More Lunch

[dreamshark]

They're getting kind of repetitive now, so I'm not posting pictures of every lunch. But these two came out kind of elegant, so I thought I'd post them. The pork bun turned out to be a good match with the hard-boiled egg. It's delicious, but a lot of bun compared to the small amount of stuffing. However, the extra bun went really well with the egg. And the sweet sauce did taste good with it.

Bento #60a - Pork Bun Love - (April 29, 2010) I wonder how a steamed pork bun would taste with sweet duck sauce? If that doesn't work, I've always got the little applehead full of soy sauce. Heart-shaped egg, carrot sticks and olives on the side.

Bento #61 - Pesto Penguin (Apr 30, 2010) Stuffed mushrooms on bed of cottage cheese, broiled salmon, strawberries. In the other tier, tomatoes layered with mozzarella cheese, avocado and sweet pickled ginger. And, of course, pesto in the penguin. Because mozzarella cheese medallions, pretty as they are, don't really have any flavor. Penguin had to be packed separately, as it turned out to be too tall for the tier. Oh well.It also leaked a little olive oil, although the pesto itself was just the right consistency to spoon out with the little built-in spoon.

Duck sauce should have worked out just fine. Pork buns are frequently a little sweet. The recipe I follow has some sugar in the dough, and since I usually make it BBQ pork, there's sweetness there, too. Hmm, I should use up the batch I have in the freezer and make buns.
Ahh, Sharon, you are an artist. Very nice. And inspiring.
