Voila, Our huge picnic lunch bento! As you can see, We really felt like making a cute and proper lunch today instead of just winging some crap in a random box. We aren't bentoing every day now, because We aren't working at the moment--so We can eat lunch at home pretty much every day. So when there was an opportunity for picnic bento, We went for it!
In the right (top) tier, there's a bell pepper cup with carrot and chickpea salad. There are three rice balls with shrimp and egg furikake mixed in (We gave one away to one of our picnic companions). To fill some gaps and up the protein ante, we tucked a hard boiled egg in between the rice balls. Not that you can see it, but there was lettuce on the bottom to a) make it prettier and b) make the rice balls not stick to the metal tiffin.
In the left (bottom) tier, there's grapes and strawberries, with orange sections hiding underneath. We gave a bunch of the grapes to Our other picnic companion.
If We must say so Ourself, this was a delicious lunch. And a fun time--check out the lunch vista:
Napkin switch!
Are you sure you *gave* the grapes to your picnic companion, rather than having them stolen? "I will have another grape now." ;D
ReplyDeleteWe had alternatives. We could have snatched them away, or jumped up screaming, or even stood up and held them tauntingly over the aforementioned companion's head. Instead We went with magnanimity, which is always the King's preferred Royal Choice.
