Got my new camera , and Bento posts is here again !!

So I finally got a new digital camera. Haven't the patience to wait out till my old digital camera come back from the repair shop.

I got the new camera from that camera shop next to Mothercare at One Utama. When the salesgirl tried it out, the battery was defective, so she changed one for me. When I got home and tried to download some photos into my laptop, a pop up says the USB device is not recognise. I tried my printer's USB and it worked perfectly. So it's not my laptop.

So when Evelyn , a friend whom I had called to ask about her particular brand of camera, phoned me to check whether I had managed to buy it, after putting it off for like 2 weeks, I told her I just got it but need to get the USB wire thingy changed. She said that come to think about it, there is a coincidence about parts from that particular shop not being mercantible.

When she got her brand new digital from them, her charger was defective too, and they couldn't download photos while she and her hubby were on holiday at Hanoi. It was a hassle for them to go hunt a charger in a unfamiliar town.

And now the same thing happened to me. A defective battery and a defective USB device.

I am not about to go back to One Utama today to change it cos I just went there on Sunday. Will just drop by tomorrow instead and see what they have to say.

So Evelyn said she will loan me her card reader till I get my USB device changed. Thanks, Evelyn !! Now I can finally take bento pics !

But I am happy with the digital nevertheless. Except that I thought it make all my pictures look a tad darker than those photos in my old camera.

Anyhow, this is Kimberly's bento of Monday.

Bento # 44



It's chicken patties, sliced green zucchini and yellow cherry tomatoes. Kimberly were supposed get only 2 patties and Ashley one, but Ashley woke early yesterday and I had to bring her down to the kitchen with me.

She goes, "Ah doh want chicken !! Ah doh want chicken !!" and picked hers out of her bento box, so all the patties goes to Kimberly. I told her to share her bento meals with her classmates instead.

Bento #45

Not having patties, Ashley's bento is somewhat simpler.



Also, because she was awake and with me in the kitchen, she made her order. She goes, "Ah want cheese ! No, not that one, small ones"

"Ah doh want yellow ones ! I want purple ones" (So I gave her grapes instead of yellow cherry tomatoes)

Knowing Ashley is more minded to eat carbo, I gave Ashley peanut butter sandwiches instead of just protein. Cut it with a Hello Kitty cookie cutter. Added some cereal to fill the gap.

As of 2 weeks ago, I had started bento-ing for myself. But not for hubby. Hubby, however, seeing some of the bento meals, said he wouldn't mind a bento once in a while, so this is husband's bento of Monday.

Bento # 46

Its roast ribs and roast vegetables (potatoes and tomatoes). Marinated them the night before and shove them into the oven in the morning for about 20 minutes while I go about doing other stuff.



I hadn't time to chop up some red or green vegetables for him to go with it, because I was late for Kimberly's bento. So I just pack it up. Will need to get the veges ready the night before if I am minded to pack bento for hubby next time.



On the side are the roast potatoes and tomatoes. Thinking hubby is bound to crave some carbo, I added a slice of bread cut up in quarter.

This here below is my bento. It's identical, but without the carbo.



And that's Monday's bento. Was happy to be able to put up bento posts again. And lurve lurve lurve my new digital!!
