A little lunch tribute to @TheKurtFuller and @Psych_USA

You know I love Psych. This season I've been especially enthralled with the increase in screen time of Kurt Fuller's Woody the Coroner! He always cracks me up and last week's episode was no exception -- especially when he was all tied up in the Psych office upon his own request. When asked how he was doing he said he was "happier than a swine in poo" (and then shortly thereafter had cheese puffs thrown at his head).
Of course, I immediately thought "LUNCH!"

Packed in my amazing pineapple box from All Things For Sale, I have some mac & cheese covered in barbecue sauce with a monterey jack swine ... and cheese puffs. Not exactly poo but even I'm not that crazy.

I believe in ... Psych!

I love the show Psych on USA. It's smart, geeky, witty ... and was the first non-lunch thing I remember really bonding with my beloved bestie over. I've done lunches for Psych before and now this one to celebrate tonight's season premiere! (Also go checkout the awesomeness over at said bestie's amazing BentOnBetterLunches!)

Based primarily on the season 6 episode "Dead Man's Curveball" and this speech (which, of course, is a takeoff on Bull Durham). Click on the link for the full clip ... or just watch the Psych-Out clip and ... wait for it ...

There's also a muffin just because of this clip and the fact that it reminds me of my favorite Psych-ic connection:

Halloween Hop

Halloween is so close I can almost hear the ghosts howling in delight, can't you? We're celebrating a little early with a great Halloween Blog Hop so after you're done checking out what John and I are having, make you head over to Oh!Bento to see what treats (or tricks) are in-store next!

For John:

A break from our books for a special Jack Skellington lunch from The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Jack is pb&j on wheat. "Jack" is colby jack on top of SnapPea Crisps. There are also Halloween LifeSaver Gummies, yogurt raisins, and pieces of Mini Slim Jims in the main box. When John saw the small skull & crossbones Tupperware bowl he wanted something in that, too, and picked out the fruit salad.

For Mom:

 A tribute to the Psych episode "This Episode Sucks"

Some pineapple & ham pizza, dried pineapple and cranberries, vanilla yogurt, and V8 cocktail labelled "Type O Negative."

And the preview clip from the episode:

Now, don't forget to go check out the next stop on the hop!

(All hop posts should give live around 9am EST ... or so ...)

Skydiving Judi Dench! Embracing My (Psych) Geekness

Today is "Embrace Your Geekness Day" and even though I don't have to work tonight I was reminded that I should still eat at some point .... so I'm embracing my Psych Geekness! I made a Psych-inspired lunch back in March and ever since I keep thinking up new ideas based of the quirkiness and the geekiness that is my favorite show on USA.
Today's lunch is based on one of my favorite Psych-Out bits: the back-and-forth of Gus and Pierre (who is my favorite guest character):
There will probably be at least one more lunch based on this same clip at some point, but this is my favorite.
This is the one I wish was short enough to turn into a Twitter handle.
This is Skydiving Judi Dench:

You can't imagine skydiving in anything other than an evening gown, either, can you?

And I know that there are probably a lot of folks out there who would disagree that Psych is a "geek show" .... but those same people probably don't catch half of the references and jokes made in any given episode. Besides, they have their own ComicCon panel. If that doesn't scream "geek show" I don't know what would!

Want to see some more geeky love? Go check out the amazing Red Dwarf lunch at BentOnBetterLunches and the Ender's Game lunch at BentoForKidlet!

Are YOU a fan of delicious flavor?

Not only am I a fan of delicious flavor, but also of the amazing USA show Psych ... so I just HAD to do a Psych-inspired lunch to take to work tonight in my Laptop Lunch box!

If you watch the show you already know about the pineapple obsession. If you don't watch the show, well, just know there's a pineapple obsession (and now go watch the show).

The sandwich pineapple is brown sugar ham, pineapple and pizza blend cheese in a whole wheat Sandwich Thin with lettuce leaves and monterey cheese "Psych" on the top. I love hawaiian pizzas so this just sounded like the perfect combination!

In the top right container is some pineapple cottage cheese (with extra pineapple).

In the bottom right container is my "sweet treat" for the night in the form of LifeSaver Gummies. Technically the bag is John's but when I saw one of the flavors I couldn't resist!

In the itty bitty container with the Gummies is some pasta sauce in case I decide I want to dip my sandwich in it!
