Arghh...Me Hearty

For an international talk like a pirate day, today I  made this "Arghh...Me Hearty" bento.  It's like greetings to a friend, in pirate's language :)

The pirate is made of bacon and  mushroom mini quiche (recipe here), with nori and crab stick for the details.
The letters and the cheese are cut out using these tools :

For me, these tools create letters for lunchbox at perfect size.

I also put corn on the cob, carrot sticks, fruit salad yogurt, and kiwi for recess.

International Dot Day

To celebrate International Dot Day this Monday, I made dot- themed bento for my kids. For the polkadot fish body and the fins, I shaped the rice using Glad wrap. I used soy sauce to color the fins. And for the dot, I used the red part of the crab fish. For the details, I used crab fish and nori.
