Easter Bunny Bento Videos

by Pikko on March 18, 2010

Alright, so I finally got my universe aligned just the right way to let me make my bento video. I’ve been planning to make this bento for a long time and since it involved the whole scrapbooking thing, I really wanted to make this one the subject of my video so that you can see how easy it is through more than just pictures.

I woke up before the butt crack of dawn to film this and make the videos, which was surprisingly easy to edit. The filming was a bit rough as I couldn’t get the right angles or lighting, but I suppose that’s just something to work on later. The bento itself went much smoother than usual because I had everything cooked and laid out before I started, which was very enlightening. I will have to try collecting everything ahead of time instead of making a dozen trips to the fridge more often. Before I get to the videos, here’s a photo.

I used another of the piece talk patterns from the old Scrapbooks, Etc. magazine I used to make the sheep and chick bentos. I split the videos into two. One shows you how to make the cheese bunny and then the second video shows you how I assembled the bento itself.

Shamrock Bento

by Pikko on March 17, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I saw a bag of quinoa at Costco and decided to give it a try. I then left it on my kitchen floor to mope dejectedly while I tried to figure out what to do with it. This morning I was too lazy to cook rice, so I decided to give the poor thing some attention and try something new.

Shamrock Bento

Not that you can see it… haha! I ended up hiding it under a cut cabbage leaf to add more green to my St. Patrick’s Day bento. I boiled it according to the package directions and then added it to the thermal jar of my Zojirushi Mini Bento. To cut the leaf, I placed the cover on top of the cabbage leaf and simply cut around the edges with a knife.
