Bento # 19 : Mission to get Cinderella eat Strawberry

Cinderella hates fruits for these two months, I don't know why. She would rather let herself starving and refuse the fruit as snack and wait for her big meal to come. She used to love drinking her fruit smoothie but now she will shout," No Mammaaaa.... Nooo" everytime she sees me approaching her with the juice glass. I tried several method, changing the glass, bribing her with TV (which used to work wonders for months before), pretending to enjoy the drink soooo much to make her want it ("Mmm... juiceee.. yum yum.. This is Mommy's not yours....) None of them will work.
Today I tried to put the strawberries into bento, for hope that she will happily eat it. Notice the colourful toothpicks that I put on the strawberries on purpose. She looked interested at the first time. I felt the tense as she was putting it into her mouth.Would she love it? Would she eat the whole strawberries? She took a bite and then split it out. Then she pointed the rabbit ears and said ,"I want cheeeeseeeeee..." Arrrggghhh............. Mission failed.
In the bento : minced pork katsu, green beans, strawberries, broccoli, asparagus wrapped with ham
I include this bento for joining What's For Lunch Wednesday. This is my first time to join fellow bento makers. I am so excited. Check out her cool web http://bentolunch.blogspot.com

Bento # 05 : Bento Bunny - super lazy bento

I still feel extremely lazy after going from Bandung trip. I want to fix a bento for Cinderella without too much effort. In my fridge lied several store-bought meatballs that I could use. So I just throw the meatballs into frozen beef stock plus the veggie (cauliflower, mushroom,green beans, and carrot).
It really took me minimum effort to do this bento. I just had to cut ham into circle and ready shaped bunny ears. I also use the flower cutter for the carrot and mushroom. If you notice, the flowers on the left and right side of the bunny, you can see that the white one is actually the remaining mushroom that was cut in the middle. I slip the flower carrot in the middle of the mushroom. And viola, there you go... quite pretty compared to the usual bare flower carrot.
I also put fruity picks on top of the meatball and the flowers. This whole bento thing only took me 30 minutes from food preparation until done.
Oh yes, the bunny has no facial expression since I ran out of nori.
