[J Food]: Bento #4+5!~♪

Huhu~

At the weekend for my part-time job I´ve made 2 bentos again :)
Because I didn´t have much time before leaving, it´s nothing special though.

Bento #4:



Upper left tier: 3 triangle-shaped onigiri, filled with turkey hen (Putenwurst) and wrapped with nori
Lower left tier: Maultaschen (Swabian pockets) sliced into small long pieces
Upper right tier: sliced carrots, red paprika and cucumber
Lower right tier: one more Maultasche + 2 inarizushi



.. and yes it was too much to eat for me XDDDD *lol*



Everything ready and packed. Using Tupperware until I´ll buy new bento boxes ^^;


Bento #5:



Upper left tier: Colored, boiled egg + spring roll, sliced into 2 pieces
Lower left tier: Sliced carrots and cucumber, triangle-shaped onigiri, wrapped with nori
Right tier: almond biscuits, haribo
Plus: egg-shaped salt cellar ^^V





And everything packed and ready again XD (and yes I´ve used cold bags or whatever "Kühlakku"´s called in English XD ... the second time I used too much, so the food was too cold. Well, I´m still learning anyway, nee? ^^;;;


Oh and I´ve started a small Bento Gallery (^-^;)


That´s all for today.
Bye buuu~

Oh, I didn´t color them. You can buy them like that here in Germany ^^;
I only know how to color "empty" eggs for Easter, so ... I have no idea how they do it with hard-boiled eggs, sorry (^^;;)

P.S.: Love your MatsuJun icon <3

In order to color hardboiled eggs, you can either buy a kit (in the US, the most well known kits are made by brand called Paas, but there are more out there) or use a combination of food coloring, water and vinegar.

You can also use white wax or a white crayon to make markings on the eggs, neither of which take the dye, and that will leave neat patterns on your eggs. There are also a number of other techniques that can be used to really make colored eggs unique, and I found a website for you (and anyone else who may be interested in learning more about dyed eggs) here: http://www.amazingmoms.com/htm/holiday_eastereggs.htm

(PS - I added you after you posted the wonderful pictures of your trip to Japan in the foodporn community. I find your journal fun and quite interesting, plus, I lived in Germany for a few years. I speak a little German, and plan on taking German as a minor in college because I wish to become fluent in the language. Anyhow, I just wanted to introduce myself - my name is Jenifer. I hope you find the egg decorating information helpful, or at least interesting!)
