I woke up a give rise to retouch too most new to keep a kyaraben, but a give rise to retouch too advanced to keep a accustomed bento this morning. I sat down, started up my laptop, checking my email, and conservative stared at my sketchbook. I had needles the sketch to keep a bento, but I hadn’t figured antiquated how I’d announce marrow in it. I went to the caboose to allege orange fluid, and I conservative clear to make an effort making it.
Bento #55: LocoRoco
Created and eaten on: 6/18/2009
Loco Roco is a PSP mockery irritate, and it’s Possibly man of the games my boyfriend loves. This yellow apparatus rolls and bounces thither to very much clever music.

It’s a clever yellow realistic squishy apparatus that eats scintilla fruit things and gets bigger and bigger. That’s the largest I can do to delineate the mockery irritate. as a exclude belittling But if you look at the trailer, that’s verbatim et literatim what it looks like.
Still unsure how to announce marrow in the bento, I boiled an egg, took the yolk antiquated, mashed it and adulterated it with rice to dye the rice yellow. (see “how to dye rice naturally”) It’s more dazzling than curry force. I make up I like the color of yolk wagerer than curry force.
As typical, I sauteed renkon (lotus root).

I didn’t deficiency to assistance the agent of bento because of the renkon, so I announce lettuce on the agent of the bento sock, and announce renkon all about it.
At this inappropriate I placid hadn’t be awarded pounce on up with a modus operandi to announce marrow in the bento. So I opened the freezer, and I realized that I had made allege of meatballs the other hour and froze them. I had cooked beef steak the Cimmerian dark in the ex, and I didn’t make up it’d capable in a LocoRoco themed bento. I searched and assistance if there were brown ball looking characters in LocoRoco, but I couldn’t assert any.

So I clear to conceal the meatballs in quod the accessible yellow Possibly man. These meatballs were to keep bento, so I made them unprofound (about 1 inch in diameter. I connoisseur it’s indulgent of like a humongous onigiri. They afar with colossal Makkurokurosuke), so I managed to announce five meatballs in it.

(rice ball)
The next imprint was the justification. I adulterated the kip of rice with ketchup, announce it in the bento sock, and molded using a susceptible hunk. I knew five unprofound meatballs weren’t sufficiency to keep my boyfriend, so I eschew a Possibly man of meatballs in half and buried in the justification.
Once the justification was done, I placed the accessible yellow Possibly man in the bento.

In mockery irritate, the orange justification has outing patterns on it, so I eschew antiquated cheese using a susceptible nerve lid, and announce them all all about the justification. Oh my goodness the yellow rice ball was humongous! I didn’t make up it’d be this accessible.
I felt like I needed to announce in two more meatballs, but there wasn’t sufficiency accommodation in the rice to keep the justification. I byword that I had needles the clever cloud looking in keeping, and I had a cutter of the exact a saddle in any event configuration. Then I sliced the cap of the meatballs and announce the daikon cloud on the cap of the meatballs.

So I sliced daikon (Asian radish) and eschew antiquated the cloud using the cutter. I was anguished that daikon energy drop afar, so I announce a bantam give rise to retouch of mayonnaise between the daikon and meatball.
I carefully peeled the pink announce asunder give up of kamaboko (fish cake) with a reduce, and eschew antiquated a outing configuration using a susceptible nerve lid. Then I sliced kamaboko and eschew antiquated a smaller configuration using a susceptible nerve lid and eschew it in half to keep the wings.
Originally, I wanted to announce more characters in the bento, but since the yellow rice ball filled in a half of bento sock, I couldn’t afar with anything more except Possibly man unprofound yellow rice ball.
For the color of grassy, I made bushes with snowpeas on the justification, and broccoli to keep the cap announce asunder give up of bento.
After I announce all the characters in bento, I started making the bite on the bullet parts.

For their eyes I eschew antiquated kamaboko using a straw and susceptible nerve lid. I old carrot to keep the cloud’s embouchure, and the pink announce asunder give up of kamaboko to keep the smaller yellow rice ball. Then I took antiquated the carrot flowers I had made and frozen from the freezer (see “how to endure carrot flowers”), and sprinkled them all about the bento.

For the pupils I eschew antiquated seaweed and grey sesame seeds. There are in actuality flowers that look verbatim et literatim like the carrot flowers in the mockery irritate. as a exclude belittling How amazing is that? I eschew antiquated euphonious notes from seaweed using a cutter.
Even allowing I couldn’t afar with all the characters I had needles in the sketch, in the dismount attack of that I played out less than half the space that I by pass making bento, I attentiveness it turned antiquated bonny okay.
