Ichiben Review

June 9, 2009 Restaurants

When we went to eat at Spicy Ahi last week, we saw a place with a big NOW OPEN sign and much to my delight, it was a ramen shop called Ichiben. There was a woman outside handing out flyers, so I took one and we decided we’d eat there the next day for dinner.

Ichiben [...]

Mac and Cheese Bento (367)

June 2, 2009 Pork

This morning when I looked in my pantry, I discovered five boxes of Macaroni and Cheese that expired in February, so I decided I better get started on eating it up now. It turned out better than I expected in a bento.

I’d have posted this a lot earlier, but have been busy with work today. [...]

Since today is one of our holidays, we got to spend the day at home with the kids. Grandpa and Grandma J had my niece and nephew, so we planned an outing. Grandma J had heard about these really good bentos from Makino Chaya, so she offered to buy lunch and we ended up meeting [...]

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 [...]

Shrimp & Egg Patties (283)

January 5, 2009 Restaurants

Christmas in 2008 was very good to me bento-wise. All three of my gifts were bento items! Mr. Pikko and the kiddies got me a Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar, Silver, which I’ve wanted for forever. Elmer from JPButton.com was in a store in Japan when he saw a bento book, which he [...]

Me and my brother pitched in to bring my mom home from Vegas for the Christmas week, so my in-laws cooked her a nice Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, I wasn’t [...]

Chicken Marsala (256)

September 23, 2008 Chicken

This is a really late post because I made the extra effort to have my bento ready earlier than usual this morning, then forgot to upload the picture in my hastiness turning off the computer. I find that the comp is the reason I’m late every morning, so I’ve decided that after a certain time [...]
