Goodbye, My Baby (Lost Bento 6)

April 3, 2009 Chicken

This is a bit late, but better than none at all, right? For my Lost themed bento #6, I decided to pull from this week’s episode which had me crying like a little wussy girl, just like when I cried as Sun visited the cemetary and when Desmond talked on the phone on the boat. [...]

Hasty Bento (332)

March 23, 2009 Chicken

If you haven’t yet done so, please be sure to make a pledge to enter yourself in my drawing for a Stainless Steel Bento Box. This giveaway is sponsored by Life Without Plastic.
I woke up this morning so full of nerves, so anxious to receive a call from casting that I just threw this together. [...]

15 Has Landed in My Bento (329)

March 18, 2009 Beef

LOST is back tonight, which means all is right with the world. While I am a LOST fan, I am not a rabid fan that knows everything. Usually when I’m planning one of these I try to think about what this week’s episode will be about. While the previews show five of the Oceanic Six [...]

Fried Fish Bento (327)

March 12, 2009 Fish

Now that the agony of a Wednesday-without-Lost is over, I can go back to living life. Thanks to my loud and enthusiastic singing of “Gives You Hell” by All American Rejects, this is now Buddy’s favorite song. Me being a mommy that grew up in the wild jungles of the Big Island with two parents [...]

Hello Kitty Bento (326)

March 11, 2009 Pork

I’ve been told by my cousin’s husband’s aunty who reads my blog that she can’t find bento boxes in Hilo. Well! I must respectfully beg to differ. We went to eat saimin at Nori’s before Baby Girl and I hopped back onto the plane and next door to the restaurant was a store called Nori’s [...]

A Shirt for Sawyer (Lost Bento 3)

March 4, 2009 Chicken

When I came up with the idea for this bento earlier in the week, I immediately regretted using yellow omelet to be the blank slate for Ben Linus last week. It seemed really redundant to use yellow omelet two weeks in a row. This little annoyance aside, I wanted to do this one anyway because [...]

Hinamatsuri Bento (320 and 321)

March 3, 2009 Chicken

Yesterday on the way home I was wondering what we should get for Baby Girl since today is Hinamatsuri (Girl’s Day). After a bit, it dawned on me that I have the ability to give her a great gift… a bento to take to school! A lot of people assume that I make all my [...]

Roast Pork Bento (318)

February 27, 2009 Pork

My two kids are increasingly hilarious together now that Buddy has really ramped up his speaking and imitation. I love that he’s already picked up that silly Hawaii speech habit of ending sentences with “yeah?”
For example, “Mommy, that bird flies fast, yeah?”
Baby Girl probably likes being able to have conversations with him too, but I [...]

Meat Loaf Bento (317)

February 26, 2009 Beef

This morning I was woken up at around 5:20 by the sound of my cell ringing. It was my Tarutaru ringtone, so by the time I’d stumbled over to my purse, I realized it was either Erika or my aunty calling. It turned out to be the latter. I ended up missing her call, but [...]

I Put the Ben in Bento (316)

February 25, 2009 Charaben

It’s Wednesday again and after last week’s extremely popular LOST bento, the idea for another immediately popped into my head. When I first started bentoing, my Allakhazam co-workers thought it was hilarious to ask something along the line of, “Who is Ben and why do you have his toe?” This horrible joke has finally done [...]
