Vegan MoFo, day 2 (ish..)

When I wrote yesterday's post, I totally forgot that it is now the Vegan Month of Food! Oh dear! I'm still totally participating though- ready for a post every weekday- at least? I hope I am!

Anyways, here are some recent bento lunches. I'm not going to post them ALL, since that is a lot of catch-up and not all of them are terribly interesting.

Here, I put some bell peppers on top of a medley of vegetables, and gave them faces. I called it "Expressive Peppers", haha.


I've also been going with a musical theme lately, making bentos for some of my favorite bands.

First up is a Neutral Milk Hotel bento! Yay!

It's supposed to be an aeroplane flying over a sea of eggplant, in honor of my favorite album (In the Aeroplane over the Sea). :)


Then, I made a Velvet Underground bento. It's got the Andy Warhol banana from their debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico.

I was pretty proud of that one :) The white background is made from mushrooms, sliced top to bottom.


Last but not least, here's a Deerhoof bento. They've got a song called 'Come See the Duck', hence the duck.

(That little green thing in the corner is a lilypad)


I don't have school tomorrow, so I won't have to make another bento until Sunday evening. I don't mind the wait- does anyone have any ideas for a theme? Bento brainstorm! I might just continue musically, or make ones dedicated to each of my friends, but I'm always open to new, exciting concepts!

:) Thanks to both of you! And that's okay tofufreak, but I'm sure you're plenty creative, judging by the fantastic yummies on your blog.

those bentos are so cute. Playing w/ your food is fun. Reminds me of when my husband & I used to have contests to see who could come up with the most interesting presentation. Once I came up with the mashed potato moat filled with tomato soup with a pillar of mashed potatoes in the middle - that you can balance more food on, we hit a rut, but it was a fun rut. Maybe I'll resurrect it for a vmofo day.
