It’s beginning to look a lot like…

December 2, 2009 Christmas

…it’s time for Christmas bentos! :D After the Halloween and Thanksgiving bunch of seasonal bentos, having holiday themed lunches just seemed like the right thing to do from now on. I won’t curse myself by saying I’ll do a lot of Christmas bento because by now I’m sure you all have noticed that once I [...]

Gobble, Gobble! Turkey Bento (418)

November 24, 2009 Beef

It’s kind of funny that I’m doing Thanksgiving bentos with teriyaki foods, but since I’m not about to roast a turkey just to put some into an authentic turkey bento, the “real” Thanksgiving bentos will have to wait until next week. We’re buying our dinner from the Hawaii Prince this year, something that I admit [...]

The Anti-Climactic Bento 400

October 21, 2009 Charaben

I had meant to make Bento 400 over the weekend, but after a stomach virus began weaving its way through two family members, I had to put it off. Monday I stayed home with Baby Girl and then on Tuesday, she was fine and ready to go on a field trip which required….. home lunch!! [...]

Egg Salad Sammie Bento (370)

June 16, 2009 Sandwich

I still have no clue what the mystery plant in my yard is! To give people more clues, I popped open one of the small pods and found a single brown round “seed” thing. I popped it and liquid came out. The smell was slightly vinegar-ish. ??? The fish are still fine, though Mr. Pikko [...]

Lasagna Bento, Garden Update, and Cake Pix

May 21, 2009 Garden

Since I made two trays of lasagna for dinner for Baby Girl’s birthday, we ate that for dinner again last night and I have even more of it for lunch today. It’s kinda funny how she’s mirroring my childhood likes. She has the same favorite color I did as a kid and the same favorite [...]

Leftover Chinese Bento (323)

March 6, 2009 Chinese

My in-laws ordered out for Chinese food yesterday from Golden Dragon Seafood Restaurant and though the food was good, I think I still prefer the Aiea Chop Suey stuff. Their gau gee at this place was really good though.

I’ve had some pretty disgusting looking Chinese leftovers bentos, so this one definitely looks like an upgrade [...]

Turkey Sammie (266)

October 22, 2008 Sandwich

Grandma J gave me some turkey cold cuts she wasn’t going to use so I decided to eat up the last of our bread and use the cold cuts up today. I started off thinking I’d make a bunny shaped sandwich and a birdie shaped sandwich but it ended up being way too small for [...]
