Yesterday’s bento did not qualify as this year’s first as the Missus refused to let me take a picture of the sandwich she had made!
Today, she came back with a vengeance, concocting a lunch fit for a man’s (or big teenager’s) solid appetite!
She also used a wooden box with a bamboo “curtain” lid for the “maki”/rolls.
I can already hear Rick moaning at the look of those rolls! LOL
The rolls were wrapped in lettuce instead of “nori”/dry seaweed.
The “shari”/sushi rice was mixed with “tobikko”/flying fish roe.
The filling consisted of smoked slamon and Japanese processed cheese with capers for decoration. These rolls were definitely American-sized!
As for the accompaniment the Missus worked hard (she actually threw me out of the kitchen!):
Boiled egg seasoned by leaving it overnight in the coca cola sauce of simmered pork she had made the day before, boiled Brussels sprouts, black olives, cornichons, carrot sticks, chickory/endive leaves, celery sticks (with leaves), Ameera Rubbins tomatoes (as sweet as strawberries!), and mayonnaise/black olives dip.
For dessert, winter mandarine (“mikan”) from her family’s garden!
Pretty full for the whole day, I can guarantee you!
That sure looks like a yummy lunch. I have committed to making more bento for the new year. Especially for my kids!
I love the bamboo bento box! What a creative way to make sushi with lettuce. Very healthy indeed!
Do you eat this healthy always??
Dear Kamakshi!
Greetings again!
Yes, i do eat very healthy food, whatever it is!
That is why I’m still comparatively healthy and active at my age! LOL
Cheers,

I don’t know why you eat out!
You are spoiled to have such a cook as your wife! I love the idea of using the lettuce leaves instead of the nori.
That’s quite a lunch right there. Makes my slice of pizza pale in comparison. Heh.
Dear Nic, Bob, Joie de Vivre and Lojol!
Greetings and thank you so much for you comments!
Nic, you’d get arrested for intriducing good food!
Bob, I’ll put up a pizza recipe one day!
Joie de Vivre, lettuce are probably best! I’m not that spoiled as I cook, too! LOL
Lojol, I eat out to escape from the Missus’ wiles!
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
Ben mon ami!
That looks rather wonderful 🙂 Would it ship well to New Zealand you think? Never mind, I think that the customs people would have a fit 😉
