It was a fun weekend for the Ro-Ri family. That one extra day made a lot of difference. Three day weekends are really great!

I found some MSG-free gyoza at the Asian market and they are yummy! Home cooked dishes include brown sauce pork chops (recipe to follow) and some vegetable stir-fry.
Ro-Taro and Ro-Jiro’s bento
Ro-Ri San’s bento with simmered kabocha squash.
Adorable bento boxes. I can never get enough of gyoza and those pork chops look so flavorful!
Pretty bento boxes. They all look very delicious.
Great combination in the bento boxes–what fun!
Cookin' Canuck – Thanks! I like gyoza too 🙂 I just posted the pork chop recipe.
MaryMoh – Thanks! My boys really enjoy the bentos. I keep it simple but in the summertime when there are lots more fruits and veges, I make them a little more "cutesy".
Table Talk – Thanks! My winter bentos are meatier and it gets lighter in the summer with more fruits and greens.
