So, this is my entry for the pirate theme this week. I love pirates. I...kind of don't love my creative muscles for totally failing me, but if there's going to be a pirate theme, I'm going to eat something piratey. Yarr!



( Arr we tharr yet? )

>_> It was really hard to think of something that no one else had already done... so I feel really un-original. ;_;



( Details below the cut! )

I'll admit I was dog tired last night when I put this together.  I made myself clean the kitchen and do the chores before I could mess with lunch, so by the time it was done I was ready to crawl in bed.  I wanted to use my new bento box but the parrot was too big! wahh!  I'm whining....

Not shown is a side of grape tomatoes and more sugar snap peas

Uninspired, I admit.


( You fight like a dairy farmer! )

But I spent all my piratey inspiration last year already:

( How appropriate. You fight like a cow. )

;)

Has anyone else seen those new IHOP commercials? I feel like I should be shouting the word "treasure" everytime I say it now XD

I said I would come back with a better Jack Sparrow. I think I want to come back with still a better Jack Sparrow. I don't know yet what to make him from, I run out of ideas lol.


Field salad (?), sweet corn, carrot, wakame with sesame and chili, tofu with nori and soy sauce. Bandana made from tomato skin which I used for making a sauce today (the rest of tomato that is lol).

My second pirate-themed bento, this time in duplicate (because there's one for me and one for the kid)

My first challenge entry! I'm going to the premiere of the Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End tonight at midnight. A pirate themed bento seemed perfect for today. :)



Top tier: rice decorated with Pirate flag made out of nori

Bottom tier: Cpt. Jack Sparrow shaped onigiri, surrounded by golden corn coins and some green pea emeralds. Sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce, secured with shell and fish toothpicks.

Side: strawberries, pine apple candy and strawberry truffle marshmallow.

I WILL do more pirate themed bentos. I have SO many ideas, but this one was a bit limited by the fact that it had to be something my kid would eat, too.

So here's my first, sorta lame, entry in the Pirates challenge:

My first bento challenge!  I was so excited that this week's challenge was PIRATES!  I am lucky to live very near Disneyland so this morning I ventured over to the Mouse House for some piratey inspiration.  I didn't find anything to actually put IN my bento, but I was definitely inspired, seeing that the new movie comes out next week.  Here's what I came up with tonight.  I hope to do at least one more for this challenge!
