Post #7 (I think ._.)
Something to snack on the playground, when I get my son from school and weather is good we can eat lunch there.



Flowers in a basket with a little mouse in front with a cherry(tomato lol). A mixture of leaf-salat, spring onions (scallions?), carrots (done soft with a bit of oil so the body can take the carotin), yellow and red pepper, cherry tomatoes, salmon roses and the basket is thin sliced tofu fried in the pan with soy sauce which tastes very good (but is a pest to make a basket from lol).
The mouse is white cheese with nori for the decoration. The rose leaves are parts of spring onions or scallions too, the slight bigger sized ones.

Close up basket and mouse. Basket is easier with noodles but I wanted tofu lol.

A small box with a cup full of cherry tomatoes and leftover yellow pepper pieces, plus apple slices. That was enough for the both of us to share ^__^

I'm in Australia, so it's only about 10pm. I'm doing a bit of research and have a tab open so I can see the LJ updates.

lol. I don't usually get to pick up my answers until the next day. Time zone etc - so for me, it would be absolutely amazing!

I've just shown my bento crazy daughter.

Looks like this mummy is making a cheese and nori mouse tomorrow.

She squealed when she saw it.

That is absolutely stellar!

Can I ask how you did the tofu like that?

[info]elfe666

i have a very sharp knife and i took the tight tofu if you know what i mean, not the soft silky kind. then i cut of thin slices from the top carefully and put them in the pan adding a bit soy sauce and leaving them in there for a short time. then i cut them into stripes and i plaited (?) them as you would do with twigs to get a basket ^__^
and thank you!!

I might have to steal your method if that's okay. My veggie sister is coming to town and I think she'd like a "cute" dinner. :D

That was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor, in case you were wondering!

This is abvsolutely super über-awesome! Wow! The flowers, the BASKET (OMG LOOK AT THE BASKET) the mouse, and the background.. it is all so perfect!

I love the salmon roses btw. And since I have some smoked salmon in the fridge, I think I'll grab your idea one of the coming days :o))
