Egg O'Lantern Bento
Egg-o-lantern today, dyed with beet and shoyu, and with a nori face, sits on greens next to grilled portobello (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and green onion). He also gets a piece of corn on the cob, a purple and pink carrot skewer, an orange cherry tomato, some pickled renkon (lotus root) and bittermelon, and sliced pluots. Are you feeling the Halloweeeeen yet?

Lovely....! I can sense the halloween is coming...
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the egg, super creative!
ReplyDeleteYes! It actually got down to 67 last night and there was a chill this morning when I went out to the driveway to get the paper. Next time I might have to put on some sweat pants! :D
ReplyDeleteI love just love your bento!! I love everything about it!
It's in the air! The chill, the dark skies, the Jack o bentos! :)
ReplyDeletePrecise nori cutting and another superb lunch!
You have tons of idea to make Jack, awesome! My kids will ask again why we didn't celebrate Halloween :p The only part from Halloween that they love is the idea to get a lot of candy and sweets hehehe ... (^.^)
ReplyDeleteLove your Egg O'Lantern! Cant wait for your next "O Latern" bento..")
ReplyDeleteCute egg! Halloween is coming....I have already seen so many Halloween Bentos. I think I have to make one too ;)
ReplyDeleteah!! I love your Jacks!! We don't celebrate Halloween either here :(.. at least not "officially". There are some costumes and decorations being sold but it is not "that" tradition, came only in later years.
ReplyDeleteAnd!! I swear I saw the AnpanMan in that corn cob! (total delirious ^_^)
Oh my gosh Sheri, your imagination knows no bound..This is fantastic! My girl is getting into Halloween spirit now, singing halloween songs she learns at school, making me draw ghosts and bats yesterday & she also saw your pumpkin bentos... I think I'm in trouble. lol!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your jack'o lanterns! They are so cute. You are definitely getting me in the Halloween mood!
ReplyDeleteyou never run out of jack ideas, it's amazing!! i love looking at your early-october bentos for inspiration. the portobello in this one looks particularly yummy, so prettily garnished with the green onion!
ReplyDeleteI had to stop by and see what an "Egg o' Lantern" was! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteEgg O'Lantern is very cute!!! I am also amazed that your kids love bittermelon.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute! I just posted my Bento "Lovable Lunches" from last week. They are so fun! Thanks for your inspiration too!

Oh dear, I love this egg O'Lantern! Can I borrow the idea when I'm going to make a Halloween theme bento? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, all bento friends! You always give me a smile to read your sweet comments!
ReplyDeleteMy kids' favorite part of Halloween is the dressing up. And the giving candy, hehe!
Karaimame, now that you mention it, I can see the Anpanman too!! You are so observant!
Just a MOM, the bittermelon is pickled in rice vinegar and sugar. You can add lotus root, cauliflower, mushroom, carrot, or whatever vegetable you desire. I also cut the bittermelon smallish to the bitter bite isn't too big. But the vinegar REALLY does cut the bitterness. You must try it. It's actually really good on a salad this way too!
KidsDreamWork, I look forward to your egg o'lantern!
