The Princess and the Edamame

February 24, 2010 Charaben

Read my review of a two-tier stainless steel lunch box sponsored by ECO Lunchboxes and see the cute little carrot-haired egg princess I have in my bento today.

I woke up this morning feeling ambitious, so I started to cook one of the last two gigantor top sirloin steaks that Mr. Pikko bought for me at Costco last weekend. The pack cost $15 and the steaks were so huge that I could make two meals out of each one, which meant that I [...]

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!

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, [...]

Donburi Bento and Class Photos

May 18, 2009 Chicken

Today I have oyako donburi, but in a bento I put together rather hastily so that I could have a relaxing morning. I took the picture at work. I’d brought green onions to chop up and put on top before the photo, but I found myself to be extremely lazy, so that ended that. The [...]

Teddy Bear Bento (340)

April 6, 2009 Chicken

Mr. Pikko and I spent the night vegetating on the couch catching up on Celebrity Apprentice until like 1:30 AM, so when I woke up this morning I just tossed stuff together and was able to make this bento in less than 20 minutes. I’m proud to say that I’m finally using one of the [...]

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 [...]

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. Before I [...]

Lazy Bento and More TV (324)

March 9, 2009 Fish

Mr. Pikko was kind enough to cut up 2 hours of news for me to get this clip of my A Shirt for Sawyer bento shown on KITV News This Morning last week Thursday. This week my Aunty C will be handing off printouts of both bentos to get to the cast via some complicated [...]
