Bento 019

Yesterday I didnt have leftovers from dinner which resulted in a smaller bento. But it gave me the chance to try out my new strawberry bento box which can hold only a littlebit more then a kitty bento even though it had two tiers.

Bento 019

1) Oreo cookies in the lid
2) Octodogs for Mark (I wanted to try making those for ages but since I’m vegetarian I cant eat them)
3) Sesame sticks
4) Sweet potato croquets
5) Cherries
6) Strawberries (and some yellow cherry tomatoes and cheese cube)
7) Rosemary potatoes in sour cream

This is the first time Marks and mine bento differ so much. This is because Mark doesnt eat fruit!
