A cute meal made for lime since he had to take a long MCP exam today (FYI it was the upgrade exam from MCDBA to MCTS in SQL Server 2005 -_-;). Some people have asked me whether he gets embarrassed when I make him cute things. He swears he doesn't and that he thinks it's funny. For the record I have offered to stop making them cute. His coworkers saw this one and snerked at him a little while simultaneously proclaiming my awesomeness. :P

Hello Kitty and friends waffles, heart-shaped watermelon piece, tamagoyaki, and turkey sausage bites. There is maple syrup in the yellow Hello Kitty container.

Today's lunch is my version of makunouchi bento.

So. Tired.

( It's not that exciting today. )

I made obento for myself today too but it's so ugly I'm not taking a picture of it, heh. Also this picture looks too green...there are berries in the top tier but you can't see them very well. I got a different kind of lettuce than I'm used to and I had a hard time making it behave. Oh well, I'll know better tomorrow. :)

( Contents and nutrition info )

I did not make obento for myself today because I want to eat a sandwich. In the top tier: green beans, radish slices, baby corn, red currants, and nectarine pieces. In the bottom tier: brown rice mini star and heart onigiri (the hearts have yukari furikake on them), teriyaki Kobe beef, snow peas, red mini bell pepper, and carrot cutouts.

Today we took a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo to see the flamingo exhibit, to stare at the giraffes (I LOVE GIRAFFES), and to eat delicious obento.

I keep forgetting how much I dislike making sushi rice. I don't have one of those hangiri things to put it in after it's done cooking so I always have to come up with some cockeyed plan to mix it up and then I get frustrated and I end up making Scott do it. He does a good job, though. :P

Last night we made sushi for dinner and there was way too much of it (too bad rabs wasn't here to eat it as soon as it came off the block) so today's lunch is sushi leftovers.

Today I tried to make bunnies out of pears with varied success. Then I got the bright idea to make bunnies a recurring theme in this obento, so there's a carrot-shaped bottle of soy sauce, carrot cutouts, and bunny nori punches.



( BUNS! )

Scott's been harassing me to make onigiri for ages but I never feel like I have time to do it. Well, today I did it. I did it real good. Cutest. Onigiri. Ever.
