The Lilek Penguin

Ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 12-16 whole black olives, approximately
• 1 carrot or orange bell pepper
• 6 toothpicks

Directions

1. 1

   Hard boil the eggs. Drain, set aside to cool then peel.

2. 2

   BODY: Cut a small slice off the wide end of each egg. (Cut the slice so that the penguin can stand up on its own.).

3. 3

   FLIPPERS: Slice three olives in quarters lengthwise. Cut a small slit down each side of the "body" of an egg and insert one olive piece on each side.

4. 4

   CHEST: Cut approximately 1/2" sliver of black olive lengthwise. Make a tiny slit down the middle of the hard boiled egg and carefully insert the olive sliver.

5. 5

   HEAD: Place one toothpick down the center of the top (narrow end) of each hard boiled egg. Attach the whole olive with the hole in the center of the penguin's face.

6. 6

   NOSE: cut six small triangular pieces of carrot or bell pepper-large enough so that it will fit snugly in the olive hole and not fall out. Place the carrot or bell pepper piece in the olive hole.

7. 7

   To serve, arrange the endangered penguins on an irregularly shaped piece of styrofoam.
