Mice in a box (B#281)

In my bento accessories wish list, there is this tool which you can get to make various animal faces with quail eggs.



Couldn’t wait anymore especially since I bought a tray of quail eggs from the market. Tried toying around with an alternative way with the existing tools. It worked but hiya, left my face punchers at M’s house and could only make do with what I had that morning (looks more like pigs or something!!).

Wanted to make a pair of ‘mice’ so using a small round cutter, cut the ears and then push them into the slits of the hardboiled quail eggs. Dress the face details with nori seaweed.

In this bento box, a ham sandwich with a pair of ‘mice’ quail eggs, some carrots and pineapple.
