Night Garden Bento

Aren't peas fun!? Yea not really, but Kai loves em so we try to use them as much as we can!

So on the bottom tier we have pea flowers on a ground of pasta and a barley sky with a cheese moon. There is also a cheese bunny resting on a breaded chicken rock.

Top tier is fruit and cheese and jam sandwiches (which is an experiment by Ben. Not sure how those are gonna taste :/ )

Super Bowl bento

Whoo! Giants win the Super Bowl! And thank God, cause if not I'm sure Ben would have pitched a fit!

So to commemorate their win we did a Super Bowl bento!

The bottom tier is green tinted barley with mushroom soup, edamame bean players, cheese lines and logos and ground beef as the crowds!

Top tier is a strawberry and blueberry mix (Giants colours!), and foot ball cheese and chicken (ahem, left over chicken wing meat lol) sandwiches.

Football Family!

Did you guys watch the game?

Gold Wave Nails Did

I challenged myself to do a 15 minute manicure while I was still the only one in the office early this morning. I originally want do some sort of ornate dotting and swirling pattern then I realized it was 8am and I just wasn't going to get that to happen lol.

So I ended up thinking of the people on my 2nd floor at work, the good old people in radio! So in tribute to them who were all probably working as early as I was I did a take on the radio wavelength.

I used China Glaze 2030 as a base and then simply lined in some waves with a nail art pen in black! Simple, quick, modern, and I like it.

Chevron Nails Did

Well I set out to do a military kind of theme and then somewhere in the design things started to go wrong. And then I kinda just went with it. It actually looked much better than it managed to photograph...

Maybe I have to get some khaki polishes for actual military inspiration! lol.

I used Nubar Forest with a layer of Nubar Wildlife as the base, then used painters tape to block out some triangles and then used China Glaze 2030 to fill it in. Lastly to cover the edges I used a black nail art pen swiper.

Meh...its okay.

Not gonna lie, the other night was a laaazy night. I made some healthy shepards pie with mashed cauliflower and decided to just use that. But I spruced it up with spelling Kai's name in peas right? RIGHT?

 Next to that we have some edamame with carrots and little sesame seeds. Top tier is pineapple and kiwi with cheese and chicken melt sandwiches.

What Came First bento

We have to use up our quail eggs and left over chicken so we decided to do a chicken theme!

Bottom tier has a layer of orzo pasta with tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, and cheese. Then we hard boiled our last quail eggs and put carrot feet and noses and nori accents. The one yellow quail egg we stripped to just the yolk. The other chickens (and rooster) are cut out of pounded chicken breast and have carrot beaks and wings. 

Top tier is a fruit mix and tiny sandwiches of cheese and salmon cream cheese!

Seriously Kai gets more for lunch than I do.

In the Garden Bento

I'm trying to teach Kai how to smell flowers rather than eat them but I guess this doesn't help my case. :/

Bottom tier is omelette wrapped hotdog with mashed cauliflower, peas and spinach.

Top tier is a fruit medley and chicken and cheese sandwiches shaped like birds. Which is a little macabre now that I think on it lol.
