Tiny, flat peaches

I recently found some Saturn white peaches — they’re small, flat, very sweet, and fit perfectly into a bento box! Packed in my Lock & Lock bento set without the juice container and case (my husband thinks they’re too cute to take to work with him).

Steamed bun bento for toddler

Having sent my husband off with the speed bento, next came my son’s lunch.

Chinese steamed bun, orange grape tomatoes, octo-dogs, over-easy fried quail’s egg (on its side), and blueberries. And of course, my son rejected the cute quail’s egg (but devoured the octodogs, as usual)!

Tip: When frying quail eggs, don’t try to break them along the middle with your fingers like you would a chicken egg. The membrane is quite thick and you’ll end up with broken yolk. Open it more like a soft-boiled egg: tap around the end with a sharp knife and peel off the small cap of shell. Turn the egg upside down and shake it out of the opening you’ve created.
