After (over) 20 years of avoiding all seafood, I have been trying to start eating it. I remember eating fish when I was really young, but then I developed a severe aversion to all things seafood. So severe that the smell of any seafood would make me physically sick. But the past year or so I have worked on the aversion, and I slowly got better with the sight and smell of seafood, and in the past few months I have started trying small pieces of fish.
Although I have made progress, I still have not got to the point where I can sit down and eat seafood without thinking.
Anyway, My fiance (a seafood lover) made Salmon for dinner Friday night, and I tried a small bite... But then Saturday I felt inclined to make Onigiri, and I decided to make Salmon Onigiri with the leftover Salmon. This was a big step for me because It was the first time I ever prepared anything with seafood in it. I even shredded the salmon with my (clean) fingers and ate a bite without even thinking about it.
Sorry if that was a lot of random information about me, but it was a very huge step for me, and I really wanted to write about it.
Now, On to the Bentos!
This is my fiance's bento, With Lot's of Salmon! Packed in my onigiri bento box. I don't use it very often because I haven't made onigiri very often... but since I'm in the mood for onigiri you might see this box more.
Here is my Bento Box... it was a lot of food considering all the rice, but I ended up giving the salmon onigiri to a hungry friend.
I accidentally made too much rice, so I ended up making a lot of onigiri. Luckily we were able to share them with our friends.

It's awesome that you're trying new things, and the onigiri came out so cute! <3! Love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad I've been trying new things :)
DeleteThe onigiri looks really good! All the best, hope you will enjoy seafood. I dun really like fish, but I like seafood. My family loves fish, so I usually just cook for them. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love onigiri, and I thinks it's a good way for me to try eating fish.
DeleteI love onigiri and yours look wonderful! I think I will try that mixed veggie one next time...they look beautiful with the green and yellow peeking through! Yep, that's going in the trick book for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I look forward to seeing your mixed veggie onigiri.
