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 [...]

September 28, 2009 Bento Love

I’ve got three bentos to post today. One is from Friday that I was too embarrassed about to blog, but since I’m writing today about my new ones, I figure I might as well throw the ugalee one in too.
Ugalee is, of course, toddler speak for ugly. This word is much more malicious and therefore [...]

The Three Obentos!

August 12, 2009 Beef

Let it be known that when you’re on a bento blogging hiatus and people start posting nasty comments about your slackass or your aunties fire up the coconut wireless wondering if you’re still alive, it’s probably time to pick up your good old Wordpress pen and start writing again. I do apologize to everyone who [...]

Piano Bento (374)

July 7, 2009 Beef

I went to Costco on Sunday and in a moment of weakness, against my better judgment, I bought the two pack of tofu. I’ve bought this several times before and I can never finish it off. Usually I eat up one block then forget about the other and find it later on, usually a month [...]

Fish House, M.D.

June 11, 2009 kids

I was going to post this last night, but then my darned USB card reader had to go and die after less than three months use. I made sure to give it a big poopy review on Amazon just to get even. This morning I was complaining about it to Mr. Pikko and how I [...]
