The polar bear is a little onigiri rice ball with nori face details, and a cucumber skin and radish skin holly detail on her ear. Also in this bento box: steamed broccoli, apple 'rabbits' made from Lambert's Apples, half of a radish, baby carrots, and a homemade pork patty.
I also did some festive nail art last night. This is a plum colored polish for the base, then an awesome holiday sparkle polish from OPI on top. On my thumb I drew a holly leaf with a few little berries (you can barely see them). I did it while watching the movie Inception, which I am still trying to puzzle out. What a trippy movie!
And finally, I made this little video of the first ever Bento Christmas Carol! Special thanks to dragonmamma for her edamame lyric suggestion. I hope this gives you a little chuckle. I am sure it will be the big hit of the holiday season. :)
Stay tuned for my 100th bento post! There will be a big celebration and a fun giveaway. Maybe even cake! :)
Haha!! Great blog post!! Happy Edamamus to you, too :) Hugs xoxo
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha! Glad you like it Nata! You should have seen me laughing my head off in the news booth when I sang along to the karaoke music. Priceless!
ReplyDeletecute bento and pretty nails! I like to paint my toe nails and put artwork on it...but it's been too cold that I only have green polish on and haven't had time to put any details. :( Have a wonderful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're way too generous with your credits; you even gave me top billing!
ReplyDeleteYou know, we really ought to "do lunch" some time. We've probably passed each other dozens of times without being aware of it.
Thanks Mrs. P! I used to do my nails quite a bit, but then I got obsessed with bentos. :) It is a fun time of year to do little designs, sparkle looks good on everything. :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell dragonmamma, you came up with the brilliant idea of shortening ay-dah-mah-may to ay-dah-mom, thus making the rhyming scheme possible. So I think you do deserve first billing. :) We totally have to meet up! Let's plan for something after the holidays. :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Love your fun lunches!
