Tatatadaaa..
Here is the bento I made for my Boyfriend last week.

When I got the bento back empty.. There was something missing. The devider part of the tire with the salade. I asked him where he left it. He told me he threw away the cucumber and the grape tomatoes, He said he emptied it in the trashcan... I got mad because this is a new bento box and it was expensive. He thought it was not a part that could come out of the box. So I told him when he would go back to his work yesterday to go and look for it in the trash and I hoped the trash was not emptied yet.

I was so glad he texted me that he found it. Or else I told him I wanted a new bento box.. with the other box he took out the devider piece... He can be so stupid from time to time. But I am glad I got it back. From now on I will give him cheap simple lunch boxes instead of my bento's. I can not use them myself because I eat at work with the kids in the daycare... so they will be in the clean and packed away :(

I have decided to experiment a bit and used polenta instead of rice for my onigiri molds. They were made in less than 5 minutes and turned out great, so I will be making more of these for sure. :)



Top tier: polenta bear, star and flower with steamed Brussels sprouts and carrots

Bottom tier: fat-free peach yogurt with peach slices

Side: ChocoRoll & Grape Jelly

A few days ago I received the new Ginshari San bento box (I love it!) and all kinds of bento accessories, including the cute bear chopsticks, various rice molds and tons of Japanese snacks.

Here's the new box and chopsticks:
