Bento #29

Bento #27, 28

I made a 'Valentine's Day' bento for little one to take to ballet class. Not much work done on it, except little heart-shaped stuff to keep her happy.

The bento above had cuttlefish balls, and rice wrapped up into a ball. I make sure she has almonds every day now, as a friend mentioned to me that she gives them to her girl each day for breakfast as it is good for their brains. Well, no harm in trying. ;) I bought the smoked almonds and she loves the taste of that. :)

Happy Valentine's Day

A very Happy Valentine's Day to all. I baked some cutout biscuits yesterday using my new Cinnamoroll & My Melody cookie cutters. However, I won't be posting the recipe here as I wasn't too pleased with the result of the dough. It was too soft to handle and really tough just putting these few pieces together. Have to hunt down a good cutout cookie recipe.. Do you have one to recommend? :)

Yesterday was hubby's birthday, so we went for an early lunch before sending little one to school. Since she was having a proper lunch, I decided to just give her some cookies and fruits for her snack. Bought 2 punnets of blueberries at $4plus for 2 at NTUC.

Bento #26

I borrowed a book from a friend the other day, and decided to try out the methods used in cutting shaped mini sausages. Very pleased with how the crab turned out, and octopus is pretty easy to do. Made some bowl-shaped pizza bread and princess said it was yummy. She didn't like the corn kernels though, as I had mixed in a bit too much butter.

Just complaining...

Something is very wrong with blogger today. It doesn't allow me to load photos. It keeps saying it's done but no photos are loaded at all. Am I the only one facing this problem today? Anyway, it's frustrating having to do it over n over. I even tried logging out and in again. Will try again later...

Oh alright, have checked out other blogs and it doesn't seem to be a problem with just me. All our photos are missing from blogger so there must be something funny going on.

Bento #25

I made a mini hamburger with homemade beef patty, lightmeal roll, some egg mixture (leftover from this morning's breakfast of french toast) which I fried into an omelette, and a slice of cheese. I gave her some strawberries which I need to clear off, together with grapes, some young corn, and cashew nuts (which she loves). I used the cute 'Minna No Tabo' bento box, a gift from KY & A, all the way from Xiamen. :)

Bento #24

Today's bento is made up of ready stuff which I didn't even have to cook or prepare. I got a stick of chicken balls, a sausage bun from Crystal Jade bakery, and washed some cherry tomatoes as well as some grapes and just arranged them in the box. I hope to be more creative tomorrow. :P
