* Nacho chips and a minicontainer lid of salsa
* Decoration: green (“white”) bell peppers, slices of fresh green chili, thai basil leaf.
* Extra container with more white bell [...]

Yarr, me hearties! Join me in a tale of plunder and booty!
Yonder on backbord ye sees me treasure island, hidden in the lettuce seas on an atoll of the finest couscous sand. Ye can see I traced out the map on it already in furikake and carrot, and a carrot skull of the last one [...]

I was too tired to make a bento today, but I was also too tired to write up yesterday’s bento. So here it is:
* Thai red curry with cocos milk
* white rice
* raw green bell peppers
* Thai basil leaves as decoration (and I tried to punch out tiny carrot stars but that didn’t work well)

* Avocado
* Grape tomatoes
* the rest of the tuna mix wrapped with leek into salad leaves (because I hate to throw away food!)
* mini pudding
* apple
And a question:
Do [...]

Bento #5!
All that talk of bowtie pasta made me think of penguins…
Open Source Pasta!
Ovenbaked Farfalle pasta with veggie sauce and a cheesy Tux on top. The cheese wasn’t really ideal for it so it broke in places but oh well. Next time I’ll make one with Nori and cheese on rice!
Also in the Bento:
* Shredded [...]

Bento #3!
Took my big box today and filled it with random boxes. Starting top left:

* Between containers: Sohan (that's an iraqi (?) sweet containing almond splinters, cashews or sesame seed glued together with some sort of honey caramel)
* Minicontainer with bananas. Look! Bananaface! (black sesame)
* In [...]

I was really tired and rushed last night so I couldn't make anything for leftovers. Still tired this morning, I reasoned CousCous is the prefect food for being so – it's quick and it works when you don't feel like rice or pasta.
Couscous salad!
Couscous with black sesame sprinkles, decorated with some carrots and leek and [...]

Only a quick leftovers-bento today but nevertheless! My first bento!
And you were right – it's really filling even if it's that little.
Rice with carrot sunrise, banana curry decorated with more romanescu cauliflower, mini-twix.
As some people have asked, I'll post a little more about the banana curry. It has no specific ethnic origin, it's just something [...]
