Happy Skeleton Jack- O'- Lanterns



Yesterday Isi brought home a bag of lovely lihapiirakka or savory pies of yeast dough or puff pastry filled with cooked and seasoned ground meat; mixed with rice, and onions. The yummy pies can be rewarmed in the microwave, or eaten just as they are from the bakery; which is how we usually eat them. But today, I have on my Halloween season glasses!!! I saw skeletons when looking at the flaky, savory pies...

 
In this bento lunch the girls had:
  1. The Lihapiirakka fashioned into happy Jack-O'-Lantern Skeletons; with carrot arms and a pumpkin (clementine) head.
  2. Cherry tomato with a witch hat pick
  3. Mozzarella ball ghost on a ghost party pick
  4. Grapes with bat picks
  5. Moon cut cucumbers
  6. Individual fruit jellies (from my local Asian market)
We all sat down and ate this little meal picnic style. We gobbled everything up including the lettuce! I barely had to wash the bento boxes...but I did ha ha! ^-^  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

    These are adorable! Isn't funny when you start seeing everything as a possible bento item. Great job on turning the pies into a skeleton. Does Finland celebrate/make a big deal out of Halloween?

      Thanks Keitha, I've got the bento crazies(0-o) as my Hubby says! Lol! Fin's love Halloween here, and of course though it's not in anyway a traditional holiday, (heaven forbid) the stores miss out on what might be needless spending from usually practical Finnish consumers...Which is great for this American gal!!
