Bento #249

After this brief peanut-butter interlude, back to your normal bento programming.
I was actually planning to make chirashizushi with the sushi rice I prepared, but when I cut into my avocado I found it had… gone bad. Aw.
But there’s always a chance to turn defeat into something good – and nobody will argue when the alternative [...]

Bento #245 – fish quiche

Salmon and spinach quiche with a grainy crust, couscous in tomato sauce with onions and raisins, rucola and cherry tomatoes. Olive oil and balsamico vinegar dressing in the bottle. BF gets exactly the same in the other layer. I’m a bit worried that one layer each will be enough food but I stuffed them with [...]

Bento #243

Sorry about the horrible lighting in this one – I was zoned out on cough syrup in the evening and had to make this in a hurry in the morning, no time to fiddle around with the camera!
Plain onigiri, homegrown cherry tomatoes and a toffee in the big compartment, a mini quiche, broccoli and a [...]

Bento #240

Only 10 bentos left until #250!
This one is heavy on the proteins – hopefully it will help me back up from the nasty cold I caught at Aikido last week! Having a cold in summer feels silly.
Poof pastrymini quiche, half a hardboiled egg, lentil hazelnut balls, cherry tomatoes, sliced celery bites and peanut butter and [...]

Bento #237

While my new batch of Puff pastry zucchini quiches for bento is cooling in the kitchen, here’s a bento with the last of the old batch.
Also in the box: Onigiri, cucumber slices, half a kumquat, bell pepper hearts in hummus, homegrown sugar peas, parsley and an amarettini cookie.
BF had exactly the same, so no photo.

Bento #235

I have a few more boxes that might be postworthy lined up, but I just can’t get myself to blog very much recently.

For a nice midsummer picknick – mushroom and zucchini quiche, homegrown cherry tomatoes and sugar peas, and bulgur.

Big box: Slice of quiche, carrot sticks, sundried tomato, cress, cherry tomato and olive.
Small box: Couscous (there’s more underneath the stuff in the big box), carrot sticks, cucumber, fishy with balsam vinegar, chocolate Cthulhu.

BF’s box.
And because I can never resist posting a photo of a quiche…

The quiche is filled with caramelized onion and feta, with [...]

Bento #213

Two feta and tomato mini quiches on lettuce, purple potato and carrot flowers.

BF gets exactly the same. More purple potato is hidden underneath the lettuce!
I made more mini quiches for my freezer stash yesterday – but more on that later as I’ve promised that article to Maki from Just Bento as a guest post first!

Bento #212

I found those spiral-shaped rice noodles in an Asian supermarket and just had to try them…
Rice pasta with dry peanut/carrot sauce, zucchini quiche Lorraine, lettuce, cherry tomato and a mint.
The ratios are probably way off in this one but I felt like a bigger bento today. I was quite hungry after coming home from class [...]

Bento #202

I might wait with the celebrations until #250…
This bento isn’t very celebratory today, on account that I cut my finger somewhat painfully yesterday while making dinner and was in no mood to make bento afterwards. So I threw this together in the morning out of a leftover upper layer from Monday and some stock ingredients [...]
