[JFood]: Bento #11+12, Accessories and Links/Resources!☆ミ

Hey there!

New week, new bentos ^____^
My last package with bento accessories arrived last week as well. Then I wanted to show you some photos of other people´s bentos, just so you know what is possible. There are GREAT ARTISTS XD out there :)
And finally as promised, I´ll provide links to bento ressources (recipes, where to buy bento stuff etc. pp.) ^-^

Hope you´ll enjoy this post and WARNING OF COURSE IT´S HELLA IMAGE HEAVY! XD

Here we gooohoo~♪


New Bento Accessories:



This is part 1 of the package. Let´s have a closer look at the items ^-^



VEEEEEEEEEEEERY cute obentou pikkusu ^^



This item helps you to make those cute octopus sausages. I´m sure you´ve seen those in a lot of animes/dramas already, nee? ^^
If you scroll down, you´ll see some photos of bentos with them in it :3



Another set of food picks ^-^V



Onigiri molds with bear, heart and star shape ^____^



My newest bento box!!!! <333



This box comes again with chopsticks ...



VERY cute chopsticks! ^-^



It´s a 2 tier bento box with a bit more than 600ml ^-^ (just like my blue bunny bento box ^^)



And everything together again. And yes, yes, now I´ve finally got enough bento stuff. I won´t buy anything in a while, although I was thinking about buying egg molds XD



New and cute food dividers <3

Okay enough of my new stuff, let´s have a look at the crappy bentos I made this weekend ^-^; ....




Bento #11:



Somehow I wanted sushi, but I didn´t have anything at home ... so just kappamaki XD .... but it was TASTY!! (*__*)



Top Tier: soy sauce and 3 kappamaki (sushi rolls with cucumber slices), seperated by a food divider
Middle Tier: Cucumber and paprika slices <3
Third Tier: Triangle-shaped yaki-onigiri ^^, 2 kappamaki
Right Tier: gebrannte Erdnüsse (perhaps yaki peanuts XD .. burned peanuts? ... what´s the name for it in English? XDDD), egg, egg-shaped salt cellar



Close-up. I was too lazy to fill gaps XD (Usually you´re supposed to fill every single gap, when packing a bento)



Another close-up. If you know that your bento box will not stand still, then don´t pack your soy sauce like I did XDDD ... otherwise everything will overflow XD



Bento #12:



YAY! I finally tried out fried rice and I LOVE it! And as everyone said it´s REALLY easy, even for someone like me ^^; ....
You can see the ingredients I used for it. I really only used what was in the refrigerator at that time XD
Egg (scrambled egg), Putenwurst sliced (can anyone please tell me how you call this in English?? I know ham for Schinken, but would turkey hen just be "hen" if you talk about "sausage"??! (T_T) ....), and carrot slices
Cold, old rice ^-^; .....



And there it is ... all ready and yummie.
Seasoned with sugar, pepper, salt and bright soy sauce.



And here´s the bento ^-^



Left Tier: Fried rice
Right Tier: Apple slices + Japanese rice crackers <3



Okay, because my bentos are pretty boring, I thought I should show you what other people do.
There are so great, yummie and cute bentos out there, it´s unbelievable ^^;
So here we go:


Other people´s bentos:



Death Note Bento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*__________________*)



OMG! That´s so cute! And here you can see the octopus sausages I was talking about earlier ^^



Cute again. I love that pink onigiri <3







Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ XD



Buta-chans! (*__*) XD



Here a "normal" bento. Very yummie :3



I really have to buy umeboshi!



Very colorful bento. OMG I love strawberries (*_*)



[livejournal.com profile] kaoko_cow´s bentos are sooo cute! ^-^ (umeboshi as spider = very creative)



One of my most fav bentos ever ^-^V



I don´t know why, but I just love this one ^-^;







.... are you hungry now? XD .....

[identity profile] pandanroll.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, are you broke from investing in too much bento accessories? xD

But man... I really like how people can be so creative with food, especially in a bento. :D

Btw, why are your eggs in magenta colour? xD

Omg umeboshi~ Evil thing it is. xDD We had them at almost every single meal I think when we stayed at this one place (It was for about 2 weeks) and I rarely ate them..because they were just too sour for my liking. xDDD

[identity profile] nadiko.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! Those are so awesome!

I love your new bento box, it's so cute Image

*________* Another reason why i love japan , all these bento's look so cute and so much attention to detail , i wouldnt even feel like eating them , just leave them for display haha , thanks for those links also =D ... *goes off to ebay to look for bento stuff to buy XD*

[identity profile] azurewolf7.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly, it's a conspiracy to make everyone in your f-list hungry and make them buy bentos- a bento conspiracy! o.O

*stomach rumbles* ... TT_TT I'm weak- I'm supposed to be saving money for the trips I have planned (to Mexico in a few weeks and to Russia next year).... but I want bento lunches too!! Your last bento box is too cute! *__*

And I have never thought of buta-chan's as cute... until this bento post... and your bentos, and the Death Note bento, and the Pikachu bento... and all the other bentos look great and yummy *¬* .... I'm going to eat something now...

[identity profile] mypinkunderwear.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOSH.
The bentos are SO KAWAIIII. So yummy looking although I am not a fan of japanese food *runs and hide*
Hahaha, oh I don't know... I don't eat much japanese food, so I never really get to like it. Haha.

(:

[identity profile] chocomemi.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Gahhhh~! *dies from overload of cute and hunger*
I love your bento posts. :DDD
I like your Mamegoma bento box! I looove San-X! <333

Thanks for the links! I'll definitely check them out. :DDD

[identity profile] absynthefairy99.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
it doesn't make me hungry....its too cute and beautiful to eat it....wow.you have alot of time for preparing such delicate creation...love love it.

[identity profile] pearlsphere.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
omg now I know what my second career will be about: bento artist!=D
I'm so jealous of those who created those beauties really! you're right, it's unbelievable...as I said before I won't eat them just stare at them.
Oh and I think your bentos look really pretty just how they are.

[identity profile] amvn.livejournal.com 2007-11-08 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh your bentos looks so delicious, and that yaki-onigiri is so kawaii ^_^ The accessories are cute as well, I've also got the sea animal-picks as well as the octopus mold, they are really handy. And I love Mamegoma XDDDDDD

Cooking Cute and e-obento are probably my fave bento sources along with www.lunchinabox.net

WOW. There's so many interests in common that I have with you, BL manga, shoujo manga, shounen manga, games, Jdramas, jpop/jrock, CUTE bento, cooking japanese food, and recently visiting Japan, that I have to add you to my friend's list.

I don't have all my Japan pics up yet, but I do have my Japan vids up:
http://www.veoh.com/users/zeirin

You're far more daring about pics than I was. A lot of times, I was really worried that I'd make people angry by taking a lot of pictures. (Although the same could be said about my camera-videos...) I was also a bit too worried about sticking out though. ^_^;

everything is so cuteeeee~^_^
