~ ~ Goodbye, Teachers and Friends ~ ~

Friday, 19th November 2010
People said, goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again. But to me, it always causes sick of heart. Part from teachers and friends who you learn and play with is always a sad thing. Again people used to say, "We only part to meet again". However, when you meet again, will the relationship still as close as before? Will you still have topic to talk about other than HELLO?

Today is Isaac's last day in kindergarten and they have a party at school. Thought want to buy some bread or cakes from bakery shop, but seems like lack genuine. So I created my own recipe - "Mini Chicken Floss Tart".

I woke up at 5am this morning and it took me about 2 hours to get the food done. When reached school, I saw a parent brought McD for the kids (not Isaac's classmate, so the McD not for him). Wau!! I told hubby and Isaac, will my food looks lousy and I don't know whether the kids will like it or not. Thank God, Isaac said "Mummy, your one more special", then only I felt half relief.

Tools and ingredient for this recipe:

~ Bread ~
~ Chicken Floss ~
~ Cheese / Mayonnaise ~
~ Star / Round / Flower Shape Cutter ~
~ Mini Paper Cup (Optional) ~
~ Mini Muffin Tray ~
~ Rolling Pin ~

1 & 2. Cut the bread into shapes using cutter. You can use more than one shape, but my case, I only use star cutter.
3. Put a mini paper cup in the muffin tray, put the bread on it.



4. Use rolling pin, press in the center of the bread.
5. Then you get a nice hole in the middle.
6. Put in the oven and toast until it turns brown.



7. The bread after toast will serve as mini cup.
8. Fill the cup with chicken floss. You can use tuna or anything else.
9. All cups are filled with chicken floss.



10. Top with small slice of cheese or mayonnaise, then send it to oven again for approximately 2 minutes.
11. Leave it at room temperature.
12. Cute mini chicken floss tart is ready to be served.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and for kids, Happy Holiday....

Bento #218 - Alphabets Toast

Bento #201 - Egg Dumpling

In my previous White Mouse and Sausage Mouse Bento post, I promised to show you what kind of sandwich cutter I use to prepare the triangular sandwich. I carried out my promise but I think it would be good if I show you few options to prepare sandwich.

OPTION 1: Dumpling Gadget

This is a new gadget for me, just bought last weekend. Instead of using the common sandwich cutter (common as in to all bento mama), you can use this cool little dumpling gadget. I think pictures below has clearly explained how it is used to make "egg dumpling". Isn't the outcome out of the blue? It's unexpectedly cute and the size is just nice for Isaac.

OPTION 2: All in One Triangular Sandwich Cutter

I call this "All in One" cutter as the sealer and cutter are in in one. After putting the filling, just turn the cutter to the other side, press hard and the bread will be sealed at cut at one time. It's it cool? If you can find bigger bread that can make two sandwiches would be better, so that no waste of food.

OPTION 3: Square Sandwich Cutter

This is my first sandwich cutter. At first find it useful, but after few times getting not in good shape bread, I think this cutter is slightly too big. The sandwich cannot be sealed properly, I have actually keep it aside. But today took it out just to snap some photos for you (wah... like very sacrifice... kekekek).

So, which sandwich you perfer? The three egg dumpling I packed into Isaac's bento, the other two for me & my hubby.
~~ HAPPY SANDWICH MAKING ~~

Bento #189 - Button Mushroom Pizza

Last weekend I cooked spaghetti, there were some buttom mushroom left, therefore I baked some button mushroom "pizza" for my two Mr.Handsome. Isaac love the bread, he claimed that two is not enough, the mushroom is so yummy, asked me to prepare more (^.^) Does the apple looks like rabbit?

Bento #186 - Egg Roses Bento

Another flower bento (*0*) Did your heart sing with joy because of the flowers (心花怒放）? Recently Isaac couldn't finish the bento I packed for him, obviuosly I have already reduce the size. Ever since he recovered from high fever, I realized his appetite reduced. Wonder is it too little time is given or get bored with bread. I believe all mummy will be happy to see thier kids have good appetite. To improve Isaac's appetite, today I packed food he loves, which is egg.

I prepared an eggsheet and make it into two roses. In fact with that eggsheet size, I can have three roses. I didn't forget to packed some tomato sauce to eat with the egg. There is a jelly in the bento box, I am sure Isaac gonna have a Happy Friday!

~~Here are some pictures on how to make the egg rose. Enjoy !! ~~
