Of Bokeh Photography and Bento 9

This morning's Bento...not that it's something extra special but it's here cos it has become a subject of photography. Other half has been acquiring new siblings for his new baby for this purpose. Bokeh photography basically means having a blurred background - bokeh is Japanese for blur. That's what my limited knowledge of photography tells me. Hence the need for the new 50mm baby. Apparently it's easier to create a blurred background with a fast lens cos it has much more latitude on the wide end of the aperture than the slow lens.

Anyway, this bento was a quickie. Tim's mom brought some KFC chicken for the boys after our lesson yesterday night. There were a few pieces left. So I shredded the meat and kept it in the fridge. Refried it with onions in olive oil and threw in some fresh corn this morning. I don't use the frozen corn from the supermarket cos they don't taste so sweet. Then add what has been refried with 'mayo' or 'thousand island' .... made 2 flavours. So there...a quickie for this morn.
So other half has been in need of subjects for his new found passion. Else he'd be photographing this... which he did.

This is Barrels....the most photographed subject in our house. He's been with us for more than 12 years. My dad got it for Son from Jusco, Ipoh during one of our trips. And for some reason, Daughter has also taken a great liking for him too. Sometimes they still fight over him! You'd think that at his age, he'd have outgrown Barrels! Daughter has a mini mountain pile of other soft toys but this little fler has always been the first choice. Never mind that he is faded and in need of some repairs in some areas... the most loved soft toy in this family....that's our Barrels. And he's been to almost as many places as my kids.

well done, Barrels! our version of Barrels are 2 bunnies called Mimi and Mumu, who are just slightly older than Cavebaby. Still loved to bits.
and i suspect Cavebaby's mountain of soft toys may be rather larger than anyone else's that i know........

They're almost real, are they not? We have Bunny, doggie, teddy, Mr Bear and newest knitted edition by yours truly (so proud of myself) brownie. My kids don't have a mountain of soft toys, otherwise I suspect they'll all have names and got to be taken places...
