Spaghetti Bento (375)

July 13, 2009 Pasta

Just as a reminder, this is the last week to submit an entry for my 500k Bento Contest! If you’ve been procrastinating, now is the time to get going on your entry!

I made spaghetti last night for dinner and used “hapa noodles”, which got me some complaints from Baby Girl and she had the nerve [...]

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, [...]

Cinnamoroll Bento and Garden Update!

June 15, 2009 Fish

We had a busy, busy weekend that started off with a family potluck at my aunty’s house. It was the first time almost all the second cousins were together to play, yay! Saturday we took the kids to the Urban Garden Center in Pearl City. We’d seen the place all the time from the freeway [...]

Garden Update

October 17, 2008 Garden

Today is Boss’s Day, so we’re having a party and ordering out from California Pizza Kitchen. A couple days ago I was checking the plants and finally found two watermelons!!! Woohoo!

Now all I have to do is remember to water them all the time so that they don’t shrivel up like my last ones. The [...]

Garden Update

September 17, 2008 Garden

Yesterday Mr. Pikko had Libby’s manapua (DA best!) and pork hash and it was soooooo good. Seriously, if you ever want THE best manapua on the island, Libby’s in Kalihi is the place to go. I haven’t had theirs in a while, but damn it tasted GOOD. I took one for my lunch today, but [...]

Meatballs

September 4, 2008 Chicken

I said the following yesterday:
I’ve since thinned this pot out, moving one sprout to another pot with smaller plants and then spreading the remaining two apart to give them more room. Hopefully they don’t die to my root meddling.
When I got home last night I went to go peek at the plants. Lo and behold, [...]

Ebi Curry Noodle (186)

February 25, 2008 Pasta

I heard a really cute joke last week on Leahey and Leahey Live that I forgot to tell.
What did the rice say to the spam?
Let’s get nori.
LOL!! OMG, I think that joke is so cute. I guess you’d have to either be from Hawaii or love spam musubis to get it, but I find it [...]

Wraps & Watermelon Bento (140)

October 30, 2007 Turkey

I think this is my worst bento so far. It’s terribly underwhelming but all I had the time for this morning. On Sunday I wanted to eat the turkey wraps from Costco again so this holds the last 3 pieces leftover. I cut them in half to stow them away nicely but it turned out [...]

June Garden Update

June 24, 2007 Garden

I meant to post this yesterday, but ended up going shopping for clothes with Baby Girl. When I woke up yesterday I’d done what I’d once never thought possible, I broke through 130 lbs!! As of this morning I weighed 129.2 lbs! Since I am going to the Anime Expo in Long Beach, I needed [...]

Turkey Sandwich Bento

June 5, 2007 Sandwich

I was able to make my lightbox last night and it didn’t come out so good. So much for “couldn’t be easier to use”! I should have known that something labeled so easy was going to have the fine print “except for short dorky Asian girls named Crystal” where I wouldn’t see it. Good thing [...]
