Bacon Rollups Bento
TinySprite's bento is a bit smaller than usual. Since school has restarted after the holiday break, she's been very excited to chat and play with her friends. Unfortunately this leaves little time to actually eat her lunch. Yesterday she had to bring almost the entire thing home to finish. Sigh. Normally this would not be a problem, but she has only a limited time to nap before we have to get her up in time to pick up her brother after school. When I woke her up she complained groggily "I want to sleep some MORE!" So today I've packed a smaller bento in hopes she finishes the whole thing, and then we can have a quick snack at home if she's still hungry. She gets bacon, mozzarella and peapods rolled up in corn tortillas. After frying the bacon, I tossed in some kabocha wedges to fry up in the drippings. Smelled good! In the remainder of the spaces I added a half clementine, carved carrot sticks and a bunch of cherries. Fingers crossed it goes down quick!

Hope TS will finish this yummy bento! She still a lot of things to catch up with her classmates after holiday. Be patient mom hehehe ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy. Especially the cherries. We only have them in the summer here. I can't wait till it is summer again!
ReplyDeleteThat's some clever strategising, though it amazes me that she'd choose friends and playing over the delicious lunches you always seem to serve her.
ReplyDeleteSo delightful! Tasty flavors and interesting contrasts in this lovely little bento and I'm always a fan of that Giotto-esque starry background :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Yenny, Lia, Uniflame, Oscar Devonian and Bentobird!
ReplyDeleteI think the smaller bento did the trick :)
