Bento 4 (First “fancy-ish” bento)

tunarollup.jpgSo I decided I wanted to do something a little different than a blah sandwich so I decided to try a tuna fish roll up. Made your basic tuna fish (tuna fish in water; drained and just enough light Miracle Whip to get it wet but not oozy) and put it on on the end of a piece of boston lettuce. Then you just roll it up and you don’t really need anything to secure it, it stays in place as long as you’ve got the flap part either facing up or down.  I wondered if I’d miss the bread I’m so used to having and I know people on low carb diets use this as an alternative so why not give it a go.

I had my first try at the molded eggs last night which was comical. I’ll do another post on that one. Poor lil’ mangled things. But I saved the 2 best ones, the bear and car for this bento. Then 3 of the onigiri rice “nuggets” which I made this morning and I made 6 onigiri’s and 6 cute molds of bears, hearts and stars.   I must admit I felt very sassy eating this and it was very filling.  It’s the little things that amuse me these days!

    [...] I told you in the Bento 4 post that I had my first run in with egg molds. The rabbit egg mold was the whole reason I even started [...]

    You’re so much more ambitious than me, lol! I wannna see a better picture of the egg things next time – I’m not getting what it is you’ve done to them. I suppose I coulod do a search for egg molds, but I’d rather let my new friend explain. :D

    Oh man, I’d never do it the justice these other bento bloggers do it. So for now I’ll give this link http://www.cookingcute.com/using_egg_molds.htm

    I’ll make it a mission though to do that and see if I can give a decent presentation! :)
