Elaine's Baby Elephant

 

About 3 days ago, me and my husband asked this question to Elaine: 

Mama  : "Elaine, do you want baby brother?"

Elaine   : " No, mama..."

Papa    : " Do you want baby sister?"

Elaine   : "No, papa... Baby Elephant!"

We just laughed at that that time, including Elaine. In order to remember that moment, i made her own baby elephant and she smiled happily when she saw her lunch. :)

Elephant and Cinnamon Roll Bento

I woke up earlier today, because i had to prepare breakfast and lunch for my husband. Today his car's plate number is color coding, usually he goes together with his friend to the office every monday but today he has something to do earlier in the office. I just cooked simple breakfast and lunch for him because i still have to prepare and send Elaine to school.

I made onigiri bread for my husband's breakfast, i stuffed mayo pork floss inside the bread. As for his lunch, i made him elephant theme bento.

Inside the box : rice, elephant made from kani,leaves from cucumber.

Inside the other box : chicken nugget, crab claw, broccoli, stir fry carrot and corn, and actually there is also tamagoyaki. 

For Elaine, i  made her Cinnamon Roll lunch bento but it still out of shape.

Inside the box: rice, grilled sole fish, broccoli, tamagoyaki, cherry tomato.

My First Post

Today, i decided to join a blog, so i can have more relationship with other mom in the world who has the same interest as i do. Now, I really..really love to make bento for my husband and 2.5 yo daughter, i'm still a beginner because i'm starting to make them since January, 2011.. :)  So, please..please teach me how to make a better bento..

Today i make breakfast bento for my husband..it was inspired from Susan Yuen's book.I really love her book. Too bad, i could not find her 1st edition here..but i have her 2nd edition.. yeahhhh...I try to make a bear shape from raisin bread, but as you can see, the shape is not good enough..

My daughter is still in toddler class and the class is only 2 hours per day, so i don't pack her lunch box. I arrange her lunch in a plate as usual. In her plate, i put rice covered with egg sheet, rabbit shape fish cake, pan seared yellow squash ( is yellow squash same with kabocha? ), spinach and corn, and bakmoi ( the soup is separated in a bowl ).. tadaaaa...
