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 [...]

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 [...]

Vegas and the Twilight Slowpoke

July 27, 2009 Garden

Just to warn people, this blog post is going to be epicly long.
As people that follow me on Twitter know, I haven’t been posting because I had to take a trip up to Vegas last weekend with my brother to visit my mom, who was feeling down and out and lonely. I spent four days [...]

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 [...]

Pikko POLL

April 27, 2009 life

If you follow me on Twitter, you’d know that I didn’t have a bento on Friday because I was busy trying out for the Darwin award. I took my leftover miso chicken in a Ziploc bag out of the freezer and saw that the pieces were stuck together. To separate them, what did I do? [...]

Furikake Frenzy!

February 5, 2009 Contests

Growing up in Hawaii usually means that as a child, you automatically become a furikake addict. At some point in many Hawaii parents’s early years, the desperate attempts to get children to eat their food lead to the various bottles of salty Asian sprinkles. Suddenly, the “yuck!” rice in the bowl becomes magically delicious. No [...]

Hilo Trip

January 26, 2009 Restaurants

If you’re following me on Twitter, you probably already know that I went to Hilo this past weekend with Baby Girl to attend my uncle’s funeral. It wasn’t a happy reason to go home, but a lot of happy memories came out of the trip, which was a really good thing. Aside from spending some [...]

A Farewell Bento

January 14, 2009 Charaben

The bento I’ve made today is not something I’ve ever done before and not something I plan on eating. I realize this might make some people feel awkward, especially if they don’t read my blog or know what I do here every day. Bear with me though, as I’ve found that over the last year [...]

Walk Now for Autism

June 10, 2007 life

I haven’t had any bentos this weekend due to some sick kiddos. We are hoping to go to the zoo or beach tomorrow since it’s Kamehameha Day so perhaps I’ll have one to post then, if they’re feeling better.
Anyway, my post today is off-topic to help my nephew reach his pledge goal in the Walk [...]
