i love pancakes bento
by yiddle on Feb.25, 2009, under The Geekery, bento |
starting to think i should start another blog for bentos. these posts are kind of starting to take over my digital art site. i should maybe think of a good domain name – help me think of something creative!
i was hungry for pancakes tonight so i translated that into bento. last time i made star shaped pancakes, so i wanted to do something different this time. i watch Top Chef, and they are always doing “something three ways” so i decided to do pancakes. hehe. except i did “pancakes two ways” because i ate the other two pancakes i made. whoops. it was pretty ugly but putting the marshmallow heart on top somehow made it seem a little cuter. until i photographed it and the raspberries look horrifyingly like gory raw meat (which i should remember for halloween). it looks yummier in person.
on the menu:
- 1 whole wheat pancake stuffed with raspberries, topped with more raspberries (frozen, in light syrup. drained most of the syrup to hopefully avoid sogginess)
- 1 whole wheat pancake stuffed with deli ham and shredded cheese, topped with more cheese and surrounded by wisconsin cheese curds
- 1 marshmallow heart

ok so now that i have *eaten* this bento i learned a few things:
1. the raspberry filled pancakes are much better when eaten immediately after assembled
2. the ham & cheese filled pancakes were awesome, and i may try this again with crepes
3. next time, i should remember to make anything that shouldn’t be nuked easily removable. the cheesecurds melted all over. they were still yummy…just a little more difficult to eat.
also…ewwwww my photos look much better on my home monitor than my work monitor. now i just have to figure out which one needs adjusted
