Reindeer Pizza Bento


Reindeer Pizza Bento, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.
This bento almost did not get posted but I figured why not? Lots of my bentos look like this, especially on Mondays. Hastily thrown together and not very CUTE. Plus it was late and there was basically no light on this dark rainy day. Ugh. The upside is that it only took approximately 2 minutes to make it, most of it trying to get the sesame seeds to stay on. Briefly, this is TinySprite's bento and MisterMan's looks similar. I cut some leftover tomato - pepperoni - greens - mozzarella "pizza" to fit the box, and added a tiny piece with skewered pepperoni to look like a reindeer. You don't see it, you say? Well you wouldn't be the first. Neither kid saw it, and MisterMan actually asked if I'd made the Millenium Falcon. This shows you how desperate he was to give it a shot, any shot. I think he may even have been looking at it upside down at the time. WHATEVER. Other side has pomelo (or jabong, or giant Chinese green orange) and grapes. We were out much of this evening so there wasn't much time for bento. MisterMan received his next level belt at his class tonight, and we went out to celebrate ^_^

  4. Thanks a lot Lia! He finds so much satisfaction with completion of his levels; I'm so glad he can feel good about his accomplishments. I'm so proud he's growing up strong. (But so fast!)

    We're in sync with the reindeer, I love the way yours looks so perfect and mine is so um... abstract... hehe!

  6. Alright Debra!
    Yeah, pomelo! Only thing is the seeds. But they're pretty big so I think they'll be okay.
    Thanks!

  10. Awesome!! Congratulations to your little guy! Was he nervous? A-chan does Taekwondo. She never gets nervous but I get really nervous when she tests for belts and goes to tournaments!

    The reindeer antlers are great. I'm glad that you posted it :) Though I have to admit that I would LOVE to see a millenium falcon bento. (I just commented about Princess Leia on bentolicious - I truly am a star wars geek, lol)

  14. It's a very beautiful Millenium Falcon/Reindeer bento! :) And I love that you put pomelo in there. I have been a little worried about what to put in my bento fruit-wise during the cold months, and you have given me inspiration!
