And thus, with a little help from a friend, this idea came into play! As you may not know, my little monster is allergic to a few things, and thus cannot eat a few surprises that I could cook up but can't anymore. Today we looked in the cupboard and found hot dogs and long rice and had SQUIDS for lunch!
SQUIDS? Yes Squids.
The first thing we did was put the squid together. First we stuck in five or six long pieces of rice (long spaghetti works too, but that package wasn't open yet and I think there is wheat in the ones that were in the house). There is an image found below that shows off what it should look like. Don't put them in too far, or else the squid won't look that great. Keep in mind that if the 'tenticals' of the squid are stuck in too far as well, they may not cook as well as they should.
I made a second hot dog in case if the monster decided that he didn't like the squid, but he did watch me make the squid the entire time so he knew what he was getting into. After the squid had cooked I showed him the similarities it had between the rice he could eat and the hot dog that I was going to eat but he ended up stealing...
Our finished SQUID looked like this (image found below). One slight problem, the tentacles got a little muddled together when they came out of the pot, but they still looked pretty good to eat! I cut up the squid to his request and he realized that the SQUID was actually just his favorite food: Hot dog! And my favorite part was when he ate the whole squid up, tentacles and all!
If this works for you please let me know! Have a yummy lunch!
