First bentôs
May. 3rd, 2010 02:14 pmLast night I prepared my first "real" bentôs.
Basically I didn't do what I had planned, since I had completely forgotten about Saturday being 1.May and thus a holiday. No grocery shopping! We went out grab some groceries on Sunday, but well, neither the supermarket and the products there a favourite nor are the prices.
In the end I still did the potato salad (I craved for one for a couple of days already), though a very simple one (potatoes, peas, champignons de Paris, cornichons, mayo, ...), Matt getting some tuna, too. (On the right.) In the second box he had apple-bunnies, tuna onigiri and a couple of tuna maki from the rests. He was a bit resilient about the whole potato salad idea, but he seems to have enjoyed it anyway. ♥ (I admit that I was afraid that the weather would be hot and sunny and the whole salad would turn into a disaster, but luckily it was a cold, rainy day until now.)
My box contained almost the same plates. I put my apple-bunnies onto my potato salad (too bad we had no eggs) and my little box contained 3 cheese-tomato-sticks (since he doesn't like tomato, Matt hadn't those, but he had the additional maki) and an onigiri. Yumm.
PS: Did I mention that the home-made lion-bars are pure indulgence? Though I changed the recipe and will adapt it some more next time.
