My Very First Bento
I'm soo happy. I received my second shipment from Ichiban Kan today. I decided to do my first bento for school tomorrow. It's nothing fancy but I had fun doing it.
I made teriyaki musubi. The stars, clouds, moon are made from kamaboko (fish cake) and some of the stars have cheese on them too. I had to fill the gaps and just added some ripe papaya, carrots and some lettuce underneath. Hm... what will my next bento be?
Car Egg
I got to try one of my new toys from Ichiban Kan...
Ah... it's fun to see my son easily amused. He actually played with it before we told him that it was an egg... I'm a happy mommy.
side note:
Last Saturday I found a small Japanese store that was selling bento items.
Here's my new stash.

Using the flower mold
The first thing that Z said upon seeing them was "Flower!" and started eating the garnishes. I had over 10pcs total of the flowers and cube sushis. He ate the heart-shaped seaweed, carrot flowers and flower-shaped egg. I even had to make more flower-shaped egg. All in all we were stuffed!

Roasted Tomato Pesto Pizza
One of the blogs that I follow posted a pesto pizza and I decided to do my own version yesterday for lunch. I used the pre-packaged pizza crust from Pillsbury, used some pesto sauce from Trader Joe's (fresh pesto would be much better but the basil I had on hand was frozen. I was also short on time.) I also had the bottled roasted tomatoes from Sam's Club. I added some button mushrooms and some swiss cheese. Baked it for about 20 mins. In 400 degrees. Mmmm…. Yummy!
* I didn't have the higher res camera and had to use my phone cam. sorry for the low quality image. I myself love great looking pics.
