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 [...]

August 12, 2009 Beef

With so much going on in my life behind the scenes, there’s almost no time for blogging about bentos, so this post has a whopping three lunches to show off!

Lasagna Bento, Garden Update, and Cake Pix

May 21, 2009 Garden

Since I made two trays of lasagna for dinner for Baby Girl’s birthday, we ate that for dinner again last night and I have even more of it for lunch today. It’s kinda funny how she’s mirroring my childhood likes. She has the same favorite color I did as a kid and the same favorite [...]

Miss Octopus Bento (344)

April 14, 2009 Products

I didn’t sketch this one last night like I was supposed to. Instead, I found myself vegetating on the couch watching the pathetic thing that Heroes has become. Seriously, how can a show that was so good in its first season have fallen so hard? Why do I still watch, you say? Hush, you! For [...]

Adventures in Bentomaking 101

April 4, 2009 Chicken

Today I taught the first of two beginner bento classes for the Temari Center, a center for Asian & Pacific arts here in Honolulu. As is to be expected with me, Mrs. Procrastination, I was cramming prep work for the class last night while doing the cooking as well. I dragged the family to Costco [...]

Goldilocks and the Three Bears Bento (330)

March 19, 2009 Charaben

Today I had a dermatologist appointment at 10 am, so I got up later than usual to start my bento. The stupid part is that last night I had only drawn out my box and where the rice would go, so the rest was all impromptu bentoing. End result is that I ended up late [...]

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 [...]
