This is a spur-of-the-moment entry for the first GCM Bento Challenge - "Animals". Organic wheat vanilla French toast fishies, served with an oyster shell of warm maple syrup and grape half "bubbles". The baby got a modified, grapeless version. She's recovering from illness and was more interested in her favorite comfort food standby (rye toast buttered with Earth Balance), but big brother *devoured* this plate plus about seven more French toast "fishies". The plastic fish cutter I used created four cutouts per slice of oversized bread, with mostly crust-only trimmings. I won't bother doing cutouts for French toast again, as you can see so little of the original shape after the egg batter and cooking process. This was a fun and yummy experiment, though! :)
