So, tell me, do you all prefer the larger pictures I have been using the last couple days, or do you prefer it smaller? Not that it will necessarily change my mind - lol
This was a fairly quick bento, but I felt like doing a little more to it, so I did the grape tomato roses on his usual salad, with a car shaped egg this time and the usual ham, turkey and swiss pinwheels and a few carrot flowers.
The other tier contains the last of the chipotle macaroni salad and is topped with cucumber, carrot and grape tomato flowers, hummus w/ some black sesame seeds - I tried using a small flower cutter as a stencil, but it just looks like a circle. Then he has a couple strawberries cut up and topped w/ an extra carrot flower.
We both took the day off tomorrow as we have a friend visiting from California, so there will likely not be a post tomorrow. How often do you get to know that in advance!? lol
Don't forget to enter my theme bento contest!
It must be the time for giveaways and contests; If you haven't noticed it yet, I added a little list for other contests, challenges and giveaways on the side bar :)

ReplyDeleteAsfora, this bento was pretty easy - I will try to find the tutorial that got me started doing the roses - it's been a while, but I think I remember who did it :)
