Effortless Bentos and Lake Outing

Hey buddies! How is it where you are? Still hot? or cold? I guess my summer is almost over, but it's NOT getting any cooler, so I've still eaten chocolate ice cream persistently and been dragging.  Also my effortless bentos still continue....haha. The first bento is Curry fried rice, the second is... what do you think it is?? If you guess what bento it is, I'll give you my special bento...hehe just joking! If I could do that for real, wouldn't it be so nice huh? Imagine that some food pops out from a blog. If blogs like that were anywhere, how fun!? But instead, it's so scary LOL! Well, the third is my favorite rice dish, Salmon/cuke chirashi. All of these bentos are super easy to make and pack, yey.

In the meantime, we went on an outing to the suburb this past weekend. It was not too hot, but pleasant weather there. I'll post the rest of the animal pics on the next post! Stay tuned.

  1. well I know what your second bento is, but only because I saw it on Flickr first ;) It looks SO YUMMY!! (But I really want the chirashi!) Love this post--so cute. Looks like a really fun and relaxing trip!

    (It cooled like 20 degrees F here overnight! It's only going to be 70F (about 20C) here today. Hot tea, here I come!)

    Ooowee! My flickr buddy! :D
    Thanks, I really felt relaxed and refreshed there.
    That much?! Don't catch a cold. Yep hot drink is necessary! It's somewhat cool here today. My friend staying in San Francisco told me that it's cold there too.

    Yea I think sushi rice and curry flavored dishes are appropriate for a hot day in particular.

    I think so, too! Perhaps the kitten made that bento, in fact! ^^

  12. I feel like I've been on vacation by looking at this post, Izumi! Love it all--sweet goat bros, pretty lake, and effortlessly elegant and fun bentos! Bento kitty thief stole my heart...can I have some chirashi, please?

    Oooh really? Maybe the hot/wet weather in there is similar to one in Japanese main land. I'm not sure if I can stand that weather, but still I wanna try living for a while in your country. :D

    Sure, let's have together this chirashi bento. Oops the kitty already finished it up lol!
    This location is really peaceful and healing, where there is a mini mini animal land nearby. :)
