Here is the 'play by play' on the witch scene:
body - a tortilla ab&j (almond butter) sandwich
head/skin - tortilla with cinnamon/sugar
eye - carrot and cucumber
hat, hair and grass - cut cucumber
broom - carrot
moon - blood orange
background - sweet couscous - raisins kinda look like bats (?!)
Also in this lunch is the rest of the orange and some yogurt with some Kashi U cereal crushed on top.
The last few lunches were reported to have been all 'mixed up' by lunch time, (major bummer!!) so I am taking my friend, Michelle's advice and using press n seal to keep it in place! I just placed the witch scene in the laptop lunchbox without the insert, then firmly placed the press n seal all around it (pressing tightly to the lunchbox) before adding the other containers.
Oh, and the man-witch part... after taking the pictures, loading them onto the computer, sealing up the lunch, etc., I then notice the raisin in the couscous right under the witch's nose, resembling a mustache! OH WELL! lol
Brilliant idea on the witch ... very nice!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love the moustached witch! :D I always appreciate new ideas for Halloween themed lunches!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, great idea!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant lunch! I really like the sweet cous cous. I've had cous cous twicew this week and I think I'll be trying your recipe next week in my bento!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the witch was dressed up as Groucho Marx for Halloween? :)
O! Press and seal! I haven't tried that. I've posted about the abuse my son's lunchbox takes, and I usually glue everything together with cream cheese. But a lot of times its hard to get enough to hold it without it squooshing out and showing around the edges. I always have press and seal. I should try that! Goood tip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog! Very cute lunches. :)
ReplyDeleteI am amazed with these lunches. Where were you when my daughter was little? She got ham and cheese, juice box and a treat. Wish I could have done this for her.
