The lighting on his is better )

It was so hot today we just couldn't eat anything hot.
I normally like to use my Nokorimono desu ga bento box for this because it's not microwave safe and this meal doesn't need microwave, but I remembered I never finish the meal because it's too big. So I thought I'd give my soup bento bowl another day in the spotlight (even though it's microwave safe) ^_^

3xS and some fruits



Smoked salmon soba, strawberries and fuji apple slices. I forgot to include the salad dressing bottle filled with balsamic vinegar in the picture. In the carrot spreaders is peanutty chocolate spread, recipe below.

*edit*
Not pictured:
I made a bento for him (looks just like mine, but without the carrots) and put the marble cake he brought home for me in my penguin mini bento.

Peanutty Chocolate Spread )

For the peanut spread, I did not use the plain yogurt because I could not find plain soy yogurt and I can't eat regular yogurt. It still tastes good; I imagine it's just not the same consistency as the recipe.
