Fancy tofu cut-outs for bento boxes – Aww, kissing giraffes

When I was researching as much as I could about bento boxes for the girls, Wendolonia is one of the sites I went back to multiple times. She had some hardcore facts and instructional tips, but also had a lot of fun examples of bentos.
I can’t help but want to share her tutorial on how to make tofu cut-outs, too. Aren’t the giraffes adorable? I don’t have much experience with tofu outside of smoothies and stir-fries, but her kids love baked tofu and she loves playing with it, so it’s a great combo.
Check out the full picture tutorial for yourself at her site and browse around her gallery for some other great examples.
Spice skulls – Spooky Halloween decorations or soup?

Mmm, yummy, right?
Helen Altman made these as an art project, but I’m picturing these as something much spookier….and bigger.
Like at a Halloween party. I’m guessing these probably weren’t made with edible glue, but for future skull making, they’d be usable. Picture a large pot….a cauldron, if you will….with lots of “spooky” ingredients ready to be tossed in. These bad boys would be awesome to tie it all together for an awesome stew. The ritual would be quite the show and the end result would taste delicious, too.


Blinky meets Mr. Fly – When eggs collide

When I took the picture of breakfast that morning, I only saw a Pacman ghost.


But really, the eyes are much more fly-like. Big bug eyes, staring back at you from the oiled pan, daring you to eat it….with hot sauce. Yum. :P
Waka, waka, waka, bzzzzzz, smack! It’s probably quite disgusting that I pictured egg yolk busting, then started singing “Squishing up my baby bumblebee, won’t my mama be so proud of me….”
Yeah, I thought so. Sorry.
