	I love the colourful salad! Makes me warm in my heart - in contrast to the bitter cold weather outside (but the snow is pretty!). (Reply to this)(Thread)

	could you give a little more 'how to' on the butterflys? did you use slices of cheese? how did you apply the base colours? another great bento. I do love your posts! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	mmmbento 2007-01-24 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Thanks! So I had slices of mozzarella already pre-cut, but if you just have a big chunk, then you can slice it yourself. Then just use the cookie cutters to make the shapes. I used a small paintbrush to apply the food coloring to the cheese, waited for it to dry, then used the food color markers to add more detail. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Part of why I like bento (don't have your patience to do it often enough), and sushi, overall, is the attention to detail and presentation.

I love that you link to supplies, etc. on Amazon.com, and I've really enjoyed working with your equipment and supplies lists on your web site. Have you made a "So You'd Like To" guide at Amazon that features your most-regular supplies there? That contains a compilation of the links you've cited in each entry? That'd be a great one-stop-shopping trip for any number of us to be able to cross-reference your equipment-and-supplies pages with shopping at Amazon...

(I've adopted your Chococat-on-rice pic for my userpics, which are all Chococats-- with credit to you, of course! I use him for some of my cooking posts, and all of my "I'll get eaten alive for this" posts.)

I've got a collection of mini-cookie-cutters from Wilton and other sources that I use in baking and pastry-making-- I'm definitely going to be using them more in 'regular' food presentations, too!

Thanks, too, for posting recipes!

	Hey! So it was you that suggested I make an Amazon list. :) Although I haven't gotten around to doing the So You'd Like To guide yet, I did make some shopping lists. Thanks for the great suggestion! (Reply to this)(Parent)
