Artistic Salad!!!...

This is my lunch for today,made for me by my Hubby Paul,LOL!!!
Every night Paul makes his lunch for work the next day & makes me a salad at the same time & he designs me something new each day,as a bit of fun.Every time I open my salad I never know what is gonna be there,yesterday it was Noughts & Crosses shaped salad LOL!!! But I have to say this is my fave so far,a face made from an Edam Cheese slice with beetroot hair!!!
I just had to share it with you,it's just the small things that sometimes make you smile the most & to me this is romantic!!!
Hope you are all enjoying your lunches,did you have anything as funny as mine,lol?!!! :o)xxx
