A-chan loves cute kitties in her lunches. And I love making them! It's a perfect combination. I tried to do something new with the Jack'o'lantern in this bento. I have now learned to try new things at times that are not busy mornings! Ahem.
In the bento: Rice underlaying the Jack'o'lantern and kitty, green onions, apple star, carrot star, miso crusted tofu, steamed broccoli, pineapple chunks and a cheese ghost.
The Jack'o'lantern was cut from three layers of orange eggsheet. The new thing is that they were cut all at the same time in an attempt to make the 3d layering a little easier. I'm sure it will get easier with practice. The kitty has two layers - one of cheese and one of nori. The kitty is sandwiched between the lowest pumpkin layer and the top two pumpkin layers. My favorite parts of the Jack'o'lantern are the teeth (they are so adorable) and the kitty's hat. I used a leftover piece of broccoli stem for the pumpkin stem. The apple star was an ambitious project as well and though it looks great - it didn't fit once I put on the lid. Not so much a big surprise, lol. I ended up rearranging a few things to get the star laying down, whew!
In other news, we had a fabulous time at the Stone Mountain Highland Games this past weekend! Doesn't A-chan look cute in her Highland dance outfit? At 8 am it was pretty darn cold out there so she didn't want to take off her gloves for the picture and who can blame her.
