Can it be yet another chicken and egg bento?! Well, in my defense, I have seen several chicken and egg bento recently, on various blogs around here...so maybe the idea just sank in, or I thought it was an idea we were passing along? Oh all right! We just like chicken! And the little quail eggs are just so cute; I can't stop using them. I just learned you can hand-shape quail eggs into a round shape, so what do you think I did today? It worked, and it doesn't take that long, either. Just a minute or two. Today's egg was so small that when I made it into a sphere I thought it looked just like a little pearl. I put it between the chicken pieces like a ... pearl in a shell. But if you don't buy that, let's just put a face on it and call it a cute egg character. I also added some sweet corn with edamame detail and my standard carrot flowers. Fruit cups hold strawberry, cherries and grapes.
And by the way, Sonoma Bento has uploaded the bento interview we did on Monday. If you'd like to listen, it's at her blog HERE. Thanks Michelle!

Sheri! I've been MIA from the bento blog world, but trying to jump back in. A belated congrats on your recent interveiw, how exciting. Also, I loved your previous Totorro bento, one of my all-time favorite studio ghibli characters. Today I like your pearl in a shell. Well, goodnight! : )
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel!

The pearl with such a cute big eyes! I like the corn and edamame too, so pretty Sheri. Have to try molding the egg round with hand too next time (^.^)
