Ook in week 34 kregen we weer een fijne tas van De Aardvlo!
Maïs behoort tot mijn favoriete groenten — ik zou wel iedere dag een maïskolf lusten maar dat is niet zo goed voor me ;) En ook courgette staat hoog in de top 10; wisten jullie dat ik die groente pas heeeeeeel laat heb ontdekt, in 1990 of zo?!
Biologische prei smaakt geweldig, veel beter dan die van de Appie (oooooh daar komt weer een preek van mijn broer ;) en die fris en fruitige zomerappeltjes komen ook als geroepen!
Tel daarbij de spekbonen en romainesla op en je weet: dit is een superweek! :))
Oops, it took me a whole week to post about bento #52! It came to work on Wednesday May 20th — and it’s been my last bento up until today. I was too busy! And I don’t have to go to the office for a while now, so bento’s will be sparse in the next few weeks.
In the picture my lunch looks quite cute — but don’t be fooled! The hint is a packet of Smint…
The red stuff you see in the left hand tier is Mediterranean bean paste, which erm.. had a bit too much garlic in it :-o I don’t like tasting garlic all day, so I came prepared.
Here’s another one of Gnoe’s tips: natural & healthy remedies against garlic smell (and taste) are drinking milk, eating an apple and – last but certainly not least — chewing on a bunch of parsley. That’s after you’ve eaten garlic, not before ;) In my experience these solutions work best if you don’t apply them immediately, but after you’ve brushed your teeth without result.
Well, my apple is not in the picture but it did come along. And in the photo you can also see some fresh parsley (not enough though, LOL) — and the before mentioned package sugar free Smint for emergencies ;)
What else could be found in bento #52?
- red leaf salad (hiding)
- 3 conchiglioni (pasta seashells) with herbs, slightly greased with olive oil so they wouldn’t stick together
- black olives
- slices of orange sweet bite
- capers, small & large
- yellow cherry tomatoes
- parsley (like I said)
- yogurt coated apricot
- roasted sunflower seeds as topping for:
- leek salad (leeks marinated in a basil-garlic dressing)
- Mediterranean bean paste made of white beans, tomato, red bell pepper (paprika), onion, olive oil and oven-roasted garlic (to eat with the pasta)
- grated cheese for the conchiglioni
- pistachios and cashews
- cranberries
Both the leek salad and the bean paste were easy to make. But… the bean spread was best on the day it was prepared. Next day it had gotten a bit ‘watery’ and needed the salty & sour addition of capers and olives.
So, bento #52 was like a wolf in sheep’s clothes: looking cute, but with a sharp bite! Well, I got a lot of work done that day with few colleagues disturbing me ;) Which is good — is it? It was really my day off… :\
Aangestoken door Bento-Babe nam ik op de Dag van de Arbeid zomaar opeens weer een echte bento mee naar werk! Het was even puzzelen, maar volgens mij is het nummero 46. Mooi om op 1 mei een ‘new beginnings’ bento mee te nemen ;)
Edit: zie de comments voor de inhoud :))
Ervan uitgaande dat er wel vaker iets zal mislukken heb ik deze post maar meteen een volgnummer gegeven ;)
Letterlijk opgevat horen mijn appel-bastognesouffleetjes eigenlijk niet thuis onder een titel als mis-baksel. Ze waren namelijk wel gelukt, maar gewoon helemaal niet lekker :( Van Dale’s definitie “iets dat verkeerd is uitgevallen” vat ik hier maar ruim op als ‘niet naar wens uitgepakt’.
Appel-bastognesouffleetjes voor en na de oven
Het leek zo leuk want ik had biologische bastognekoeken over, een eiwit en goudreinetten die op moesten. Maar uiteindelijk smaakte dit toetje naar warme natte bruine boterhammen met appelmoes. Of zo. En ja, ze waren heus gaar :) Geen dessert om te onthouden dus.
OMG I have this big bento backlog again! Of course our computer broke down (I won’t tell you about the terrible service Apple gave us), but that’s not really an excuse is it?
Well, I’ll start off with bento #36: my Royal bento!
You might wonder why this bento is called ‘royal’ since it’s not particularly rich, nor are there any crown jewels on view. But it does contain a lot of orange stuff and Oranje (= orange) is our royal family’s family name ;)
Maybe you’ll also notice that this bento is quite low on carbs. That’s because I also brought two sandwiches. And since I always do that I will have to try to keep my bento’s this way. But it’s not easy!
What Friday 23th November’s bento contained…
- Nigella’s sticky chocolate pudding! (yummy! GREAT recipe!)
- cherry tomatoes
- radishes
- chives
- star cress
- pumpkin cheese stars
- cucumber stars and leftover pieces
- water cress
- black olives in half an orange sweet bite
- dressing and humus in containers
- almost hiding is a laughing cow cheese wedge
- completely hiding is an (orange ;) carrot
- apple on the side
If the pudding hadn’t been there I could have said this was a very healthy bento ;)
No need to tell you I really enjoyed it :))

There are no December bento’s yet… Next one will be #40!
No picture of bento 28 but a nice picture of grapes that we took with our new camera on our holiday in Cappadocia (Turkey). You see, our old photo camera broke just two days before our vacation! I discovered that while making photos of bento #28, the last bento I took to work.
Of course this bento contained some green grapes. Along side iceberg salad, wild tomatoes, cream cheese with herbs (Boursin), small crackers, green olives, some carrot, Italian nibbles (Genoa’s) and a vegetarian sausage. On the side I took an apple and some forest fruit yoghurt.
Tomorrow’s bento lunch will consist of:
- pasta salad (made of tonight’s pasta leftover)
- green salad with red onion, pine nuts and blue cheese dressing
- small piece of italian cracker and fennel cracker
- marinated chestnut mushroom
- some radishes and a carrot
- an apple (on the side)
- kitkat mini
It’s the first bento I am going to take to work… I didn’t think I would ever dare do that and now I am already bringing the second bento I make! (Not counting exercise bento #0 ;)
Let’s hope I don’t forget to make a picture before leaving because I’ll probably be sleepy ;)
