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 [...]

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 [...]

Smoke Monster Bento and Autograph

March 25, 2009 Chicken

Since today is the day I could theoretically have been on some Lost set, I woke up really pouty and uninspired for a Lost bento. The kids must be rubbing off on me, since I’m acting like a 4 year old. Anyway, I thought of something on the fly and made some really weird looking [...]

Sidestreet Chicken (285)

January 8, 2009 Chicken

I had more Gina’s leftovers for my bento yesterday, but it turns out, a fly had an appointment with my bento ointment. Usually I set my alarm for 5:30, wake up, set it to 5:45, go back to bed, then repeat in 15 minute increments until 6:15 or 6:30. I find that even with this [...]

Santa Bento (282)

December 24, 2008 Chicken

We went to Costco today to get dessert for today so we can fatten up while watching the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl this afternoon. I bought a bag of bell peppers, this one no doubt doomed to rot just like all my others. I used the red one to make this Santa bento today.

I used cheese [...]

Oyako Donburi

December 15, 2008 Chicken

Yesterday a miracle occurred. I rummaged through my fridge and found all the ingredients to make a complete meal!
Usually when I feel like cooking I will announce to my family in grand fashion, “TONIGHT… WE SHALL DINE ON…. (Insert meal here)” and then I’ll go look at my pantry, my fridge, my freezer and I’ll [...]

Cornflake Chicken (275)

November 20, 2008 Chicken

I had a conference at the Ala Moana hotel on Monday, which was why I didn’t post anything. I was too busy stuffing my face with little citrus cream cheese pastries and Steak Diane, steamed fish, and watermelon. I ate a TON of watermelon and more cream cheese bites than I care to admit. The [...]

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 [...]

I got scoldings from one of my coworkers already. She said I wasn’t supposed to mail the whole office about the giveaway! Oops! Meanwhile Kaolian, one of my Allakhazam co-workers began wailing when he saw how many people have [...]
