It was quite difficult to get it right and I had to use one of Dad's sharp knives to cut the roll because a normal knife wouldn't. The eyes were to hard to make round out of Nori so I used carrot. I think it looks better the Dad's square eyes! What do you think?
The rice was so sticky it held everyting together and the seaweed melted in your mouth. I really liked it as a packed lunch but if I was making it again I'd add much more carrot and cheese.

Today's school dinner has been sent in by Aimee from near Brandenburg in Germany (14 seconds because Dad held the globe upside down to confuse me!) Aimee says 'My mom helps me to send you the photo of my lunch today and to write you this mail.'
'We can select from a choice of three meals each day. My choice today was "Hefeklöße mit Vanillesoße" or how you would say Yeast dumplings with vanilla sauce. Usually they scatter poppy about it, but I don't like poppy on my dumplings. For dessert, we can always get something from a separate table. Today there were apples and vegetables. The drink (water) is free for all children. Our lunch price is - I think - 1,50 Euro, I think it's £ 1,21.

I've not visited Germany yet so I can't imagine how a yeast dumpling tastes but you have given it a good food-o-meter and health rating so it must be delicious!

What is a polytunnel?
ReplyDeleteGreat penguins by the way.
It's a greenhouse :) We have a small green polytunnel too for cucumbers and tomatoes and strawberries.
Deletewonderful creations for lunch! love yours and your dad's versions! my kids were lucky to get a pbj and goldfish crackers! :)
ReplyDeleteHad to look up what a polytunnel was - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytunnel. Do you have a small one for the family, or larger that you share?
ReplyDeleteExcellent penguins!
What a lovely salad! You grow all of that?
ReplyDeleteI think your penguins are great! You can use scissors to make to eyes, by the way. I think they're better than the knife =)
ReplyDeleteSCISSORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8p
DeleteI love your penguins! I think your blog is adorable... I have your new posts emailed to me daily and really enjoy them. I work for a school in Hawaii called Kamehameha Schools and although I don't get a school lunch, I do love to photograph some of the delicious food I am eating. There are many kinds of Asian foods in Hawaii because there is such a mix of ethnicities on the islands. Sometime if I get a chance to get a school lunch, I will send a picture.
ReplyDeleteQuite the winning penguin! I love the carrot eyes you have for your penguins! Wouldn't you say your Dad made a great effort? Lovely lunches!
ReplyDeleteHey veg!
ReplyDeleteI'm following your blog quite a while now - and I really love it! Keep it up, girl.
By the way: your penguins look fantastic - but the one from your dad are looking great, too=) It's very creative!
The yeast dumplings are really yummi;) If you should ever come to Germany, try it;)
Take care, lots of love from Münsterland, Germany.
Hello Veg!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and follow it frequently. Your penguins are adorable! I heard that you can use a hole punch to punch out eyes or different shapes on the nori. Keep up the great work!
This one is for Veg's dad:
ReplyDeleteWhile it's obvious that Veg is an extremely bright, intelligent young lady, I think all of us that have raised children of that age know that there's no way Veg could keep up with this viral-blog without a lot of help.
So a tip of the hat to you, Dad, for being willing to "put your money where your mouth is" so to speak, and putting in all those background hours.
You did well!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm Leire from Spain. My school is Artaza-Romo, I eat at school and all the people says that is the worse food in the world. haha interesting blog!

Hi Veg
ReplyDeleteI always read your blog in my English class. I love it. And you are only 9 yars old.
kisses
Hi, My name is Patricia, I life in Spain and all our class visit your blog all the days in english class, because we like some much!
ReplyDeleteKisses
Very inspiring. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Hi Veg! Two lovely sushi and salad is enough for you and your dad, huh? Ohh, btw, I think "yeast dumpling" is kind of like Chinese bread, it's steamed not baked though. It goes well with sweet sauce or sour cabbage.
ReplyDeleteYou and your dad made adorable sushi rolls. Maybe my boyfriend and I can try that out. Good to know a sharp knife is best used.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog. Keep up the good work.
nice blog!!
ReplyDeletei just came and ur nickname is Veg??
I'm impressed by your sushi!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried it with some pickled radish rolled up inside (sometimes called yellow radish in asian food stores, but the whiter the better)?
I wish you all the best,
nick
Hello there! I love your rice rolls but to make them even healthier I would recommend adding a bit of protein to them. Try some tuna and sweetcorn maybe? Or flaked salmon, if you like it. My mum is Japanese and she'd always add either some fish inside the rice or pickle inside and serve with a bit of meat or fish, then the meal is more balanced!
ReplyDeleteLove the creativity and your enthusiasm for recording your school lunches though! Keep up the good work, and congratulations on raising so much for Mary's Meals!
Great Blog. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to send you a copy of time-travel mystery, Missing in Time by Catherine Harriott.
If you liked the sushi rolls you might try making rice balls-- same idea but they're a bit bigger-- usually about 7-8" across and patted into a triangle shape. You can put something inside them as well; my favorite is a bit of cooked salmon. They make for a great lunch. :)
ReplyDeleteI've had yeast dumpling in Austria, they are yummy. Over there they have a sweet version that has strong plum jam inside, they're served with a custard like sauce and sprinkled with ground poppy seeds and sugar sprinkled over.
ReplyDeleteI am a 9 year old Swedish girl living in England and I am very interested in you blog. How does the food have to be to get 10/10 in food-o-meter?

Great blog kiddo. Keep it up and we will be checking out regularly. We are in Australia, and it is interesting to see what you take for lunch and what you get at school.
ReplyDeleteThe roll on the left reminds me of Angry birds. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Veg, i like both eyes of the penguins rice balls... yours, with carrots and yours daddy´s eyes with nori...
