A very simple bento today. Leftover Flammkuchen – it’s kind of a German pizza but with sourcream on top (I left out the bacon to make it vegetarian), lettuce, carrot stars and two chocolate easter eggs.
If you’re interested in Flammkuchen, the lovely Meeta from What’s for Lunch, Honey? has a nice writeup about what it [...]

Big box (top): Mushroom and leek omelette on homemade dark bread, carrot and celery sticks, cherry tomato decoration
Small box (bottom): Hummus to dip the veggies into, mini Kitkat bar, pickled beans and onions, carrot flowers.
BF gets the same in his usual box. He also gets some sundried tomatoes, and no beans because he hasn’t started [...]
Bento #209 – pizza pockets
Posted in baking, bento, italian, vegetarian, tagged bento, vegetarian on February 5, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Homemade pizza pockets with mushrooms on lettuce, some spinach with garlic in a cup, sundried and non-dried tomatos, cress, grapes, a bottle of vinegar and a minimuffin.
The BF’s pizza pocket got prettier. I don’t know why mine fell in and didn’t get as nice and poofy!
They’re filled with tomato sauce (the best pizza sauce is [...]

(Get it? Roll. Hur hur. I kill myself)
I somehow don’t think I’ll ever really understand baking.
You may have noticed that I’ve been trying to teach myself to bake recently. :) Although I haven’t been blogging everything yet (I’ve also been a bit too stressed to blog) I think I can say that I’ve made progress.
But [...]

To all my readers from the USA, happy Thanksgiving! We don’t celebrate it here, but my thoughts are with you. Mmm… a holiday dedicated to having delicious food… what’s not to love?
From my side, I’ll be sharing some baking love:
I love Turkish flatbread (Pide) and I couldn’t resist making it myself. I’ve been wanting to [...]

Weekend baking: Ciabatta

Looks good.
Still filing on the recipe. The original recipe I had took what I thought was WAY too much salt (I was afraid it would kill the yeast). I halved it, but now it needed just a pinch more.
Also working on what would be the best way to preserve the lovely bubbles.
Oh, and eclipse pictures:
I [...]
Bento #136 – sushi box
Posted in baking, bento, breakfast, japanese, sushi on May 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Nigiri with salmon roe, tamagoyaki, avocado, enoki mushrooms and fried tofu on sushi rice.
The box held up nicely by the way :) It doesn’t seem to leak anything poisonous and was easy to wash.
The BF gets the same – and since he specifically asked me to buy more sugarpeas, he gets some more of those. [...]

What a monday bento. I’m sure everyone has some of those days… but I needed a bento, I have meetings straight through lunchtime today!
I came home late from Aikido training last night and was glad I already had vegetable curry and some Naan dough leftover from lunch. Make space in the box, add some microwave-cooked [...]
