Turkey Croquette Bento
If you haven’t entered my drawing for the Zojirushi Mr. Bento thermal lunch jar yet, you still have lots of time!
Here’s the bento I had today, but forgot at home! I used a bamboo steamer I bought from J-List. It’s technically not a bento box, but when you’re as bento nuts as me, you really don’t care.
Since the bottom has strips of open space, I lined the bottom with some foil and then with saran wrap. I have in here one turkey croquette cut in half with a small amount of rice.In the middle are three green beans and five slices of tamagoyaki rolled with nori. Next to that are three sakura carrot flowers. For fruits I added half a strawberry and one cherry.
My weight this morning was 144.7, so I’m down about a pound 5 days in. Despite our evil conference table of sugary sin at the office, I’ve managed to lose some weight. Yay!
Speaking of work, here’s a random bull pinata for you. He stormed into our potluck yesterday and we bashed him up until he gave up the goods. It’s great being kids at work!

My name is Crystal Watanabe and I'm 32 years old, living in Honolulu, Hawaii with my husband and two children. I have an addictive personality and that's a terrible thing when you're into cute bentos. I own over 200 bento boxes and way too many bento accessories!. 
I like the bamboo steamer idea! I may have to steal that one day. I picked up a little steamer a few months ago, but it’s really much too small to make a meal in. Maybe it will be better used as a bento box and I have an excuse to buy a bigger one.

That’s funny. My hubby forgot his Bento yesterday (Friday) too. First time since I started making them for him. No worries, I made him eat it for dinner!

Cuuute. Even without the little nori punches and the little child cutouts, you can make food look cute!
I wish I could, but my bentos usually end up looking like.. a pile of stuff. :p
