Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi everyone, as I get myself ready for my long roadtrip I decided to have a little fun . I put together a bento to have for breakfast in the morning before I go (tonight I'm staying at one of my in-laws about 2 hours away). I put up a picture in the photos section so you can see what I did. I used a small two tiered bento. In it you'll see two hardboiled eggs shaped like a heart and a star and dyed with food coloring, a cut up vegetarian brat which spans both levels, a few bites of banana, and a packet of oatcakes. My hope is to have time for a bowl of oatmeal, but should that not work out I am glad to have the oatcakes. I think I am a child at heart!!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 LOLOL! You can buy egg shapers to do it! They come in shapes, animals, even cars. It's a lot of fun, and I swear they taste better . Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh actually, you hardboil it first, peel it right away, put it in the shaper and then pop it into a dish of cold water for 20 minutes .

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 ROFL! OH, that sounds much easier - I kept trying to picture cracking the egg in a form of some sort and boiling it without it leaking out! HA! I had no idea that eggs were formable when they are still warm - this is an awesome and fun idea! JJ " Your food shall be your remedy. Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 LOLOLOL!!!! that would be more like poaching, and as of this point I haven't been able to do that in shapes.
