My favorite part of 2009's amazing Star Trek? Simon Pegg as Scotty. (I swear the man could read the phone book and I would buy it in HD and watch it on my iPad.) Unfortunately one of my favorite parts of my favorite part doesn't seem to be anywhere online in a video clip .... but I do have a sound clip .... and a lunch!
The gang of Edible Geekery couldn't pass up doing a hop to celebrate Trek with the release of the new film so after you take a look at my lunch make sure you click on the button to beam over to the next blog (and so on). We're boldly going where no hop has gone before!
To honor poor always-hungry Scotty I've got a meal and a half (at least) packed in my Laptop Lunch box! In the top left I have a roast beef, provolone and tomato sandwich with Scotty and Future Spock picks I made. Under that is some mac & cheese with tomato slices and colby jack "Well, that's brilliant." The side containers have key lime yogurt, Hershey Kisses and yogurt covered raisins.
The Edible Geekery crew couldn't let the day go by without Doctor Who inspired lunches, now could we? The day, of course, in celebration of the first airing of "The Eleventh Hour" ... the lunch is a combination of that and the most recent episode, "The Bells of Saint John." Pretty timey-wimey of me, huh?
No actual custard was used in the making of this lunch. It was thrown together last minute and I wasn't about to go out in search of custard so as a stand-in I've got a side of greek yogurt (apple cinnamon flavored at that ... EEP!). From what I've read Matt wasn't actually eating fish fingers when the scene was filmed and I do have those so I'm calling it even. Along with the fish and yogurt I have a bed of alfredo noodles, and used provolone to make the wi-fi connection and TARDIS.
And because no Doctor Who lunch is complete without YouTubeage:
Game of Thrones returns tonight and of course some of the Edible Geekery crew decided we needed to celebrate with a mini hop! After you're done here, click on the button at the bottom to head on over to see what's going on at BentoForKidlet!
I had a million and a half ideas of what I wanted to do. I've watched some previews and have looked at tons of pictures for Season 3 and when I saw that two of my favorite young British actors are joining the show representing House Reed I knew I had to continue the trend from my past GoT lunches and do a lunch for their family:
I've seen several different versions of the House Reed crest but it always has a gatorish lizardish type black creature on a green background so I used a cookie cutter and some coloring and my mini letter cutters to turn some provolone into a crest. It's sitting on top of some ravioli with some Mini-Oreos and cocktail sausages in the small compartments.
And I couldn't help the little shout-out to Eddard Stark. After all, House Reed has been devoted to House Stark for thousands of years ....
In case you haven't seen them, here are the original four:
Now, don't forget to go check out the rest of the hop!
Happy Pi Day!!! Being a very important Geeky Holiday we're doing another Edible Geekery Blog Hop! After you take a look at what I've got, click the button at the bottom to hop on over to see what's next and keep going until you get back here.
Of course, I'm celebrating with a Doctor Who lunch. You should know by now that if there's something to be celebrated there's a very chance that I'll do so with Doctor Who. Or Supernatural. I was debating the Supernatural when I got a notification on my cell phone. My notification sound at the moment is The Doctor and Sky saying "RoseTylerMarthaJonesDonnaNobleTARDIS." That got me thinking of the episode it came from, "Midnight." One of the other tests of Sky's duplication skills came from the square root of Pi ... and roast beef ... and bananas ... and ...
Here's the lunch:
Roast beef with mashed potatoes, gravy and mixed past veggies with provolone cheese, banana chips, and Cheese Doodle-Os (just because) packed in an Easy Lunchbox with my favorite TARDIS napkin.
It's Politicians week over at Bento Blog Network and while I've already linked up my Abraham Lincon Vampire Hunter lunch I immediately started to think of some of my favorite fictional politicians ... which, of course, had to include Harold Saxon.
Packed in my new monbento box, I have ravioli in the top layer & mixed vegetables in the bottom.
My TARDIS napkin fits in the lid.
And because no Doctor Who lunch is complete without at least one clip:
The geeks have been unleashed yet again and this time we're getting all lovey-dovey for Valentine's Day!
So, after you take a look at My Bloody Geeky Valentine, take a stroll down Lover's Lane on over to BentoForKidlet by clicking on the button at the end (and then click it again there to continue!).
I'm geeking out over my love for Supernatural once again ... and, specifically, Cas and his love of ... hamburgers? (Don't judge the fallen angel. They make him very happy.)
Top Section: mixed vegetables with provolone words
Bottom Section: mini hamburgers (aka cut-up sliders), provolone Castiel
The last Angry Birds Star Wars lunch for at least a while ... so, of course, we have to end with Darth Vader Pig!
Darth Vader Pig is drawn onto a PB&J sandwich. There are also grapes, Angry Bird Gummies, Turkey Bites and cut string cheese.
Hopefully next week I can get back to making book lunches ...
John had originally asked for a Tie-Fighter Pig for today's lunch but it wasn't playing nicely so a Stormtrooper it is! The sandwich is, of course, pb&j and is sitting on grapes with Angry Bird Gummies and star crackers. He also has a tub of yogurt (unpictured).
The box is one of my boxes from All Things For Sale that he asked to use. I just couldn't say no!
I love a good love story. When that love story happens in the Whoniverse it's even better! One of my favorite couples is Madame Vastra (a Silurian) and Jenny (a human).
John picked out the YouTube clip for the post:
I made the lunch:
Packed in EasyLunchboxes Brights with a Mini Dipper for dressing.
FunBites Luv-It was used to cut the cheese hearts scattered here and there.
The Victorian gas-lamp picks holding my tomato chunks were a gift from a friend.
I find it more than slightly annoying that I can draw aliens better than humans ... but it is what it is.
So how does a geek celebrate the birthday of A. A. Milne -- creator of Winnie the Pooh?
With a Doctor Pooh lunch, of course!
The close-up:
The full lunch! Rotini with pepperoni & provolone packed in +EasyLunchboxesBrights, with blueberry yougurt in a Mini Dipper and mini peanut butter cups on the side:
In Angry Birds Star Wars C3PO & R2D2 appear on special levels. Probably because eggs aren't easy to work with ;)
Everyone's favorite droids are hard cooked eggs. I left C3POs egg soaking overnight in a water/color wash in order to get him the right color. John also has a cheese stick, Mini Slim Jim, tiny star peanut butter sandwiches, Angry Bird Cheese Nips, grapes and pig gummies.
