Ham Sandwich & Tattooed Apples Bento
Sammie love! I love sandwiches. Making them. Eating them. Sticking them in a panini press and watching them die a slow, pain—oops. Sorry about that. While sticking a ham sandwich in a panini press sounds like a good idea, a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes isn’t, so I opted for an ordinary unpressed one instead, even if my panini press’s dying for some action. Fret not, Mr. Panini Press, I shall use you this weekend.
For now though, I have a nice, fresh sandwich and fruit on the side. Very healthy, especially if you manage to skip looking at the yummy, fried korokke in between. 
Contents:
• Ham sandwich. Ham, iceberg lettuce, plum tomatoes, and cheese on ciabatta dressed with Kewpie mayonnaise. This is actually just half a sandwich because I noticed my mom poking around when I was assembling my sandwich so I gamely offered her half. My sandwich half was sliced again then laid on its side, bento-style. For some reason, Japanese housewives position sandwiches in bento this way. At first, I thought it was merely aesthetic. But when the time came to eat, I realized it does have some merit to it, because the sandwich was more manageable to eat. Also, it didn’t become soggy despite my addition of unseeded tomatoes, thanks to the juice dripping to the bottom of the box, instead of the lower bread slice.
• Cream Korokke. Still the store-bought frozen kind. I hope I find time to make home-made cream korokke soon. The little tub in front has kewpie mayonnaise.
• Fuji Apple slices, resting on a tub of 
I made a mini-bento for my mom as well. It contained half my sandwich, plus a couple of cream korokke and some kewpie mayonnaise.

hi chrissie! last weel pa ko nagsimulang mag visit sa food blog mo…at talaga namang nakakatuwa ang posts mo…picture pa lang busog na ko…hehehe…
Hahaha, when I saw my real name, I knew it had to be someone I know from real life so I checked the admin panel at once…
JUNE!!! *hugs hugs hugs* How are you? Miss you muchies. Sige, I’ll make time and write you a long email later, heehee.
Are the Korokke/Croquettes good to eat cold then? May be tempted to make some/buy some if so!
And the food all looks lovely
Panini O_o the most memorable baon that I had at school. It’s the first baon my mom made me on my first day in Prep school. It made such an impression because… we’ll here was the scenario XD
Mom: Good Luck on your first day at school! I made you a BLT Panini Sandwich.
—during recess—
Classmate: What are you eating?
Me: Mom called it a Funny Sandwich. XD

I think it’s going to be a matter of preference. I still like korokke best when it’s warm since it’s nice and crispy. It tends to get soggy when packed in a bento, but the nice thing about cream korokke is it’s so creamy, it’s like biting into a mashed potato in finger food form. It doesn’t get as soggy if you let it cool before packing (less condensation, I guess) but it’s not quite the same. Still, with the amount of Japanese prepared bentos I see online that has korokke, I think it’s safe to say that the slight sogginess is acceptable.

It’s not just Panny, it’s extra panny by virtue of the other Ni
that’s a pretty nice bento! wonder where you got your bento box, as well as the container for the nutella? i’m still at this stage where i buy almost any bento style box that i liked when i see.
seeing that picture of the cream korokke reminds me that i need to visit haatchin soon.
All boxes featured today are from Daiso 88 Peso Store / Japan Home Center
Well, except the Hello Kitty Sauce cups, I had to buy that off ebay.ph but the Marie box, the sandwich box (it’s really identified as a sandwich bento box 
) and the Polka-dot sauce boxes are all from Daiso at ATC.
And I can relate with the mad-mad bento box shopping. I think I bought 19 before I stopped. And even after that, I still picked up a couple but at least I had some sort of self-control after the 19th
Oh this bento is very wonderful! the apple is very pretty I think I have seen them before but did not know what the carving was for. I miss croquettes =( maybe I should buy some later today =) lol and the sandwhich looks filling even though its only half of a half! the ham is so thick! lol=D
Cant wait to bento again soon I hope!
Thankies much
The apple isn’t a carving actually, it’s just a light treatment that changed parts of the apple’s skin color. It’s pretty flat.
The ham, I sliced myself from a largish block so I was able to slice it thick
Tastier that way 
And I do hope you get back to bentoing. I miss looking at your yummy looking ones 
It looks great! As usual. Why am I not surprised?
Thanks Toni
Must warn you though, continual support & praise inflates my ego, which can eventually transform me into bento monster. *rawr*

[...] Free 50 cent back tattoo pictures and images qxqer1z Selecting and acquiring the ideal fishing boat is a real art for someone who has already gone through many experiences as far as boating is concerned. However, it can be a daunting task to those who have not yet experienced buying a fishing boat.To make the activity easier for the first timers, here is a list of tips that they can use when choosing an ideal fishing boat.1. It is important to consider the purpose of the fishing boat.Buying a fishing boat has only one purpose: to be used in fishing. However, before choosing the perfect fishing boat, it is important to consider also the other purposes.First, the place where the fishing boat will be used should be taken into account. Will it be in the ocean or in other bodies of water like lakes?Second, the time of the day it will be used. Will it be for day trips or for overnight fishing activities?If the fishing boat will be used for ocean cruising and overnight stays, it would be better to buy a fishing boat that has a hull. This is specifically designed for rough waters. This design is meant to ride with the waves, hence, providing more comfort to anglers while on board.2. The budgetWhen buying a fishing boat, it is important to know if the buyer can afford to acquire a boat. Fishing boats, or any boat for that matter, can be very expensive. Hence, the buyer should know how far his budget would go as far as fishing boat prices are concerned.3. The warrantiesIt is extremely important to know if the fishing boat has a warranty. It should be analyzed and meticulously scrutinized because not all warranties are created equal.Hence, it is best to buy a fishing boat from dealers that will provide the necessary services in case their product is found to be defective.4. The certificationWhen buying a fishing boat, it is important to take note if it is certified by the “National Marine Manufacturers Association” or the NMMA. This agency guarantees that the certification they give to every boat manufacturer is a guarantee that the fishing boat had passed the agency’s standard of excellence.The bottom line is that, people should do more than just look around when choosing the ideal fishing boat. They should learn how to look for the important details in order to ensure that the boat they have acquired is definitely worth their money.FishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishingFishing Posted by raicha at 11:54 [...]
