Domo Kun

This mummy did a boo boo today. :( In my excitement at dressing my girl up for school, I actually forgot to give her pocket money for recess. Was expecting a call from her and indeed she did call me but at 10am, when recess was over, to say, 'mummy, I got no food to eat'. Oh, oh, I had realized my boo boo earlier in the morning but what could I do? If she had called me earlier I could have told her to borrow some from her teacher. All I could do was tell her that I would make her a big lunch. She said ok and hung up the phone.

The school had a dancing competition today and they were to perform line-dancing. I woke her up earlier than usual to do her hair, tied a bandana round her neck and put a cowboy hat on her. They were to go to school in jeans and PE tee. I think it's fun for them to dress casual to school once in a while. There is another dressing up day next Wednesday. It is to celebrate Racial Harmony day.

My girl has been asking for curry rice and since I have not cooked it in quite a while, I decided to do that to make her happy, hoping it will take away my guilt at causing her to suffer from hunger. ;)

Fridays leave me with limited ingredients that I can work with, but digging in the freezer, I found one lone fish nugget which I decided to use, and a box of Sea Shanty's which was perfect to make a Domo Kun. And what could be easier than Mr Domo, which by the way, is the first time I am making him. The sea shanty is a perfect shape for it and all I needed was the red of the crabstick for his mouth but unfortunately I didn't have that, so I cut out the pink of the two-toned kamaboko instead. The teeth were also very easy to do. Below Domo kun lies a flower-shaped white rice and surrounding that is broccoli florets. I made the fish scales using young corn which I cut into sections and then in half. Fish eye was cut out of white kamaboko and eye ball punched out of seaweed. There is pasta tossed in butter and tofu fishcake below the fish, and some cherry tomatoes on a pick. The orange container holds the curry sauce and I also gave her a treat of prawn crackers on the top left. Apples complete her meal. She enjoyed everything and wiped the box clean. :)
