Bento Corner

Lamb bento made of chow mein with croquette and fruit.

We had chicken chow mein last night so used that and added a ham face and legs to make a lamb. The face is made of nori. The sesame croquette is from the frozen section of the Japanese market. Oranges and kiwi fruit for dessert.

Just wanted to post this picture to show that my son does smile once in a while...

Ham and cheese heart sandwich and jam and butter star sandwich.

I usually use jam and cream cheese, but didn't have it on hand, so opted for the butter instead. The tiny stars across the top of the star is supposed to be a ribbon. Bento also includes a deviled egg with cucumber and mayonnaise and mandarin oranges for dessert.
