A Croaker On Crack
It is just one of those days. When everything doesn't seem right. All you do turned out all wrong.
I saw a tadpole-themed bento, and it was in my bento-theme-to-try list. (We caught some tadpoles back in spring; my daughter held some in her hands.) And since she has recently grown a liking to black olives (to make into the tadpoles), I thought it was the perfect time. I even went ahead and bought green olives to make into a frog. Sound perfect, right?
Well, some how the frog ended up looking like it was on crack (maybe when making the bento I was!), and the tadpoles looked a bit ghostly. What's more, my daughter made it clear that it was not a pretty bento this time >.<

ReplyDeleteThank you Kendra. The camera makes it look better than it really is ;p
DeleteI agree, it's really nice!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ming, you are too nice :P
DeleteWhere u get the pink?
ReplyDeleteThe pink lilies? They are kamaboko, got it here in Tokyo.
DeleteIt looks good and I think that my nephews would love it. I especially like how you put the grass around the outside.
ReplyDeleteExactly, I think my nephews would love them too. I guess it wasn't a girly bento and that's why my daughter wasn't into it. Rarely use the grass baran, but today it served its purpose well :D
DeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristie. You know what, I'm beginning to love it too ;D
DeleteI think its awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love, Kat!! :D
DeleteI love the frog - it's very cute :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda, it think it was the red eyes that made it looked like it's stoned, LOL!
DeleteVery cute. It is fun definitely not a failure.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna for such sweet words! <3
DeleteThat frog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou think so? I had a hate-love feeling towards it, but now that you guys left such sweet comments, I'm leaning more towards love ;D
DeleteYou perfectionist!!!(^-^) This is a beautiful bento! Lol at the title and post though, can't say I haven't felt this way regularly myself! But really there's a lot of care and love put into this meal, and that is what really matters most! You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!! How can you tell that I am a perfectionist?!! (Just a little! LOL!) She did finish it, so that means something right.. :) I've decided not to make any bento today, need a day off. Do you have a day off, or just at weekends? Thanks for the love, Keisha!
