San Francisco Giants Bento
Today in downtown San Francisco there was a big parade in celebration of the San Francisco Giants winning the 2010 World Series. I didn't really follow the team, but it was hard not to get caught up in the excitement. And since they hadn't won the World Series in over 50 years, it was a really big deal. So here is my SF Giants commemorative bento. It contains spinach ravioli, one of which is meant to suggest a baseball glove, and is holding a spherical "baseball" made of a hand-molded quail egg and purple carrot strips. I also made a cap from a halved hen's egg and cheddar cheese, covered in nori. The rest of the bento contains steamed broccoli, purple cauliflower, carrots, tomato, grapes and sliced persimmon. The orange flag picks are a gift from a bento pal and fellow SF Giants fan. I don't know if they were meant to be Giants pennants, but they did come in handy today!

ReplyDeleteRight ON! I am giggling at your baseball cap, since I tried to make cheese letters too, but opted for the intricate and nearly impossible Giants logo. Yeah, that didn't work. :) great job, love the suggested glove shapes. :)
ReplyDeleteA perfect bento for the awesome occasion!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! SO FUN! Congrats SF'rs.. great win! This is like, your Stanley Cup right? I was wondering what all the hoopla was about.. lol.
ReplyDeleteThat baseball cap is sooo adorable!
I was soo excited! Giants fan all the way. So sad though; here in Boston there was hardly any media or newspaper coverage of the world series. I guess that if it doesn't involve the Red Sox, no one here cares..
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, Sysyl, Angeleyes, karaimame, Emily!
ReplyDeletemegan, I thought of you at the moment of victory. A thrill for a lifetime! So cool we could experience it!
define1lady: So honored to receive this award from you. Thank you for thinking of me!
Sonoma Bento, Those letters are hard! Even the basic way I did it was WAY hard for me. Logos? forget it. Haha! but I hope the spirit come through!
Thanks Mommyof2girlz!
Chantale, HAH! Yes, World Series = Stanley Cup for your Canadians... Thanks!
Thanks Rachel! That is sad, but I heard the same about New York. If the Yankees aren't in it, it's not worth watching I guess!
