I'm going to the premiere of the Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End tonight at midnight. A pirate themed bento seemed perfect for today. :)

Bottom tier: Cpt. Jack Sparrow shaped onigiri, surrounded by golden corn coins and some green pea emeralds. Sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Secured with shell and fish toothpicks.
Side: strawberries, pine apple candy and strawberry truffle marshmallow.

I have decided to experiment a bit and used polenta instead of rice for my onigiri molds. They were made in less than 5 minutes and turned out great, so I will be making more of these for sure. :)
Top tier: polenta bear, star and flower with steamed Brussels sprouts and carrots
Bottom tier: fat-free peach yogurt with peach slices
Side: ChocoRoll & Grape Jelly

2) heart, star, triangle, flower molds
3) bear chopsticks with case

I have found today a store where they're selling Hello Kitty items and I checked to see if they have any bento boxes. They had them, but only one kind. I decided to buy it.
When I came home, there was a package waiting for me with the notorious Lube Sheep Putifresh Bento. :)
So now I finally have some real bento boxes which I can use. Yay! :)

In this journal I will be posting my own bento lunches, along with pictures and ingredients.
I'm a beginner and I'm from a place where there aren't any Asian stores, so the ingredients won't be exactly traditional (and I'm still waiting for a real bento box to arrive).
I'm also a vegetarian, so there will be no meat in my bentos.
For a start I decided to post my first two bentos:
MY FIRST BENTO ever
- star and moon shaped toast
- pickled champignon mushrooms & star shaped slice of tomato on lettuce
- mixed veggies in spicy tomato sauce and flower shaped cucumber
- 2 plain onigiris (a tiny bit misshaped, but I guess not too bad for a first-timer) '_'
STAR BENTO (2nd bento ever made by me)
- base = cooked rice, mixed with cooked onions, zucchini, sweet corn, tomatoes and tomato sauce
- decorations = star shaped carrot, sliced pickled champignons, sweet corn, strips of pickled cucumber
Both were really yummy! :P
Can't wait to make another one.
