The Last of the Mochiko (Bento 325)

March 10, 2009 Chicken

Now that I’ve come up with such a cool post subject, I wish I’d done a Last of the Mohicans themed bento or something. Maybe before I eat it I can just yell at my bento, “I WILL FIND YOU!” The office might have me committed, but I’d sure have a great laugh.

Anyway, while normally I’d be celebrating a long weekend, Mr. Pikko has to work so that means for the [...]
