Bento (60) - Blackberries and Vinegar

Okay - not really. But I did have a bento disaster today, when one of my blackberries plunged off my fork and landed dead-center in my triangle sauce holder - filled with walnut/basalmic vinegar salad dressing. That was an interesting flavor combination - boy howdy.

I think the kung pao chicken in the bottom tier needed a food pick for added cuteness, but other than that, I was very pleased with this bento. The top level is blackberry/swiss cheese flowers and a salad which consisted of a green lettuce divider, three tomatos, and carrot sticks. I'm still working out the best way to cut carrot sticks. The green triangle held the above-mentioned salad dressing. And just in case you were ever curious - it would hold one blackberry quite neatly.

T.'s bento was almost identical . . . minus the tomatos, since T. HATES tomatos. I couldn't even "contaminate" his top level with a whole tomato for color. :P :P :P

When I picked him up from school, Goose informed me he ate the chicken and the blackberries. But not the carrots. Because he HATES carrots. I said "That's why mommy gave you ranch to dip the carrots in." To which he replied "I didn't want the carrots OR THE RANCH!" Well then. Silly mommy.
