This is the second bento I ever made, and I look at it in horror now. The biggest mistake I made here is the pudding in the uncovered cup. When I made this for Ms. Little Bubbles, she was young, and thus the small amount of food. But still, there is little substance and it just looks a bit unbalanced to me. I think I just had my Little Sweet Pea, and I’m sure I was a bit tired when I made this. Or at least that’s the story I’m sticking too. However, there is an important lesson to be learned from my mistake, don’t include a pudding or a liquid type of food within your bento without a lid. It could have spilled, contaminated other food and just made a big mess of things.
Contents: Imitation crab sticks (it was her favorite at the time), small hot dogs, edamame, strawberries and pudding
I think it looks great, especially for a 2nd bento, and you should be proud! I keep my early ones on my Flickr photostream to see how far I’ve come.
Thanks Sheri. Isn’t it funny when you look back at what we first did. 🙂 My how are styles have changed. I’m sure they will continue to change over time too. BTW, you were a huge inspiration for me when I was first learning! 🙂
