I had some faux crab to use up and thought, what better contents for a bento than sushi? I attempted my own California rolls. They were tasty and pretty, but when I tried to pick them up they crumbled. Oh, well. I just dug in with a spoon.

Top: the sushi is: rice, faux crab, radish, carrot and spinach (for lack of seaweed); borrowed Michael’s penguin soy sauce bottle

Middle: cantalope and blueberries

Bottom: pickles and olives

This was very visually appealing. Plus, I had all five tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Perhaps I need to find a sushi-making tutorial?
