Bentolicious #042
I made a farmer couple, husband and wife for today's bento. This was a spontaneous idea when I was in the kitchen this morning. No planning from last night because I was in the bed early with my sore throat and headache. I felt a lot better after long undisturbed sleep. The farmer couple was made from fish balls, decorated with red-yellow bandana from the egg sheet, and nori for the face. I grew some veggie food picks on the rice furikake soil :)

Inside the box : pork slices with pineapple sauce, cherry tomato, carrots & cucumbers, oranges, and egg flowers. Extra pineapple sauce were in the green bird sauce cup.

I love your growing crops idea, it's so cute! I hope you get another long rest tonight, although your spontaneous work is still so artistic. You can make a lovely bento without any prep at all! So nice!

OMG Lia, This is adorable. The sliced pork and oranges are arranged in such a way that they look like crops in the fields just like in a painting! Genius!

Glad to hear that you feel a little better.

Mbak Liaaaa... You're back! Miss your adorable bentos so much :D.
