Adventures in Bentomaking: Bento Lunches by Pikko

Since today is Superbowl Sunday, it’s too late for people to make these for a party today, but there’s still football potlucks and tailgating later this year that this can be used for, so I figured I might as well do a tutorial for people. I got an email from someone here on Oahu wanting me to make them a tray of 15 Colt musubis and 5 Saints musubis, but since this is basically impossible without 40 hands, I compromised with 40 musubis including one each of the team ones.

As usual, what could go wrong did go wrong. The brand new bag of rice I bought at Don Quijote had weevils or something in it. I washed 5 cups and tons of black stuff floated to the top. I was livid and had to go out to Foodland at 7 am to buy a new bag. Then later, I ran out of furikake and somehow in the dozen bottles I had stashed at home, I didn’t have any Katsuo Mirin. I ended up delivering them 40 minutes late. *sigh*

My pictures of the tray were really rushed, so they’re blurry and the color looks terrible. Since the pictures look so bad, I’ll just focus on the tutorial. I’ll show you how to make one of these without needing a mold. I don’t know if any exist, anyway.
