Purple Flowers Bento

Another pair of bento today again: shoyu chicken for both kids - with assorted corn, Okinawan sweet potato, carrots and fruit. I carved flower shapes out of purple carrots in MisterMan's bento; aren't they pretty? He also gets the dark red (almost black) plums that are loaded with juice and super sweet; I think they're called Flavor Rosa. I can't give them to TinySprite or I'll see evidence of them all down the front of her shirt. Instead she gets cherries, which she can eat pretty neatly. They also both get a grape tomato.
Unfortunately, she didn't eat much of this bento; most of the chicken came home. When dinnertime rolled around, she was starving! I'm really hoping she'll get into the practice of actually eating lunch soon. I think she's excited with the new schedule and friends; she'll probably settle down into the routine in the coming weeks. We'll see! ^_^

    I love summer berries too! Can't get enough. The purple berry? It's blackberry, and there's also dark red plum. Both are super sweet.

  7. It's not easy getting rare colored veggies (like purple carrots & sweet potatoes) here in SG and my girls seldom like fruits to be included in their bentos, so I always envy your colorful bentos. :D
