The box on the left is mine and slightly smaller and the box on the right is hubby’s. They contain “Onigiri” rice balls, carrots kinpira (stir- fried carrots with sesame oil, sesame seeds and soy sauce)(hidden under the onigiri in the right hand bento box), sliced red capsicum, beaten egg with a little soy sauce, cooked then folded and sliced, and cooked prawns on lettuce. I buy the prawns already cooked and frozen and just put a few in each bento. They are thawed by lunch time. I found all the inspiration and recipes at Just Bento.

Here is the scarf I have been weaving – I finished it at the weekend! One more to practice I think. My selvedges are nearly consistent. Weaving is kind of like knitting – the more you do the better your tension and it looks more even.

A dear family friend who lives in Zurich sent me this link after she had read my blog post about Macarons. Apparently they are also made in Switzerland only they are called “Luxemburgerli” over there. They are made by a company who are related to the Lindt family chocolatiers. She told me that they have different flavours depending on what is in season. Currently ‘Strawberry and Rhubarb’ are flavour of the week!
This wonderful looking box contains 6 types of ‘Luxemburgerli’ –hazelnut, raspberry, lemon,caramel, vanilla and chocolate! Wow!
I might try and make some! Vielen Dank fuer Ihre Email Anne : )

This book arrived in the mail today from ‘Prints Charming’. The authors are a couple of ladies who live in Sydney and print their own fabric. When I was in Sydney last year I visited their studio and bought some of their fabric.
The book contains screen printing designs and some sewing projects using your hand printed fabric. I thought it sounded like me. :)
