We recently upgraded my wordpress to the newest version (I’d been out of date for months) and I’m having a lot of problems with it. It adds line breaks where I don’t want them, and takes them away where I do. I sometimes can’t upload photos, othertimes I get them uploaded, but they won’t resize like they used to (you select “70%” for example, it shows the photo at the 70%, but when you click “ok”, it shrinks it down to postage stamp size, instead the 70%). So my apologies for the mess right now. I’m not sure what (if anything) I can do; I’ll keep trying to get the photos corrected so you can actually see everything.
Today’s lunch came about as I was making pancakes for breakfast this morning. Kidlet wanted to have pancakes for lunch too. So instead of “The Three Little Pigs” (following the words of the week theme again), we got an un-themed breakfast bento. No pre-planning or sketching or anything, so its not as tight or cute as I might like.
He’s got a pancake, which I rolled around whipped cream cheese that I flavored with blackberry syrup. The cakes were a little warm still though, and the cream cheese melted a bit instead of making a lovely pretty roll with defined layers. Ah well, it will still taste good. Lil’ Smokies (including a couple under the rolls so they would tilt up for presentation, an egg sheet flower, canteloupe and honeydew stars and a few tiny apple flowers, for color.
I already had the sausages in the fridge; I’d sauteed them in hoisin and honey yesterday for kidlet’s snack. The egg sheet came from the freezer; thawed on the counter a few minutes and it was as good as new (maybe a little more rubbery in texture). Melons were pre-cut. And I was already cooking pancakes. It took me a few minutes to flavor the cream cheese and cut the apples. Total time spent this morning: 10 minutes.
Update: This one was a real hit. He ate every single crumb. After school he said “hey mommy. I didn’t get any vegetables today. Don’t forget them tomorrow, ok?”. I’m so lucky even if he won’t eat nori and fishcakes ;). My nephew eats only five different things – it could be much worse!
