Wanted to up the complexity of the bento this morning. With some trial and error this was what todays lunch looked like.Not bad for an amateur???
So tried to make a chick from a boiled egg. The first time didn't go so well. So after boiling the egg for 10 minutes ,I let it cool and placed it in the refrigerator. Then with a paring knife in a zigzag pattern went around the egg to make it look like a cracked egg. Then for the eyes added some sesame seeds and carrot beak. The "nest" is some spaghetti with marinara sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. Added some starred plum slices, carrot peels rolled and placed on a pick and some stacked pita, ham and cheese to complete. No "treat" today because Kindergartners get to buy a snack today! (if she finishes her lunch)
Happy Friday Everyone!!!
