Since it was a really busy weekend, I didn’t have the chance to go grocery shopping. As a result, Paige’s lunch today consists of ready-made gyoza that I pan fried/steamed this morning, along with corn and peas. I also made two piggy onigiri using the slanted rice molds that I got from Marukai last week. I packed everything into this cute blue bento box that I got from Borders. That’s right, Borders is selling this bento box as well as the Panda one pictured below! 
Hope you all had a fun Mother’s Day weekend!

Having those molds sure makes it easy. 
Happy Noodle with a smiling shrimp sushi. Too cute! Gyoza always makes me hungry.
Thanks Judy!

Cute bento. I couldn’t find any at our Borders. I love your piggy onigiri, and how you squeezed the little corn and peas cup in there!
Thanks Lyndsey!
The corn and peas worked out well since I didn’t have anything else to fit in that spot. 
Happy Mother’s Day Susan! And happy belated B’Day for your lil’ Princess

Thanks Tatabonita!
waaa..that gyoza looks yummy!!

susan, the piggy onigiri is simply cute! ..is it plain rice? or did u mix it with rice vinegar ?
Btw, I love your idea of giving donation every making few postings..
Thanks Deby!
LOL, I used frozen gyoza since I was in so busy over the weekend and didn’t get to do any grocery shopping. It is plain rice and I stick in a little container of furikake which Paige likes.
The pigs are so adorable ^_^
Thanks noobcook!
Mmmm-mmm! Gyoza! What a lucky luncher Paige is.
Thanks Jessica!
I’ve got that box too! They used to sell these boxes in Borders in the UK before Borders went bankrupt, now they’re sold in stand-alone stationery shops…I remember how pleased I was when I found them!
I’ve not used my blue robots box yet, but you’ve filled it wonderfully. Can’t wait to see you fill the happy noodle double-tier bento!
Wow, they have it in the UK? That is awesome!!! That is too cool that you have the robot one and the panda too!
so smart to use that mold for piggies, which DO have pointy ears like a cat!
and gyoza are always a super-tasty lunch, great to have in the “stash” — plus you brightened up with those pretty fresh berries. yum!
Thanks Gamene!
