Grr – and I didn’t make a celebratory bento! I’m going to have to do that tomorrow.
I’m not sure my BF will be able to eat this… creepy forest spirits made of cheese on 3 mushroom rice. (By the way, this is not a good dish for mixing different types of rice. The cooking time difference makes the recipe not work well :/)
Since I’m gonna eat bento both morning and evening tomorrow, I made a whopping 4(!) different bentos tonight! Weekend cooking + weekend leftovers make for lots of bento ingredients, luckily.
Also for the BF. Halloumi sandwiches with homemade half-wholemeal buns, lettuce, onion and tomato, and a marble box of falafel, croquette balls, brussel sprouts and a cherry tomato. The dog contains Ajvar and mayo.
The box is new and has a cute cartoon character on the front, Petterson and Findus (Findus is the cat). There is also a tray that fits in it, but I took it out to fit the sandwiches.
My sandwich is accompanied by couscous salad decorated with a tomato and parsley flower, and a fizzy lemon sherbet candy for afterwards.
And my lunch menu contains leftovers from the curry cookoff yesterday: Bell pepper curry on rice, and plantain curry with grapes and a cherry tomato in the upper layer.
I’ve never had plantains before! They are quite nice – somewhat like potatoes, but without the typical “boiled potato” taste. They smell nicely of banana, too. I used this recipe and I heartily recommend it!
So much for my cooking adventures this week! How about you?
I love your blog! I live in the US. I’m so glad you update so often.
wow, you’ve been busy! Now you made me crave a good curry. Haven’t eaten it in ages… mmmm a proper chicken tikka masala mmmm
Sorry for posting a comment again but i have a question for you, I’m just intrested to know what ML most of your bento boxes are? I just started bento and when mine arrived I was surprised how small they are, are most of your quite small too? (Then again I am an American and we eat BIG portions) Just wondering… :-)
Yes, they are quite small. My BF gets the bigger Curver boxes (the one with the forest spirits) which are more suited to a Western appetite/body size.
;)
I think all of your bento’s look like celebratory bento’s! (Yes, longtime lurker here!)
Keep up the good work!

where did you get the oval box that your sandwich and cous cous is in? I really like that one whenever you use it.
I bought it in a HK shop in Vienna (Stiftgasse 27, called Kitty World http://www.asiamall.at/ ). I’m not sure if they do mail order but I’ve seen the same box with a different cover on ebay.
