Bento #21 Another bunny rabbit bento

Yesterday, I thought my camera couldnt work well because of the battery issue. HOwever, that's not the case..I have recharged the battery last nite,but when I tried to snap today's bento it stil couldnt auto focus. N, I am not that skillful with manual focus. Enuff said, I din know what went wrong..but it really spoilt my mood the whole morning..I felt some part of me missing...LOL, lil bit dramatic..:op
I finally tried to find the problem using Mr. Google...^>^..try to find some other people who has similar problem with same camera..And yes,..! I love Mr. Google, he's the answer for my problem. I managed to do the soft reset, and voilla...it's back to life!!
Too bad that It wasnt working when I snapped the bento...so, enjoy the dark, blurry picture!

Today's menu:
1. Cheese sandwich
I, again...made the bunny rabbit..perhaps, am stil in the mood of easter?
I put tiny carrot- pretending the rabbit eating a carrot..:) made from lowfat cheee, and the green color from apple skin. Well, I couldnt think what else I could use to find green color. I dun want to use eggsheet, cause that would be too much waste since I only need little.
Honestly, I think my rabbit really the ugliest rabbit ever..:), I couldnt think how to make bunny look cute..^_^..maybe next time I'll try again. Nuff with bunny this week.
2. Mini sausages
3. Grapes

Bento #20 Speedy bento

Today I found my bestfriend didnt help me as much as I needed her. When I wanted to take the bento picture today, the battery almost gone flat..it has no enuff energy to auto-focus, resulting most of the pictures blur..*sigh*,
So this is the best I could do...
I like the simple speedy bento that I made today.
Everything fits perfectly in a small size lunch box..Perfect for the tiny tummy..^_^

At first, I didnt plan to make bento. I was thinking just to prepare slices of cakes and grapes but it ended up I added lil bit this and that..LOL, I guess these days, un-pretty snack box, make my eyes sore...blame it to the bento addiction. ^@^

Today's menu:
1. Greentea chiffon cake
I made it last nite since I see the bread that I have has gotten dry. Cut the bunny rabbit shape cheese..put eyes, mouth with nori
2. Ham
3. Grapes
4. Star Boiled egg

Bento #19 Tiger Bento

When I was rummaging through my folders, I just realized that I have one more bento picture not been posted.
This bento was done in the mood of celebrating the Chinese New Year 2010-which is a Tiger year. I had so much fun making it the nite before when all my kids were asleep. I had all the time, without bothered by the kids, without the rush, it was like doing a kid art craft. FUN!
The satisfaction that it gave when u're able to make the detail, couldnt be described.. ^-^

Here we go:
1. Tiger choco sandwich
I used a bear cookie cutter for the tiger, and used two different kind of cheese for the face. Nori was used for the eyes, and the tiger stripes.
2. Apples
3. Kit kat chocolate
4. Yogurt

Bento #18 Sea bento

AT last, I dun feel like owing anything now.. I've cleared up all the bento pictures in my folder..It gave me such a relief and pleasure at the same time to be able to post 17 bento posting in only few days. Nope, it doesnt mean that would be my last posting about making bento. I reckon my folder will keep piling up with some bento pictures..but, I have reduced my burden now..as I can start doing it slowly one by one, not marathon posting like now..:))

Stop the rumbling..
I had an idea about sea bento..If u're into bento, am sure you have seen many of the bento bout similar ideas. Mine would be much simpler than that..:))
Just take a look the picture:
1. It's a butter and sugar sandwich.
Just dust the cocoa powder mix with icing sugar to the top part of the bread with a whale plastic stencil plate. It's pretty easy and make it looks nice.
2. Fish shape egg.
Use the fish shape egg mold. Boil the egg, peel the skin, and put it into the mold..and voila after sometimes, it looks like fish. My egg was apparently not the rite size, so it doesnt give the nice look..Please make sure you pay attention to the size of egg you need to use for the mold. I used the medium size of egg,while the mold required a L size egg and you can tell the result not as nice. hence, I add the carrot for the tail, and put some nori for the body.
3. Octopus wieners
Hahaha..I know you dont see their legs..but believe me..it's eight each..:))
4. Fruits..grapes.

bento #17 Farm bento

Inspired by my children story book about the Farm. I dig out some idea how to create the Farm into bento snack box. In the story, the farm has chicken, cow, and pig, and horse. But, I really have no idea how to make horse...:))

The usual snack that I always give zoe are cocktail, sandwich or boiled egg with some fruits.

So, here they are...:
1. Cow Egg.
the black spots I use nori. Just cut freehand some odd circle and place it on the egg. It will easily stick there. I did it the nite before, but the seaweed turned ugly the following day due to the mist from the fridge. The ear and the mouth made from ham.
2. Chick choco sandwich
I used the penguin cookie cutter to make the shape of the chick. Accidently the leg cut off. That gave me an idea to use different color of the cheese, and it now looks more like feet..:)
3. Pig wiener
The taste is not as good as the look I think..:)) It's bit sour...I should have stick to use chicken sausage than lamb.
4. Fruits, grape and apple...and use the carrot as baran..pretending it's a fence..

My daughter reaction when she saw it in the morning is.."Where is the farmer, mom?" and..."I think you should put the hay"...HELLOWW???!! ^_^, a thank you, mommy would sound better, sweetie..LOL.

You can see the chick sandwich close up. It's made of cheese, the red thing is made from apple skin.



This is her with the bento:

Bento #16 hatched egg

My daughter, Zoey..she's such a picky eater. One of her fave food is boiled egg, or any egg..she would gobble it rite away. well..Am lucky enuff in this case, make my life easier in preparing her snack box for school.
There are so many creative way u could do with boiled egg.. such today, i made it look like a hatched chick.. However, It's not as smooth to make it as I expected it would...when i cut the white egg, my knife always scratch the yolk.
I then, put the eyes and the lil beak - made from nori.
Rest of the snack box would be flower sausages, just score the top part of the sausage and i put the tini circle carrot to it..Put some fruits, and yogurt drink (Yogurt is her fave, that's why you will notice I always put it in most of her snack box), and bite sizes of chocolate sandwich.
