Lunch for Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Yesterday I was looking at some clipart looking for inspiration for a teddy bear and I came across a panda that just made me laugh.  I thought he looked like he had partied too much.  So for today's lunch I made a drunk panda.  Even the kid said he looked like he was laying in the grass just about to pass out.  lol

I had to get up super early this morning to take the kid to detention...again.  ugh boys!  But I was still able to cook everything, shape the panda (using precooked rice that I heated up) and get it all packed together in less than 30 minutes.  Yippee!

The drunk panda was made using white rice and purple jasmine rice that I added a bit of food coloring to get it to look more black.  I also added a little bit of nori and provolone cheese for the eyes and mouth.  On top of his head I added a party hat pick and in his paw I added a partial bottle of soy sauce.  I think he has had too much sauce.  Surrounding the panda is steamed broccoli, a tamagoyaki, broiled salmon, and a mixture of carrots and cucumber.  I also added another small container of grapes not pictured.  This lunch defiantly made me smile even if it was real early in the morning.
