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 [...]

I’m Back!

December 11, 2008 Chicken

I have three bentos to talk about today. I felt like I had to start back up again before my co-worker Junko came to riot at my desk tomorrow or something. She gets very upset when I don’t post for a long time, it cracks me up. It’s so nice to have a fan at [...]

I had the last of [...]

Visit to Square Enix

July 29, 2008 Chicken

Alrighty so someone finally commented asking if I’m on vacation so I figured I better quit the silence bit and get off my butt and post something before you all start to think I died or even worse, that I lost interest in bentomaking. *gasp* I’d mentioned that I would be attending Square Enix’s Premier [...]

Eggy Lunch (239)

July 9, 2008 Vegetarian

I went to eat lunch at Paesano in Manoa Marketplace yesterday, which was a nice surprise for me as I hadn’t really given that place more than a couple of glances in the past. The outside doesn’t look very impressive but the inside was very upscale and not what I was expecting at all. It [...]
