Boiled Salmon Rice Bento

September 30, 2009 Bento Love

No bento for Mr. Pikko today since he didn’t need one today. Tomorrow we’re having an office fondue party, which sounds really good. I’ll be posting a book review and hopefully my new contest as well.
Today I’m trying a third bento recipe from Easy Japanese Cooking: Bento Love, which is the Boiled Salmon Rice Bento. [...]

The Three Obentos!

August 12, 2009 Beef

Let it be known that when you’re on a bento blogging hiatus and people start posting nasty comments about your slackass or your aunties fire up the coconut wireless wondering if you’re still alive, it’s probably time to pick up your good old Wordpress pen and start writing again. I do apologize to everyone who [...]

Piano Bento (374)

July 7, 2009 Beef

I went to Costco on Sunday and in a moment of weakness, against my better judgment, I bought the two pack of tofu. I’ve bought this several times before and I can never finish it off. Usually I eat up one block then forget about the other and find it later on, usually a month [...]

Onigiri Brigade (Bento 371)

June 17, 2009 Chicken

Someone commented yesterday to say that my plant looks like radish seed pods, so I looked it up and the flowers matched and the pods look the same. I went outside to check again and sure enough, there’s a pathetically skinny looking daikon under the dirt now. Apparently people like to eat radish seed pods, [...]

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. [...]

Happy Boy’s Day Bento (352)

May 5, 2009 Chicken

Today is Day 2 of the Pacific Rim Conference, but I’m currently at home trying to get an appointment with my doctor for my finger, which looks like it’s infected. It’s finally past his office hours, but still just the machine. I obviously need a less popular, yet still competent internist. The joint stings when [...]

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. [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Sushi Bento (328)

March 17, 2009 Sushi

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, which I remember as the day that you’d get pinched in elementary school by the girls when you forgot to wear green and pinched by the boys for wearing green. You just can’t win in that cutthroat environment I tell ya. In the spirit of the day, I’ve made a [...]
