Butter Yaki Leftovers

My apologies for not posting on Girl's Day, but I didn't have a bento to post because I ended up not having enough time to finish it in time. ; ; We had to tour a preschool early in the AM and I had to just put my bento into the fridge for today. I ate leftover hamburger stew for lunch.

This is the bento, finished at last. I have as the "main" food, three pan friend shrimps, some eggplant, and some zucchini. Along with that is a flower shaped onigiri, a bunny shaped boiled egg dyed pink, pickled cucumbers, pickled eggplant, and a lone blueberry to fill up the middle. I put soy sauce for the boiled egg in a carrot bottle for the bunny. ^_^


For Girl's Day we went to Shirokiya to buy Baby Girl a yukata and hair piece, which looked so so cute. I also bought some chichi dango, which is pictured below. I couldn't resist bringing some to work for lunch. The pinks are strawberry, the greens are melon, the white are plain (?). There were blueberry ones as well, but I didn't really like the taste of them. My favorite is the white.

On Friday Mr. Pikko had a surprise for me. He took me to dinner at Sam Choy's in Diamond Head where we had some gift certificates for and then took me to see the Romeo and Juliette opera at the Hawaii Opera Theater. It was an interesting experience, but that darned place needs to turn up their AC! Who wants to sweat while watching Romeo and Juliet?? :( I had a very nice time though, especially at dinner. I took pics of our onolicious food, too!

Seared Sashimi Appetizer - VERY good!
Butterfish - Mr. Pikko's dinner
Red wine Braised Shortribs - My dinner, VERY GOOD!
Pineapple cheesecake - Looked great, but I didn't like it. I thought it would be pineapple flavored cheesecake, but it turned out to be cheesecake flavored pineapple.

The cheesecake was really cool because that fan you see at the top? That's a thin slice of sun-dried pineapple. I thought that was so cool, even though I didn't care for the dessert itself. I also had a melon dacquiri, which I really didn't like. I'll stick with strawberry from now on. D:

It was a bit drawn out, but still a great experience!

How do you make the "green car" and "pink face" boiled egg? What equipment/ mould is needed?
