2 Princess Bride Party

I'm continuing with the pirate theme today, since yesterday was the 25th anniversary of my all-time favourite movie, The Princess Bride!  This party happened a couple of weeks ago, hosted by my good friend R, and it was so much fun she wants to make it an annual thing.  All guests were encouraged to dress in character, (my friend E as The Abino, above) and bring a themed food item.  I have to say, we have some amazingly imaginative friends!

First of all, my own offering.  I made Skewered R.O.U.S. Meatballs, which were Aidell's teriyaki pineapple chicken.

Next was R.O.U.S. Thighs and [pretzel] Turds

And what Princess Bride party would be complete without MLTs?? That is, Mutton [ham] Lettuce and Tomato sandwiches!

We also had Count Rugen Six-Finger Tuna Rolls

Fire-Swamp Chili and Screeching Eel Cutlets (bacon-wrapped mini sausages with a brown sugar glaze!)

We had a wide array of themed desserts.

And of course quenched our thirst with sparkling punch (with or without Iocaine Powder)

Ella won her very own copy of The Princess Bride book.

We made our own t-shirts for the party, check out Ella's!

Hubs'

The Westleys.

My friend S as our very own Inigo Montoya!

The whole fam!  My shirt says "Keep Calm and Carry Iocaine" (I had to buy a white maternity shirt to fit my 6 month belly.)

Such a fun evening!  We watched the movie, quoted lines, had some yummy food, and great company!
 

3 Bento #247 - Chicken Teriyaki & Snap Peas

Okay, so E was sick again all last week, this time with strep.  We're smack in the middle of a course of "Pinky" (antibiotics.)  Thus, we have a plate that I made for her last week.  It's an adorable plate from the Cath Kidston store at Windsor Castle.

Bento #247 - Teriyaki chicken with jasmine rice, sugar snap peas, veggie chow mein and fresh raspberries.

0 Bento #228 - Teriyaki Chicken & Blueberries

I'm going to be having a good time experimenting with these adorable little Babybels!  This one below is a little girl with a pony tail.  A little rough because I only had a pairing knife.  I need to get an X-Acto.  The eyes are sprinkles affixed with a tiny dot of cream cheese.

Bento #228 - Aidell's teriyaki chicken, caramelized onions and jasmine rice with sliced green onions, fresh blueberries, organic baby carrots, grape tomatoes, ranch dip and a Babybel cheese.  Snack - Organic pear.

0 Bento #179 - Chicken Teriyaki Rice & Bananas

Back to the grind!  Spring break is over, and we are back at school for the last several weeks until summer vacation.  Today we have a family favorite, which is jasmine rice tossed with Aidells chicken pineapple teriyaki meatballs with some carrots and caramelized onions.

Bento #179 - Organic banana slices, jasmine rice and carrots with Aidells chicken teriyaki meatballs.
