Kero-chan!


Over the school break for MLK Day I decided to do some egg sheet practice.  I wasn't sure what I was going to use all of the egg sheets that I made for exactly, so I wrapped them up in cling wrap and stored them in the fridge until inspiration struck.  I think I'm getting better at making them!  Although I'm still not sure why my egg sheets are always so shiny in pictures, lol.

One of A-chan's favorite manga is Card Captor Sakura so I decided to make Kero-chan for her.

In the bento: Cheese and soy turkey sandwich, egg sheet kero-chan, steamed broccoli, baby carrots, baby corn, grapes and plum slices.

I used scissors to cut the crust off the bread slices.  Most of the time when I try to cut bread with a knife I end up with a much smaller piece of bread and a lot of crumbs.  Instead of using scissors to cut the egg sheets, this time I utilized my handy dandy exacto knife which was way more fun.

LCE #12

It's not exactly a bento, I know. I really enjoy decorating my daughter's high chair tray for lunches though. And it's a great practice arena for bento making because I need to try things on a large scale before trying them in tiny bento boxes!



A very simple lunch today, but an old favorite. Pickles and a tomato heart, spaghetti noodles with a tomato flower, babybel cheese flowers with grape centers, tomato soup, grapes.
