Onigiri Treats

January 5, 2010 Baking

Most people new to bento eventually read about a mysteriously named, popular food item called ‘onigiri’. It’s a bit of an odd word, don’t you think? How do you pronounce it? Japanese would say oh-neegeeree. I’ve heard others say oh-nee-gear-ee, but if you say it that way, I’m going to bet you also say sam-er-eye [...]

Christmas Gift Bento and Happy News

December 18, 2009 Christmas

Christmas is a week away and my to-do shopping list is just as long as it was last week. *slaps forehead* This weekend I will get it all done, seriously! Baby Girl has been getting increasingly crabby at nights because of lack of naps at school and such, which means she’s been throwing tantrums and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Tonkatsu Bento Buddies

November 20, 2009 Pork

Wow, a two week bento hiatus. I feel like such a… turkey. Ha ha! Last week I kind of lost my drive after Monday, then come Sunday, just when I had plans for several cute Thanksgiving bento and some book reviews, I got sick. I ended up feeling better Tuesday night, but my fever came [...]

Smiling Daisies Bento (413)

November 6, 2009 Beef

Is it really Friday already? Is it already November? I really don’t know where the year went, but the coming of November reminds me that I have to start Christmas shopping. I hate being that one rushing home thinking, “DID A BOX COME FOR ME???” because I didn’t order early enough. I remember one year [...]

Halloween Wrap-up and Two Bentos (411)

November 5, 2009 Chicken

As you may have guessed by my sudden lapse in posts, after Halloween was over, I was burnt out. Halloween themed bentos, an 8-hour pumpkin carving session, a pumpkin carving contest with over 130 entries to judge, trick or treating, a disastrous cupcake situation, and a disgusting dinner (below) all combined to simply do me [...]

His and Her Bentos (407)

October 29, 2009 Bento Love

Sigh, I was doing so good with my Halloween theme and then I had to go and sit on the couch last night… Before I knew it, I was asleep and there was no more time to bento or sketch. Only time to hazily tell Mr. Pikko to please notify me when I should move [...]
