What does winter mean to you?
Me:
Winter = Red, runny nose + thick, heavy clothing you can hardly move + dry, itchy, fish-scaled skin. LOL! (Or should I say, Ho Ho Ho!) :P
Daughter:
Winter = Waiting for the snow to come + making lots of snowmen.

- Japanese rice for the snowman and the ground
- Prune for the hat and the eyes
- Carrot for the nose
- Nori for the smile
- Cheese for the buttons and the stripe on the hat
- Crab stick for the scarf
- Black spaghetti for the arms
Also in the bento:
- Pan-fried salmon
- Yellow cauliflower
- Pomegranate, grapes, and dried persimmon
I also made festive lights mini-sandwiches, which I think I got the idea from Meet the Dubiens during one of my episodes-of-endless-googling-of-fun-food many months ago.
