Ho Ho Ho!

December 11, 2009 Beef

Last weekend I taped The Santa Clausefor the kids because when I was in high school I thought that was a pretty cute movie. About 10 minutes into watching it with the kids, I started thinking maybe it wasn’t such a great idea since the plot rotates around one’s belief in Santa and both my [...]

The Three Obentos!

Goodbye, My Baby (Lost Bento 6)

April 3, 2009 Chicken

This is a bit late, but better than none at all, right? For my Lost themed bento #6, I decided to pull from this week’s episode which had me crying like a little wussy girl, just like when I cried as Sun visited the cemetary and when Desmond talked on the phone on the boat. [...]

Yakisoba (288)

January 13, 2009 bento

I was going absolutely bonkers last night trying and trying to figure out why the heck my comments re-direct was sending everyone to a 500 Internal Server Error page. I finally discovered that it was a comments plugin that was messing things up, so now things are back to normal. It’s a good thing too, [...]
