First Bento!

I finally got around to creating my first bento.


The bottom tier (top tray in this picture) holds strawberries, a container of cottage cheese, macadamia nut mix, and a hard boiled egg made in the shape of a bunny . The top tier (bottom tray in picture) holds two circle-cut mango jelly sandwiches, some sliced mango and kiwi, more strawberries, and some chocolate-espresso pudding.


This is the bento closed up in my horsey container.

No I didn't eat this one (cottage cheese for me?! no way). I made it for my boyfriend/fiance when he came home for a lunch break. Although it isn't nearly as clever and well organized as the stuff pro-bento makers create, I'm pretty happy with my first attempt.

What are the food themes suppose to be? and why is he your boyfriend/fiance? I feel it is safe to assume that if he was your fiance he would also be your boyfriend. Unless you are a cheater....

Well of course he is my boyfriend AND fiance. I guess that didn't come across so well.
