#74 - Hearts and flowers bento

This might be the last bento for a while. When my BF came home yesterday, he said he lost his job. But I already made his bento, so wanted to post this anyway. I might be stubborn and just make bento at home. But I am not sure yet what I will do. Anyway, back to the original post.

Since it is almost Valentines day and I didn't make any Valentines bento yet, I tried to make one. I didn't have a plan, so I had to make due with what I got. It turned out as a crossover Valentines X Spring bento. But that's okay.

In the bento are four heart shaped sandwiches with strawberry jam and mascarpone cheese, with bunny picks and some frozen cherries in a heart cup. There are Sakura cucumbers (because my heart cutter was too large for the cucumber), risotto balls and heart shaped sausages. They are stuck together with a toothpick on the inside, since I don't have any small heart picks, only long picks.

Please visit the weekend cooking post to see what more has been cooked up this weekend!

    Your bento look very springy. Sorry about BF's job-hopefully something more right comes along.

    So sorry about BF's job. I first heard of bento after my husband and I were working from home and I have never made one because it's hard to get motivated when it won't leave the house. But you're so good at it!

    Thanks for all the sweet comments :) I have decided what I am going to do with this blog for the time being, not going to stop :)

    @Joy: I can see where you are coming from. I do think that your husband would be pleasantly surprised though :)

    Just gorgeous. I love my Mr. Bento, but am not as creative as I should! I'm glad I found this blog today, and am happy you'll be continuing!

    So sorry to hear Nick lost his job! Sounds like it came totally unexpected? Of course you can continue to make bentos at home -- for yourself as well as to put a smile on BF's face. ;)

    Happy Valentines Day! You can now spend it together?!
