I was a FOOL to attempt it!
Please, do NOT attempt this at home!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

*takes a long, deep breath*  Oh, the stress of prescision nori placement.  Tomorrow may well just be a pot noodle and a bag of crisps!  (Well, not really, but yeesh, that took effort.)

But enough of that - I give you - Annette the Cow!
  • Rice with furikake, boiled egg yolk sun with carrot sunbeams, nori hills and luscious green chive grass.
  • Boiled egg white and potato paper cow (Annette), with nori markings, chewing on some more nori grass.  Note to others - egg INSTANTLY disintigrates potato paper.  Do not attempt unless you enjoy tearing hair out!  *sighs*  (Still, dang cute - I mean, how could I hate a face like that, eh?)
  • Carrot and cucumber slices.
  • Some of that red lettuce-stuff - I got a bag of salad and I liked the look of the red leaves.  That's mushroom chunks there in it, the white blocks.
  • Organic cheese twigs with stupidly pretty baby tomato wedges and chive sprinkles.  Honestly, my mum would faint if she saw me being this healthy!  Please, no-one tell her!  I'd never live it down.
And, much to my shame, I will be 'cheating' on this bento (no - not like that!).  I took so much space with the cow scene, and didn't notice what I was doing with the pretty veg layer, that I completely forgot to add some of the bento contents!  So, in another container I will have:
  • The remains of the egg.  It's just not designed for craftwork, eggs.  I mean really - you'd have thought the chickens would have thought of that and started laying nice cubic ones for me...
  • Lemon-pepper quorn chunks.  Quorn is a UK based pretend-meat.  Made from mushroom protien, Quorn is ace stuff - but I've not tried the ready-to-eat lemon-pepper chunks before, they're chicken style.
  • More mushroom!  I only used a little bit and well... Ok, I admit it - I have a mushroom addiction.  They're just so soft and savoury and weird and, well you get the idea.  Gotta eat em all!
  • A couple more tomatoes.
That should do me!  Whew.  I'd like to dedicate (blame? ;)) this bento on Kaoko_cow.  The inspiration is plain :)

So sorry, no picture! It sounds like a masterpiece, though. It should have been quite filling, too.

No picture? You mean you can't see the picture, because it seems to be working at this end. If it's still not working for you, you could try:

Sorry if it's hiding :(

No picture -- not even the "broken link" icon. But the URL works ... and that's MAGNIFICENT! Just simply spectacular. If I opened a bento box and found that scene I'm not sure I'd have the heart to eat it! Since it was a nightmare for you, maybe eating it was just revenge?

And (to your chagrin, I'm sure) the thing I like the best is the stacked discs of carrot and cucumber! What a brilliant and clever idea.

It's odd. My other access to your bento blog is from a Linux (Mozilla Firefox v1.5) laptop. From here, it works just fine: the picture shows, and all is right with the world. In fact, I love to see it again and again (as your access log must show!).

I'm growing simply to love that chive fence and that lovely, contented cow muching her nori grass. This one has set the bar. There's no need to try to out-do this bento for quite some time. (You've suffered enough! :wink:)

Kudos to you for outdoing yourself. I'm totally in love with this bento. Did you enjoy eating it?!

Much to my own confusion/amusement, I found the cow so cute that I had to look away as I ate it/her. I've never felt so guilty eating lunch before! Ridiculous really :)
Unlike the Pacman lunch, where I took particular glee in eating that carroty-pacman and his nemesis, the ghost.
Glad to know you liked it though! :)

I notice that you've taken a day off -- was it pot noodle and crisps?!? Or did you just stay in bed and dream about pizza? :wiggle:

Just think: after Michelangelo finsished the Cistine Chapel -- what did he have to eat? You ate your cow scene ... and he had -- what?!

POT NOODLE AND CRISPS!

Go for it, Girl!

Well, I had a day off work so I had the rather odd combination of mexican dips, egg fried rice and prawn crackers for lunch. There won't be one today either, I'm afraid (I stayed up too late watching Atlantis: Lost Empire).
But there should be one tonight-tomorrow.
