Pirate Bento (#103)
This bento was done in one of our big boxes so that I could fit a whole sandwich with the map on it. I can’t claim credit for the map idea; I saw it done as a quesadilla and just converted it to a sandwich topper for Kidlet’s bento. I put it in the oven on very very low just long enough to soften up the cheese so that the pieces wouldn’t fall off before lunch. It remains to be seen if it dries it out too much and he will or won’t eat it.
Treasure map ham and cheese sandwich (with bell pepper accents that I know he will pull off and toss). Grapes, blueberries and golden raspberries. Cherry tomato and carrots with ranch. A little golden “treasure chest” of chocolate and a babybel cheese pirate. I really love how he came out, even though kidlet *will* pull off the nori.
Linking this one to What’s For Lunch Wednesday
So so cute!!
The pirate is so cute! I never would have guessed it’s a babybel.
That map is too cute! Very creative. =)
That is absolutely adorable! I am definitely going to have to try this one. Especially that adorable babybel cheese!
Okay, the treasure map is cute but that pirate cheese wins! How adorable!
Thanks everyone =)
Jenn: It’s not often that I really sit back and admire my bentos, but I have to admit that I am just tickled by that pirate.
Considering it took about 2 minutes tops to carve out the hat from the wax coating, pinch the face and snip the eyepatch from nori, it ended up being a great return for the time spent
Ack, the whole thing is inspired! Treasure map? Pretzel tree? Babybel pirate! Excellent!!
OMG genius! I think my hubby would flip if I did this for him next. He loves his Pirates..arrrg..lol
I might have to buy some babybels just so I can make some cute pirate faces. Love this!
