If you’re a New Orleans Saints fan, then this is the perfect bento for you! See the third in my series of football bentos and find out what I used to make the helmet in food form.

Ho Ho Ho!

December 11, 2009 Beef

Last weekend I taped The Santa Clausefor the kids because when I was in high school I thought that was a pretty cute movie. About 10 minutes into watching it with the kids, I started thinking maybe it wasn’t such a great idea since the plot rotates around one’s belief in Santa and both my [...]

Pilgrim Bento (417)

November 23, 2009 Chicken

I had a rather productive weekend that included seeing New Moon (which was surprisingly really good), rearranging the kids’ room to better use the space, and… damn, that’s it? Oh, I made fresh strawberry ice cream. That’s right. It was good stuff too, though I still haven’t figured out how to get my ice cream [...]

Halloween Wrap-up and Two Bentos (411)

November 5, 2009 Chicken

As you may have guessed by my sudden lapse in posts, after Halloween was over, I was burnt out. Halloween themed bentos, an 8-hour pumpkin carving session, a pumpkin carving contest with over 130 entries to judge, trick or treating, a disastrous cupcake situation, and a disgusting dinner (below) all combined to simply do me [...]

Catching Up

October 7, 2009 Bento Love

I’ve got three bentos to post today since I’ve been falling behind on blogging about them. In my continued love affair with Kentaro Kobayashi’s book Easy Japanese Cooking: Bento Love, I’ve got three bentos using two more of his recipes. I swear, this is hands-down the most I’ve ever used a single cookbook. Maybe it’s [...]

Beef Sukiyaki and Salted Chicken Bentos

September 29, 2009 Beef

Last night, while I was giving the monsters a bath, Buddy started complaining that his hip hurt. He made little mopey faces and I felt bad for him. Then I realized that he was hurting because of his freestyle capoeira moves last night during a “show” that the kids put on. I have no freaking [...]

Chicken Tofu Bento (286)

September 10, 2009 Chicken

This has been one fantastically exciting week for me. First of all, I finally got a call to do some background work for LOST. All I can really say is that I loved it, I’d do it again in a heartbeat, and that the other extras I met there were great fun to hang around [...]

Yoshida Sauce Chicken Bento (382)

August 19, 2009 Chicken

Today something small, but pivotal happened. Mr. Pikko has an eye infection and had to stay home, so I had to take the kids to school myself, which doesn’t sound like any big deal except that we’ve been walking Baby Girl in to her kindergarten class all this time, slowly waiting for the day when [...]

Onigiri Brigade (Bento 371)

June 17, 2009 Chicken

Someone commented yesterday to say that my plant looks like radish seed pods, so I looked it up and the flowers matched and the pods look the same. I went outside to check again and sure enough, there’s a pathetically skinny looking daikon under the dirt now. Apparently people like to eat radish seed pods, [...]
