Om-rice and Full of Fall Flavors

Hey buddies! Wednesday! Yes, the middle of the work week. Yes, my bento photos have accumulated so I need to post them by now. I can't wait for the weekend already, I have nothing special for the weekend plan at this point though. Well today I don't have much time to babble on, but I'm going to write later about the movie that I mentioned earlier. Ah I'm going to Omatsuri (a shrine festival) with my family this afternoon. I go this event every year since I was a little and (adorable?) child. I like omatsuri so much that I'm excited now. If I can take some pictures then, I'd love to share them sometime.


Om-rice! My favorite! This time I put a soft omelet on chicken/ketchup rice. Very simple.
Omrice Bento


This one is inspired by one of Heather's bentos. I didn't have a purple sweet potato on hand though. Sweet potato and fall salmon are *fall flavors*.
Fall Flavor Bento
Sweet potato rice, teriyaki fall salmon fillets, mini edamame/potato pancakes and egg salad surrounded with cuke slices.

*babykins' potato pancake recipe*
A couple of peeled potatoes
A couple of teaspoons flour
About 1 tablespoon edamame or corn
A little salt
Grate the potatoes, then add the other ingredients, then cook it in a frying pan.


I bought a fresh bunch of salmon roes. And teared it apart then seasoned it with a little of salt and shoyu the night before. You can eat fresh ikura (salty salmon roes) only during this season. It is the very, typical-fall-flavor here, I think! Only, those of you who hate raw fish-egg-thing, I should say to you *I'm sorry* ;)
Ikura Bento
Teriyaki pork slices, tamagoyaki slices, corn/chikuwa salad, sauteed pumpkin slices, ikura and medium polished rice decorated with nori.
