Hello Kitty soup

[Guest guest]

I usually make a pot of vegetable stock every Friday and use it through the

week. Today I found a simple tracing of Hello Kitty and printed it out. I laid

the tracing over a white potato and cut carefully around with a paring knife. I

did the same with a large sweet potato. I cooked some wagon wheel pasta and the

potato slices in the vegetable stock. To plate it up, I used some scallion

leaves, since the nori I have ordered hasn't arrived yet and where we live one

cannot find sea weed. Each kitty potato slice  had long scallion leaf whiskers,

tiny eyes and a bit of pimento for the nose. The vegetable wagon wheel pasta

looked like little flowers floating around the kitty heads.

 

Carl  thought it was a bit silly, but I had fun doing it.

 

It is a shame that the kids grew up and moved out before I discovered bento, but

as all of the kids are male, the last thing they would have wanted to have for

lunch was something cutsie pootsie looking.

Your sons will surprise you. I know when our family gets together what they

talk about is the crazy things I did for their rooms and making their lunches

etc. 

My boys are 32 and 25. Their wivies think I am a nut. But I decided years ago

when my mother passed away and my brother and I and cousins sat there

talking about the things she did and laughed and to me that is important for

them

to be able to laugh and remember me. So crazy here I come and they love it.

That is adorable, I may have to try that for Bean. Of course the boys will want

cars or something next.
