(see Jack o' Lantern Bento)
5 fava bean pods (take out the beans)
3 green olives, chopped
1/2 tsp mirin
1/4 tsp rice vinegar
Toss the fava beans and olives together. Whisk the mirin and vinegar together in a very small bowl ( when I say very, I mean VERY). Toss the veggies and the dressing together. The salad is now ready to be put into your bento. Oh, BEWARE - When putting salads or anything that is moist in your bento, don't put it straight in. It is best to use wax coated dividers or a silicon cup. If you don't divide it, it will make everything else in the bento soggy.

Jack 'o Lantern Bento
Made this one fresh tonight! The picture's a little messed up, but you get the gist of this bento. The jack o' lantern is made of half of an apricot with some nori stuck to it with peanut butter. There is also a radish, some grapes, lettuce, a dolma (greek), and fava bean and olive salad. I will post the recipe for the fava bean salad soon. This box is 2 tiered, and in the 2nd tier there was some mashed banana with raspberries and coconut.
Teddy Bear Bento
I made this bento just a couple days ago, but I haven't gotten around to posting it until now. There are some bear onigiri with peas, chicken-less nuggets, and a strawberry for dessert. Yum! The peas were frozen, same with the chicken-less nuggets so there was less work for me. Use the freezer to your advantage - it really saves a whole lot of time!Wednesday, May 28, 2008
New to This
Hey, everyone! I had a blog before, but I'm starting it with another service now, so I have to get it started. I haven't packed a bento in a little while, so I'm going to get it going again. Check back soon!
