Red Sausage Aliens for Bento

• 1 small red wiener sausage
• 1 Nori seaweed

1. Cut a sausage in half diagonally.
2. Slice off a circular part of the skin to make a face.
3. Make 3 cuts, as shown in the diagram, to create the arms and legs.
4. It's easiest to use a small pair of scissors to make the cuts.
5. Cook in the toaster oven until the arms and legs open up a bit.
6. Or you can boil them and the arms and legs will curl up even more.
7. Whichever way you want.
8. Stick on a face cut out of nori seaweed.
9. I tried sitting my martian on a meatball.
10. I made the cut for his legs too deep though, so he's rather long-legged...
11. I made demon martians for Setsubun by giving them horns made out of fried spaghetti.
12. These martians are going back home through a tunnel of white rice.
13. Say goodbye with this "Bye Bye Sausage Martian Bento"
14. I made this lunch to support my friend who was performing at a concert.
15. The martian has a guitar and everything.
16. Can you see it?
17. I made this for my friend who often sings and plays the ukelele for me.
18. You can't really see the ukulele though.
