Valentine's Day Lunch

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
I hope you're having a wonderful day full of love!
Things seemed to be going well initially (Ha!) I pre-prepped my strawberries for Missy Lulu's  themed bento. I also made a maki style smoked salmon roll for Daddy's Valentine lunch. The purpose for doing that is to keep  a sense of order in the morning; you see,  after my "creations" the kitchen is destroyed!  This time, I had a perfectly clean kitchen much earlier than usual, but I'm not liking the results of the food sitting in the refrigerator overnight. I think I'll just deal with the morning chaos.....but this is what I ended up with!

Missy Lulu's Strawberry couple! 
I badly copied, was "inspired" by Lian Mamma's Obento clever little strawberry couple...so cute (see the real deal here.) But I changed the detail to marzipan instead of what is probably nori...bad results, with runny features on my berries...sniff sniff.

In this lunch she had two fat strawberries, a chicken drumette, and two heart shaped marshmallows!  I baked cupcakes for Missy's class; she was so excited!

Daddy's Valentine's Lunch turned out a little bit better...

In Daddy's lunch he had salmon pesto rolls. In the Valentine's spirit I topped each roll with beet hearts! Along with the rolls he had cucumbers filled with creme fraiche, red onion, salmon roe and spring onion. He also had nice little picks holding tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil leaves. For his  romantic sweet he had three strawberries! I hope he likes it!
