Werewolf Calzone Field Trip Bento
MisterMan has a field trip to the wildlife museum, so I thought it would be appropriate to make a werewolf calzone for him to take for lunch. I think my last werewolf bento may have been cuter. Anyway, in addition, it fits in with the Halloween theme too. On the upside, my calzones are really starting to look calzone-shaped. On the downside, I guess it doesn't look all that werewolf-shaped, does it? I tried to make furry edges and pointy ears, but I didn't have enough extra dough for that. I hope the radish and yellow and purple carrot eyes, mouth, and fangs help. This one is stuffed with pepperoni, salami and ham, plus spinach, thin sliced zucchini, baby portobellas and cheese. I think it would be fun to form a plain roll (and easier too). Maybe I'll try that sometime. The rest of this disposable container holds corn, broccoli, carrots, Okinawan sweet potato, peapods, peaches, grapes and strawberries. I kept the calzone separate with the wax paper between. When I closed the box, he fit perfectly, peering out the window. RAWR!

I love him looking out the top, that photo made me laugh at loud! Seeing that face was a great start to my morning, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather. Woof!
ReplyDeleteOh I really admire your free hand skill, Sheri! You're just so good at anything! ;D
ReplyDeleteYour last werewolf bento indeed is cuter, a baby werewolf! I love all of them! ;)
Haha! I love doing them. Practice will make perfect, right?? ^_^ Thanks Ꮮуռ (ᶬˠ ᶩᶤᵗᵗᶥᵋ ᵐᵋˢˢᵞ ᴻ ᶜʱᵋᵋᵏᵞ) !
ReplyDeleteYes, practice makes perfect, so true! How I wished I've got more chances to! Since the day my elder gal told me that her sch bag was 'too heavy' (but it's indeed very heavy!) for anymore lunch boxes, I seldom prepare for them now. So if she were to ask for it, it's like a bonus to me! lol ;P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about how time flies by. I really really want to savor and appreciate each of these bento days :)

ReplyDeleteYummy! Check out the new bento meme at Bento Blog Network.

This theme specific meme is posted each Friday. Next week's theme will be Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI like what you used for your travel container! I find myself in a similar situation a lot roadtripping. Unlike my coworkers who are fine with doing the fast food the whole trip long, I prefer to pack pasties and fruits and veggies- but your container gives me great ideas for packing whole road trip meals without having to worryabout finding a place to clean my box or have it clunking around a crowded car.
ReplyDeleteMiss Kagashi,
DeleteI know lots of parents are like you, trying to find a good option for those field trips so that you don't have to rely upon prepackaged food. I still can't really pack messy or wet foods in this box, but you can always repurpose a yogurt cup or something similar for foods like that. The handheld foods are great because no utensils are required, so you don't have to waste plastic forks and such. Thanks a lot for your comment :D
