Up Bento


Up Bento, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.
Can you see Carl Fredricksen and Russell? And their tomato balloons? I showed it to MisterMan and he said right away "Oooh, I know him -- he's the young Wilderness Explorer!" So I guess I did ok :) There's also some salmon, broccoli, lettuce baran, and carrot flowers. Underneath is also a layer of very cool rice: I made white + black quinoa and it came out pretty neat-looking. Fruit side includes cherries, white nectarine, homegrown apricot and blueberries.
Wonder what else I can do with quail eggs?
They've sure been a lot of fun to play with this summer!
Hmm...

  1. Darling! How do quail eggs compare to chicken eggs flavor wise?

  2. Thanks Shannon! I don't find much flavor in a quail egg, but maybe that's just me. You can easily influence the flavor during dyeing too :)

  3. Sheri, I love this bento design! Russell and Mr. Fredricksen are so cute, and the use of that cluster of tomatoes is awesome. I tried hard boiled quail eggs for the first time today in my bento. I love them!
