First bentôs

Last 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.

bentomt o3.Mai.2010In 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.

Looks great, especially the apple bunnies! Hope it was tasty, too :).

Oh my, these filled boxes look very yummy! ♥

But tell me: how much time do you spend on doing sushi? I've never done it before myself and having started packing bentos, of course I thought about trying it...

Bwahahaha. Matt soll mir auch meinen Reis machen. XD Ich hab doch so kleine Onigiri-Förmchen, aber glaubste, ich hab den Reis schonmal so trocken bekommen, dass mir nicht das halbe Kram drinnen kleben bleibt? *g*

Ja, an frischen (oder auch nicht frischen) Fisch würd ich mich auch noch nicht trauen; Gurke, Ei, Thunfisch aber. Das zurecht schneiden und falten ist wahrscheinlich auch alles Übung... Hmmmm. Ich glaub, ich muss vorm Wochenende mal eine Bambusmatte kaufen und mit dem üben anfangen. :) (Und ein Nudelholz, damit ich hier für ordentlich auch den Reis einschlagen kann, hehe.)
