Bento#56

My wisdom tooth is bothering me for 2 days now, and I’m still thinking if I should get it extracted. It’s a minor surgery, but it’s painful as I’ve done it before. Gee….not again!

I was a monster mommy yesterday, and I didn’t have mood to be nice to my kids. Thus, I wanted to show them that I’m sorry about my behaviour and try to show them that I love them a lot. Today’s bentos have lots of hearts, representing my love for them.

Each bento has heart shaped French toasts, 2 quail eggs, some sausages, heart shaped strawberries and 2 tiny citrus fruits which look like tangerine, but not tangerines! I bought the wrong fruit. :P I slotted in some strawberry jam in the mini mayonnaise containers.

I need to help the kids to peel of the skin of the fruit, and if you know what’s the name of it, let me know! I bought the wrong pack, and there are only Thai words on the label, so I’m not sure what they are. They taste sweet, but not as sweet as tangerines.

I used the multi cutters to shape a shape on the quail eggs. It’s pretty easy to be done, and as long as you have smaller cutters, you can try it out. I shall practice more in making faces on food since my kids like it and the “faces” are still in place by late afternoon if I keep the bento boxes upright.

I didn’t use lots of picks this time but just packed in a pair of fork and spoon by Ciao and strap the bentos with straps given by Arlene.  I wonder why I can’t find cute straps in various design here at Daiso and Sanrio?

    Allthingspurple, go use the HK containers! Your girls will love them.

    Jacss, it’s quite easy as I rolled the eggs in boiling water for awhile before leaving them to boil. Most of the time, the yolk will be in the middle then. You can give it a try. :)
