Deconstructed Tuna Burger Bento

Hello people,

Long time no see !

I know I have gone MIA for a while but bento is like a healthy addiction and although there might be times that you don't feel like making them anymore, you know you'll always go back to it in the end. I am no exception to the rule, thankfully ... or unfortunately, that's for you to decided. :o)

Anyway, for lunch today I brought this bento to the office.  The box is new and I scored it for just 2 EUR.  I liked the fact that although it was still my favourite single tier set-up, it still allowed some clean separation of the different elements composing my lunch.

Creole Turkey Bento #1 - 06.04.2010

We just had a three day weekend (Easter Monday is a holiday in Belgium) that passed way too quickly, as usual. I sometimes think I wouldn't mind two day workweeks and 5 day weekends, but on the other hand, I guess you have to work for a longer time to really enjoy the time off :o) On the positive side, it will be weekend again in 4 days ... yay.

Today's bento is not sophisticated. I have been busy with creative things this whole weekend and didn't think about what I would pack for bento, until it was already quite late.

So my lunch is composed of white rice with some cheese decoration, creole turkey with baby mushrooms (leftover from diner), green beans and sugar snaps for that dash of colour. I used some slices of spinach savoury cake (which I found in the frozen bento stash) as a baran to separate the savoury from the sweet. The fruit section has my usual fruits : grapes, plums, nectarine, apple, strawberry, blueberries.

Same thing for P.'s bento, nothing to add.



And to end this post I just wanted to show off what I baked this weekend : oriental cupcakes. :o)

The cupcake has almonds in it (powder and pieces) and is flavoured with cinnamon and orange flower water. Because I didn't have any rose water left (it met an untimely end on the kitchen floor), I flavoured the white chocolate and cream frosting with orange flower water again and used food colouring in order to have it look orangy. I wanted it to be a rather funky orange but it ended up way more pastel, oh well. They were delicious and that's what counts in the end, right?
