Back From Hiatus

Hola, halo, heihooo... :)

O my God, it's been so long I don't post anything to my blog. It's so hard to make a bento when you have to go to work at 6.30am. I know it's not an excuse (because some mother out there have to go to work earlier than me and still can make a bento for her kids). But my son has a catering at his school, so I don't have to worry about his lunch, hehe..

But, sometimes I miss this bentoing things. So when I got some spare time, I look at my bento stuff, clean them, store them again. My hiatus from bentoing also doesn't stop me to buy bento stuffs and books, hihi, it's hard to see a cute things, right. So when my mood in bentoing comes, I can use that stuffs :)

One day, my son said that he want me to make him a bento. So I get up earlier at that morning and make a bento for him. I used my new panda mold, just an ordinary veggies: boiled carrot, and spinach+minced meat stir fried and put some nugget. To add more panda effect, I stick some panda food picks. Really, the mold and food picks help a lot if you want to make a cute bento with no much time.

Thank you for reading my post and sorry for bad picture.
Have a nice day everyone! :)    

Farrel's Goodie bag Bento

Hi everyone, finally I can post this goodie bag bento. Remember my latest post about how to make a tigger? huft, forget about it, in the last minute, I'm too tired to make it. Even the "egg quail pigglet wannabe" have to be satisfied for being just "a pink quail egg". With no nanny on Sunday, I have to cut the veggies (with the assist of my Brother in Law+my husband), make a yellow rice. Boiled the veggies, etc, etc.

Back to the Bento. This year themes is Winnie The Pooh. Not because my son like Winnie the Pooh BUT I do like Winnie the Pooh ;) Beside that, Winnie the Pooh have the right color to celebrate birthday. For your infomation, in Indonesia we have a special rice to celebrate something. It is called "Nasi Kuning" or Yellow rice. The "Nasi Kuning" made of turmeric + rice + coconut milk. We have a special side dish to eat "Nasi Kuning". But maybe Tata can explain it to you ;) , because I'm not too familiar with it.

But for the Bento, I just put something simple for the side dish. As you can see, there is boiled corn, sausage and egg flower, meatball, chicken nugget boiled egg quail, and carrot+broccoly that I stir fry. Here is the picture







Beside the bento, I order some Winnie the pooh cookies. I lent my cookie cutter so she can make the cookies just like I want. Here is the picture.

Keroppi Bento

Today Bento's theme is Keroppi. Nothing story behind the Bento, I just want to make a smooth egg sheet like tips from Lia Chen. And it worked, Yeaaaay!!! I make the flower from sausage and egg sheet, and put the carrot, cauliflower and baby carrot for the veggies. I'm very satisfied with this bento, because this is a cuttest bento I ever made, hehehe..




My Son's Birthday is today. Honestly, I want to make an example for his birthday bento. But, I'm too tired. So, lets hope for the magic so tomorrow everything will be ok ;) Happy 2nd Birthday Son, We Love U, mmuach!!

My Birthday Bento

Today is my birthday, hohoho.. I'm 26 y.o now. So I think in my new age, I wanna give a present for my self. Yup, I make a bento. I think that's that the best present, give my self more time to do my hobby.

Thinking, thinking, thinking, "Woooow, this is my first bento on 2010!!!" And than I checked for all my tools to keep it clean, and I found that I had lost 3 cutters, poor me.. But, forget about that, dont wanna make me sad on my birthday. Nothing special in this bento, just an egg fried rice with veggies on the side. I have baby corn, broccoli, and carrot. I add some sausage to give me more protein ;)

As initial of my birthday, I make a word "happy birthday" from cheese which i cut with my alphabet cutter.


My wish list in my new age:
- Being better mom, wife, daughter, and sister ;)
- More close to God
- Having more time to do my hobby
- Success for my small business
- Reduce my weight (please God... ;p)
- Happiness for all of people around the world
Amen...

God bless u all

Pooh sandwich bento and Happy New Year

Hi, hi, hi.. how was ur holiday? Mine, so great. Not because I go to a fantastic place or what, but because I can really-really enjoy my time on that holiday. I went to bookstore, bought a couple of book, and read it in the midnight, no need to worry about work tomorrow, haha!!

Beside that, I can play with my son all the time. We play soccer inside the house, and make some messy in the living room. And I think both of us really enjoy that time.

Ok back to business ;D My bento today is really a simple bento. I just take my son's chicken finger ;p and roll it with the bread. Not forget to put some lettuce inside. For the garnish, I cut the carrot into pooh shape. And I put the sauce in the food cup.

I think it will be my last post in this year. Hope all of us will be happy and full of love next year. Happy new Year everybody..

4 season bento

When I made this bento, I want to make bento which represent the seasons. So I choose something that can reprsent each season. So here it is:
- snowman to represent a winter
- chicken teriyaki to represent autumn (because the color is chocolate ;p)
- steamed potato to represent spring (I hope it look like flower :D)
- steamed carrot to represent summer

I'm very happy today is not cloudy so I can have enough light to take a picture.

I love u pooh

I made snack bento this morning. Honestly, I just want to eat chocolate (cha cha). But it's not good in a bento box, right? So I cut the bread into pooh face with my cutter, give a margarin, and toast it for a while. I add chocolate jam for the eyes and mouths. I made a love shape from sliced cheese. I think the result is not really bad ;D

Little dissapointed with the photo. It's a rainy season now, and cloudy this morning. So I can't get a good light.. But it's okay, hope tomorrow will be the sunny day because I have some idea to make bento again ;D

elephant sandwich

didn't have enough time today, so I just put my breakfast into the box and gave the cheese. Add the cheery tomatoes with food picks, and my bento are ready...

Sometimes I want to make a cute bento, but I have to get up earlier, oh nooooooo :oD So, I have to be satisfied with my simple bento *wink*

ups, sorry I forget to mention the tomato sauce that I put into the bear cup

2 little boys

Always simply bento, because I don't have much time in the morning and honestly not have much creativity ;p This bento contain 2 rice ball, nugget, boiled veggies and sauce. I can't find any nori in my home town, so I used boiled carrot to make eyes and mouths. No time to make hair, so those kids are bald, that's why I called them: boy.

cute ghost for halloween

I made this bento because many people talk about halloween in my facebook on end of October. So I want to make something special on Halloween days. Because of not celebrating that Day, I choose to make Halloween bento.

Like usual, I don't have much time to make my bento (yes I make bento for myself, because my son only 1,5 y.o. and I think it's good practice until I can make cute bento for him). So I make the fried rice and add it with sliced cheese that I cut into ghost shape (just use my knife). I add the curly lettuce, nugget, boiled carrot and green bean.
