leggo my obento! the bento blog

my bento

left: sauteed cremini mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cucumber salad with roasted sesame seeds; right: gerard’s gourmet sweet basil and pine nut chicken sausage; dessert: apple sauce

he just had a leftover subway sandwich and i chopped up a kiwi for him.. not very exciting so i didn’t take a picture.

now rather than experimenting with just japanese foods, i’m focusing on integrating other types of food into my bento while still giving it a japanese *feel* as it were.  my only criticism of this bento is it could be more colorful.  the mushrooms and sausage could have been mixed together and i could have put some orange slices or steamed carrot next to the cherry tomatoes.

no bentos for a few days!  i’m headed down to portland for the weekend!!
