Bento #58 & 59

Sorry IM, I know you are very excited to see the bentos, but was caught up yesterday and couldn't update blog. Apologies. Well, anyway, had to make sure I do it this morning without fail. :P This bento below is for my girl comprising rice with furikake in the middle, so as not to spoil Cinnamoroll's face. I cut out two carrot flowers for the hairpiece, and attached them with vermicelli. In the boxes, I included sugar beans, kamaboko, fish sausage, sweet potato, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, rabbit apples and persimmon. As my girl's bento is smaller, I put her fruits in a separate container. She finished everything in her Cinnamoroll bento and I thought wow, that's great, she ate the sweet potato too, and the sugar beans. But this morning she told me the sweet potato was yucky and she threw out the sugar beans. Lol. She doesn't like mashed potatoes or mushy food of any kind. Hmm... I wanted to try it out anyway, since she recently started liking lotus paste buns. Cinnamoroll's eyes and mouth are cut from crabsticks. It was really tough cutting out the mouth and one is uglier. Hehe. But princess was really sweet and said that it's ok, she'd have the ugly mouth, and to give the nicer one to J. :) To round off the meal, a marshmallow for each girl.

This second box was for princess' classmate as she is a great Cinnamoroll fan. Both girls had exactly the same food, but J's came back only half eaten. Was asking my girl if J doesn't like cherry tomatoes and her reply was that J said she's never eaten them before. Haha. In any case, am glad that J enjoyed her bento, but I guess it was too much food for her to finish in a short time. :)

Fruits for the princess.

Grandpa is back from Hokkaido and brought this for princess just before school yesterday. Apparently it's only available in Hokkaido, as the box says?

Have a great weekend!
