This bento has cherry tomatoes from Ridgeview Farms and Triple T Ranch, corn from Duffy at the Santa Rosa Farmers Market, star shaped onigiri rice balls with black sesame seed accents, and a few grapes from Schletewitz Family. In the lower compartment: another star onigiri, baby carrots, steamed edamame, and chicken prepared kind of like karaage (Japanese style fried chicken) but with a glaze.
I have to head to the airport soon, so I'll try to come back and post the recipe while I am waiting for my flight. Have a great weekend Bento Buddies, and maybe I will run into you in Seattle. :)
So cute *___*

ReplyDeleteThanks Token! Dieses Bento hat auch wirklich gut gechmeckt. Ich werde mit meine Mama heute fruehstucken! Jawohl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly! It was super yum, I'll post the recipe when I get a sec.
ReplyDeleteHi Corey! After I shuck the corn, I chop it into manageable bento sized sections, then put it uncooked in freezer bags. When I want some, I pop a piece in my microwave steamer basket for about 2 minutes, then put it in the bento. By the time I eat it, it's either room temp or cold from the fridge. It's good either way!
ReplyDeleteThanks hapabento! It was actually a nice change to have the rain welcome me home. And kudos to the pilots who know how to land in puddles! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Krysta! Small details make a big difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks tatabonita! I get to have brunch with my whole family today, I can't wait! I am sure mom will say Oh My Stars! Or Oh my Heavens! When she sees it. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha Journal Mommy Jenny! It would totally crack me up. I hope lots of people in Jakarta start saying "Oh My Stars" now, that would be hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, my mom says "blast" instead of cussing sometimes, too cute! What kind of glaze did you use on the chicken? It looks great!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love those stars; the seed details make them perfect. Now I'm thinking of how many ways to make a sun with thin-cut veggies radiating out from a central circle.
ReplyDeleteLovely STARS bento! Hope you'll have enjoyable time in Seattle! That place always reminded me of 'You've got mail!'
