Merry Christmas 2009

I've stopped making bentos for the past month or so, due to illness.
So fast..it's a month now since the last bento.
Actually wanted to make a birthday one for Rn and also Xmas ones for the kids but didnt get down to it eventually.
Maybe next year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010!

Wishing for 2010 to be a happier & healthier year for myself and my loved ones.
2009 was a bad one for me.

Bento #50 Robotic Trio

Finally I hit my 50 bento target! Too long... especially since i have not been making much the past 2 months. I do enjoy making them, just that sometimes really need to have the mood and idea as to wat to make. Another problem is that I find it taxing that when I'm preparing the ingredients and cutting or watever, the kids would be "disturbing" at the side and it gets disruptive for me. Like having to run to the toilet for Ks or clean up watever Rn spat out or spilled on the sofa. In fact, i get quite annoyed.

Anyway i made these 3 bentos for Sat's dinner at inlaws. Since we were making fried rice so decided to make something.

Rn's bento

Ws's bento

Ks's bento

So here they are. I call them the robotic trio cos of the way their arms are placed & the squarish faces...look like robots?

Bento #49 Ugly piggy

Made these simple buns for breakfast on 11 Nov. Had no idea wat to make so since i bought some butter buns, I just decor the bun with ham & cheese to make 2 ugly pigs!

Also made 2 ham filling buns for papa to take away to office for his breakfast.

Bento #48 Kitty again & bunny

Made something for little ws & the kids on Sunday 1 Nov.
(upon her request)
Decided to do spaghetti since it was easier to eat.
Was quite a rush as we were out at Gymboree class at Vivo before that and only got home like 4.30pm. No preps made so couldnt come up with anything fanciful.
Had to use cheese since it was easiest.

Ks's bento

Ws's bento. I wanted to use Elmo for her but she chose Stitch for herself.

Made kitty for her this time.

Nana's bento.

Hmm...photos turn out bit dark and yellowish...

Bento #47 Bunny, Bear, Flower sandwich

Something simple for breakfast for Nana.

Elmo lunchbox!

New addition to my bursting cabinet of character lunchboxes!
I think it's time I stop...

Oh but wait...i just ordered another from kaikai.
Cinnamoroll.
Then I think I've kinda completed the collection.

Ouch...the damage.

Bento #46 Triangle Twinsおむすび

Made this for their lunch.
Triangle twins onigiri with fish fillets & fish/crabmeat siewmai.
They finished everything!

Ks has twins but smaller ones.

Nana has 1 bigger one...and see her new Elmo lunchbox?

It's pretty big.

And of cos, she didnt eat the grapes...I did!

It was just to fill up space and also decoration...
