Bento Fun #171
I had wanted to make a lunch bento for Darrius yesterday as he told me he wanted to have his bento at home after he had the bear onigiri the other day. He finished everything in record time! It seemed that he eat much or way faster when he had bento than his regular bowl of rice! This is good news for me as I can save my breath for better use! Each meal time he drives me up the wall as I have to keep checking on him on his status… sometimes he takes more than 2 hours to finish that half bowl of rice! Gggrrrr!!!
Actually I was amazed that a small onigiri contained the same amount of rice I fed Darrius each time if not more. Since onigiri is rice being compacted into shapes, they appeared less. Guess this is a good trick to make kids eat more without realizing! 
Yesterday, the weather was amazing… cloudy and windy so after dropping Darrius off I brought Baby G to the wet market. After which I drifted to my regular baking supplies shop and visited the lady boss. Ended up I bought a whole bag of stuff! 
Found some cutters which I hope I can use soon when inpiration comes! 
Ok, back to bento. Since I lingered at the shop I did not have enough time to pack bento so I just gave him some rice with soup. I went out this morning so I did not cook either instead I bought something back and packed them into bento box for him.
Walked passed the bakery and saw some really fresh cheese sticks so bought some home. Then I walked passed the deli shop and saw some yakitori so bought some back as well. Enough goodies to be in the bento box! Added some Golden Globe grapes which I bought during the weekend and some cherry tomatoes as well. Easy job!
And it was another record time! He finished in less than 30 mins and asked for extra cheese stick too! Gave him the remaining and he gobbled that down with a bottle of Vitagen (yogurt drink). Looks like, lunch bento is in and snack bento for school will have to be shelved!
If time permits, there might be a dinner bento tonight!

Can I go shopping with you? hahaha … I agree with you about the onigiri. It looks small but actually a lot
Kids don’t realize it. I like your silicone baran in this bento.
