Um, well this is the bento counterpart. Packed in a PlanetBox.
Yeah. I don't even know where to start with this mess.
Hmm. Okay, well there's the Big Dipper of mini wagon wheel pasta. When I was making a fresh batch of pasta the other day I was musing to myself how they sort of looked like little ball ornaments. That's what "inspired" this
Moving to the left are some clementine halves and blueberries. For some insane reason I tried to put stripes on the clementines to make them look more "ornamentish". Yeah, that looks ridiculous.
In the top side section is a Little Dipper of sauce for the pasta and some turkey pepperoni. Another crazy insane notion on my part. My messy 3 year old girl with a pot of marinara. What was I thinking? Clearly I wasn't. Good thing she was wearing a navy shirt, that's all I have to say.
Across the top are some cucumber chunks and a little cocktail fork to eat the pasta with.
The tiny treat section holds little ornament icing decorations. My kids just love those things.
After I finished orchestrating this lunch I realized things had gone terribly wrong. In a last ditch effort to make it look a wee bit better I tossed around some vintage-looking Christmas light bulb cupcake picks. I really don't think they are going to fool anyone though. This lunch is a bento Don't, for sure. ;-)

Not so sure that is a disaster. My girls saw this and said that they want me to make a lunch just like that. LOL.
with all the hundreds of cute bentos you put together, there's bound to be a "disaster" here and there. Many kudos to for actually putting it up though. You could have very well not taken a picture of it and pretended like it never happened, we would have never known. But it's good for u amateurs to know you pros still make boo-boos. :)
You are too hard on yourself. It's not perfect but it's still cute and you put love into it. That's the most important ingredient!
That's hilarious! I'm still laughing after reading what you wrote. You (still) make me smile, Senorita :)
I actually like it, but I like anything Christmas.
Those picks are adorable though! for a second I wondered if you put real Christmas lights in the lunch. lol
I think the cheese ornaments are cute! The one on the left reminds me of a blown-glass ball I have hanging in my office window.
I don't think it's a disaster! It's cute. :) I have the same light picks!
Not a disaster - and I agree with Sweet Virginia that the cheese ornaments are cute :-) Though I understand your feeling of having a theme/concept and then just having that sense of "what??" in the end. The lunch itself looks quite tasty!
I think you're too hard on yourself - I thought it was really cute!
I think this looks amazing! And kids don't even notice. Anything festive is fun!
Not a disaster! I love it. And I am sure your daughter loved it and that is all that matters.
