I've been wanting to ramp up the Halloween-ness of Monstro's lunches for the last week or so. They were starting to get a lil boring so I decided to break out the felafel from the freezer and use them as a base for something a little more fun.
Like this guy:
Isn't he just the cutest thing?! Like I said, he's a frozen felafel patty that I re-heated from my stash. There are 2 more stacked under him too. I used red bell pepper for the brains and the dripping blood. The eyeballs and teeth are white cheddar cheese held on with mayo. The pupils and mouth are nori held on with sriracha. His hair sprout is a piece of green onion slit thinly and soaked in ice water to curl the ends then tucked into a small cut in the top of the patty. I wish the detail had turned out better in the picture because the brain is really cool looking! It was textured almost like the stiff side of velcro and was flecked green and red. Rad!
For the rest of his lunch he has what we've decided are carrot fingernails, yellow peppers and a side car of fruit cocktail with some extra fresh pear tossed in. Apparently the cheese was terribly offensive to him (even though he LOVES this cheese) and he refused to eat anything that it had touched. :-(
Since Monstro was on Fall Break this week and we'll be out of town for a funeral, tomorrow's post will be the last until Tuesday. Have a great weekend enjoying tasty, fun food!
