Hillbilly Bento

Okay folks, this is what newbie kiddie bento looks like in my house when everyone is sick, the family has just returned from a two-week vacation, and Mama hasn't been able to get to the grocery store yet. Gawk at your own risk!

I made this for my sick hubby. What else could I call it besides, "Hillbilly Bento" when I realized I was filling it with fried egg sandwich hearts with mayo and a heaping serving of Batman spagettios? Am I a hillbilly because I don't know how to spell spaghettios? lol Also included are the ever-elegant Flavor Blasted Goldfish crackers, freshly sauteed broc that somehow survived two weeks in a sealed fridge package (kinda scary if you ask me), and canned organic apricot halves.

My son's bento included a rolled slice of meunster cheese. He wasn't happy with his bento today - frankly he was insulted, he informed me, because he knew it was a baby bento box in disguise and incomparable to the Pokemon box. The discriminating taste of a seven year old....

Baby bento - fried egg yolk heartwich on wheat, teeny cup of spaghettios, organic apricot bits with puppy dog spear, baby sized broc and Gerbers sweet potato puffs (the only acceptable flavor). About half was consumed and the rest, worn, of course. ;)

Had to share one of our new adorable itty bitty forklettes. They are pure choking hazards so I keep them far from the baby, but today I thought they might cheer up a feverish hubbyman when he saw one hanging out on his favorite veggies. It kinda worked. lol
