Bentolicious #223
My plan was to dig some bento ideas for the Halloween theme. But I think, the weekend was too relaxing that I got carry away and forgot about the plan. I join the others bento moms and bento makers to put on the Halloween theme for my kids' bento. And I hope you can join the fun too to create your own Halloween bento. Kids haven't said anything about bringing something or to do something for the Halloween with their friends. I hope they don't say that they want to make and decorate cookies again. As much as I want to do it and that lately, I become a bit pessimist. I need to motivate myself and have to keep telling myself that I have time to do something that I love for myself. Some of you probably have similar problems as mine. We just do and do everything around the house and for our family then we forgot to do something for ourselves. Anyway ... I wish all of you have a great week! Stay healthy all! Inside the box : rice, asparagus wrapped in thin slice of beef with teriyaki sauce, tamagoyaki, and vegetable stew (potato, carrot, green bean) with spices and coconut milk.
