    Inspired by my new Japanese bento book I made not one but two bentos tonight (Benno insisted he get one too). Interestingly enough, the capybara, which looks furry and round like a cute little rodent, is called a fish by the Catholic church, making the eating of it’s meat permitable in a Lenten diet. They…

    Bento from the first week of school, term 2. Monday’s bento: bed of rice with inari robot from the Laputa movie, surrounded by carrot and cucumber flowers. Friday’s bento: “Mr and Mrs Penguin”. Rice onigiri with nori faces and carrot feet, mouth, star and bowti surrounded by fancy lettuce.

    …there’s something down there… do you remember the kid’s tv show, the Trap Door? Maybe these meatball monsters might be from down there. Actually, it’s probably more of a spring theme than a scary trap door monster theme… too many flowers and not enough ghosts.

    Here’s my second attempt at creating characters out of food for my bento. This one features a bear, a person and little pacman aliens. Carrot and seaweed were used for the eyes and the faces were leftover soy-dama.

    Tuesday’s radish man bento. Radish man on lettuce with chopped banana and kiwi flower. Rice onigiri with strange faces, leftover tofu, carrot and bok choy in miso sauce. Benno said my bento lacked characters, so here’s my attempt at making little faces to sit in my lunchbox. I could probably be more creative if I…

    Monday’s bento has a musical theme. A zigzag kiwi surrounded by sweet nutmeg rice and a spring onion, radish, cucumber, carrot and lettuce salad. Leftover potato, Japanese green and soymince curry with rice. Music note made with sesame seeds, ledger lines with nori.

    Oishi – delicious (word of the day for Sunday). Gyoza was next on our list of Japanese foods to try to make at home. We found some gyoza wrappers in the fridge of the supermarket and Benno bought some  TVP (soy mince) in Tokyo this week. The filling was made from a mixture of: 1/2…
