Star Trek Into Darkness : An Edible Geekery Blog Hop

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Edible Geekery. Its mission: to explore strange new culinary tools, to seek out new foods and new combinations, to boldly go where no lunch has gone before. Join us as we travel through the dark reaches of fridge space and into the light of the school (or work) cafeteria and warp speed ahead until you dock back here. Damn it Jim, I'm a mom, not a torpedo technician!

The NCC-1701 Enterprise 

Spock: Captain, this ship will not fit.
James T. Kirk: IT WILL FIT, WILL FIT, WILL FIT!
[the ship scrapes through]
James T. Kirk: See, I told you it would fit!
Spock: I am not sure that qualifies.

In this lunch :

• Black beans and rice outer space
• Provolone and string cheese Enterprise - I used food coloring and a food-safe paint brush for the fine tip though you could achieve the same with edible markers

Scotty: The ship's dead, sir! She's gone!
James T. Kirk: No, she's not...

Science Officer Mr. Spock

Khan: Mr. Spock. The mind of the Enterprise. The fearless genius who ensures a calm force of intelligence guides their every mission. But look deeper and you will see an outsider who does not belong, a man of two worlds. This tears him apart, the constant battle between what he thinks and what he feels. What does he do? Does he follow his head, embracing logic and the path of reason? Or does he follow his heart, knowing the emotions he cannot control may destroy him? I will help him decide... 

In this lunch :

• Ham sandwich with provolone Spock
• Wheat crackers
• Carrots and Star Trek emblem
• Star Trek strawberries and blue berries

Spock: I will be brief. In your travels, did you ever encounter a man named Khan?
Spock Prime: As you know I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk and yours alone. That being said, Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous episode the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you.
Spock: Did you defeat him?
Spock Prime: At great cost, yes.

Now travel at warp speed to Jessie at Chaos and Confections and see what  she has discovered.

 

Impossible Astronaut Day! - Blog hop

The Whovians at Edible Geekery are at it again. Today we pay homage to the anniversary of "The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon" episode which was dedicated to Elisabeth Sladen AKA Sarah Jane Smith who passed from cancer in 2011. She was one of my favorite companions of all time. So please hop through these awesome Doctor Who inspired lunches, and don't blink until you've come back here.

The Impossible Astronaut

"  I wear Stetson's now. Stetson's are cool" ~ The Doctor

In this lunch :

• The Doctor's Stetson - carrot slices
• Amy's Apple - made from watermelon and a grape
• The Impossible Astronaut River Song - Peanut butter and jelly with sprinkle details
• Flag - Yes I know it takes place in Utah, not England, but Alex Kingston is English
• Headless Doriam Maldovar - Blue peep in  graham cracker box. 
• Sands of Lake Silencio - pirates booty

Dorium Maldovar: But you're a fool nonetheless. It's all still waiting for you: the fields of Trenzalore, the fall of the Eleventh, and the question!
The Doctor: [salutes] Goodbye, Dorium!
Dorium Maldovar: [as Doctor exits] The first question! The question that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight. The question you've been running from all your life. Doctor who? Doctor who? Doc-tor *who*?

The Silence will Fall...or Hatch?

We made this during the week leading up to Easter while we anxiously awaited the return of our beloved Doctor Who, you can read that post here. The Silence pic is from the banners we made for Green Monkey's 6th Birthday, you can read that post here.

Fish Fingers and Custard Day!

What? You have no idea what I'm talking about? Well April 3rd was the first airing of Fish Fingers and Custard episode on Doctor Who 2 years ago so each year Whovians celebrate by serving fish fingers and custard.

Now my son is not actually a fan of fish fingers, nor putting them in custard so we took some imagination liberties when we served it as a dessert for his 6th Birthday for that we made vanilla pudding and served it with lady fingers.

Today for lunch we got a little creative with our sandwich.

In this lunch :

• Fish + Fingers (get it?) peanut butter and jelly
• Vanilla pudding
• Lady finger
• Amy's Apple

Lightspeed Star Wars

 We have a packed morning so here's our runnig out the door fast bento for Blue monkey.

In this lunch : 

• Tie fighter and 3 planets jelly toast
• Fruity cheerios
• Strawberries

 Now to have a little more fun. Let's see what all the other Whovians are up to and join up at the linky party. Add your Doctor Who themed lunches below.
