With Halloween just around the corner, kidlet’s class is doing a monster-themed unit this week, so I thought I would try and make monster lunches the rest of the week.  Of course I used up two monster ideas last week, doh!  Today’s lunch was inspired by a piece of art on flickr.

Peanut butter and honey on whole grain bread, strawberries, golden raspberries, kiwi, celery, carrot jack and purple bell pepper bat.  Cheese and pepperoni monster, with a little food coloring to define the gaping maw, and a tiny bit of nori to make the people in the spoon a little easier to see.  He won’t eat the people with the nori on it, but oh wel, its an itty bitty scrap of cheese 😉

Time spent: 40 minutes on the monster yesterday.  I had to re-do it because the first cheese base was a yellow/white mix and was cut so thinly, it just kept breaking apart and crumbling.  So I had to put that in the cheese scrap baggie and start again. 10 minute assembly this morning.
