I've been busy checking out shoppingmom's blog with her beautiful Christmas bentos. Copied lots from her blog, as I don't have any original idea.... hehe.... Love her tutorial on shaping sausages and carrots, as seen in various Japanese blogs. I swapped the sausages with porkball, which of course didn't turn out as nice. The edges are not as sharp because of the difference in texture. But beats a plain porkball anyday. And if you're particular about the nitrite content in sausages, this may be an alternative to consider.
Girlet's bento has a supposedly winter Hello Kitty. Planned to add more details, but the snowman took up too much time, as the filament stick kept unraveling. Sheesh! Anyone can tell that I'm not very patient with meticulous details.
Boylet's bento has a Christmas tree and snowmen. Girlet decorated the tree by herself and seeing how pleased she is, I left it as it is. She had fun punching all the nori too, with a little help with the HK puncher.
Both kids cleaned their bentos and Girlet in fact asked for another onigiri, so I made a round one with seaweed for her. And both also had a lot more grapes. So happy they are regaining their appetite.
In case I don't get a chance later, here's wishing everybody a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
