Morning!

Lunch is...top tier, spam and saracha fried rice! bottome tier: Traders Joes Almond, Cashew and Cranberry Trail Mix and Peanut M&m's

The Bento for my Sister:

Her bento is pretty much the same as mine except that she has a little pink bunny egg.

Now the amazing thing about this bento are the M&M's. That is how an entire package of M&M's looks inside a bento. More evidence that this little box holds a LOT of food.

Brand New Box!!

Sorry for the darkness in the pictures. It wasn't very bright in my kitchen today =( Since it's getting kold, I've been considering making ramen tonite or the potato beef stew...well see!

On to the Menu!

3 onigiri, 1 is stuffed with terriyaki chiken, 1 is stuffed w/ lap cheurng and 1 is stuffed w/ an eggy saracha middle.

Bottom teir: pink fish egg, stir fried celery and stir fried baby bok choy. Side car, little mini kiwi, i still have like 11 of these guys, hahaha!

This box is sooo cool! It's shaped like that so that it can specifically hold onigiri!! Can't wait to make more triangle onigiri now!

Chicken Katsu and Clemintine Goodness

Morning !

Menu: Top Tier 2 unstuff onigiri, w/ a forest of brocolli covered in salt and paper. There are little brocolli stars on the onigiri.

Bottom Tier: Mini Chicken Katsu!!! , Little thing of the cranberry, Almond and Cashew nut mix from Trader Joes. Next to that is half an egg. I wanted to mold the egg into the onigiri shape but I did it too fast and split it so I cut it in half. Sprinkled onto it is Salt, pepper and paprika.

I made tiny chicken katsu because they would fit into my bento better. Also i find that when deep frying, haveing lots of little things are easier to control that have a few big things of meat. Also these guys can double as chiken tender and go into mini sammichs. Mmmm......

This is Mr +1's Bento

In the white container is Chicken Katsu and Rice. On the Side of that barely visible is Kim Chee and even more invisible is a tiny pastery.

The Yellow Bento is his snack/breakfast bento. He bought and entire bag of clemintines for me yesterday ^.^ He's sooooo sweet. I fashioned it, into a cat. In the blue container is sweet chili sauce for the katsu. Behind the cat is some candy corn. To the right of the cat is the same kind of nut mix. Hidden underneath all of that, is a little packet of seasoned wasabi nori.

Tonite dinner is Okonomiyaki since I have lots of chiken left over and need a way to sneak more veggies into my familes diet. I also can't wait for tommrow since I am going to a ski and snowboarding show ^.^ need to buy gear for me and Mr. +1's skii trip.

Also excitied about this weekend since I am going clothes and new box shopping. I need to buy a new jacket and some new jeans ^.^ Can't wait!

Yum yum! Idatekimasu!!!!

Hi Hi!

Yakisoba. Has Napa Cabbage, lap cheurng and little tiny shrimps. Kewpie mayoinase on the top. I had these noodles sitting in my fried for the longest time...like 2 or 3 week, so i figure i might as well use them. I didn't have very much food from left overs from dinner, so I figured, Perfect!

It was very tasty, I will have to make this more often.

Kimchi Fried Rice

hi HI!

Kimchee fried rice. Made brocolli and beef for dinner and had some left overs. I needed to put more kimchee into the rice, but it still came out pretty tasty. Again, I had left overs, but not quite enough for 2 ppl sooo I made fried rice. I love simple easy foods. I think I did this dish in about 10 mins ^.^ Love when I can crank out 3 bentos in 30 mins or less ^.^

Happy Halloween Everyone!

I tried to use the moon cookie cutter to take a chunk out of the rice. Inside the rice is Chinese style Tomato Beef. Such yummy comfort food. There are 2 mozerella cheese balls and 3 pumpkin sushi. The pumpkins are tamago dyed orange mixed into some orange rice. Those two are like pumpkin muffins w/ vinilla cream cheese frosting type thing on top. Inside the muffins are chocolate chips. I already ate one for breakfast hahha.

This is Mr. +1's lunch yesterday!

I am so proud of him!! He added the clemintine and he cheese ake dessert all by himself. And posed the food so it looks all pretty!!!!

Close up of my fave pumpkin, the Mr. Cool pumpkin.

Mini Spam Musubi and Hakone Gardens

The Mini Spam Musubi. I don't have a big musubi mold so i just made onigiri and put the little spam on top ^.^ i stole 2 for breakfast and they are delcious!!!! The little mochi is a fresh mochi. I bought it when the mise no hito was making it ^.^ They are soo delicous and the mochi is sooo soft ^.^

NOW! some pictures from mr and Mr. +1' Hakone Garden picnik!!! I had so much fun and the gardens are so beautiful.

The gardens were soooo peaceful. I love Asain Gardens. Cant' wait to visit more and go to a really well kept zen garden ^.^

FYI: They filmed parts of Memoirs of a geisha at Hakone Garden. I think they used the Hakone zen garden.

Frist Time CousCous

=yawn=

Morning Everyone!

Super tired this morning and plus it the end of the week so decoration stuff is pretty sparse =P Also i stayed up till 2am talkign ot Mr. +1 on the phone. hahaha =P
Last night I ran out of rice and so i had to use couscous this morning. I'm glad I made that Trader Joes trip last weekend or else i wouldn have had no food at home x.x i wen ot safeway and they don't have jsut regular unseasoned couscous.

Menu: Top tier, couscous w/ lap cheurng (Chinese sasage) diagnol. Bottom Tier: Snow peas and chicken. (i copied trekkiegirl on the diagnol design, har har har)

For dessert I had these little Japanese sweets. They are like individualcakes that are packaged in bite size packages. Perfect for dessert cause for me all I generally need is a bite of somethign sweet and my craving is satisfied. So far i think they are little castellas. I think i may have some like mini almost taiyaki things. Oh well, well see in the coming weeks ^.^ I have lots of these things, they came in liek a bag of like 30 hahahaha!

In attempts to cute-ify things i added my fork. hahah

This bento is to celebrate me and Mr +1's 100th day of being a couple! Actully, its 101 now, haha. I made the bento for him tonite (10-24-07) so that he can have it tommorw for lunch (10-25-07). This is his bento for lunch ^.^

I am amazed by how little he eats for lunch! I put everything into a 450 ml box. That is WAY under the Japanese box guidelines. He's a very tall guy (6'1") so he should have like a 800 ml bento.

Menu: some sort of veggie, i don't know the name of it, but its a Chinese veggie, tofu, and Sauted Miso Chicken. For the strips I use green bell pepper, fish paste, and the bottom is also fish paste but dyed red. The rice is just regular rice dyed yellow. The stallion is made from nori. Took like like 15-20 mins to cut it. I am not completely satisfied with it, I'm gunna have to do a better version on of these days! I'll post my lunch tommorw when I make it in the morning!

Happy Bento-ing!

P.S. Here My bento for lunch

Menu: Soy sauce fish, 3 mini potato onigiri, veggies hidden underneath one big leaf w/ one little on as accent. $ onigiri w/ naruto on top, w/ miso chicken from last night.

Morning Everyone!

Bento for today! Green mac and cheese with carrot flowers. In the pink holder is hummus w/ another carrot flower. Next to that are everything crackers from trader joes to dip into sed hummus. Next to that is Cucumber cream cheese salad w/ barely visable cucumber flower. I should have but hte carrot flower on the cucumber and hte cucumber flowers on the hummus. Oh well....btw...so exhausted. Woke up late and had to rush this bento. Managed to pack 3 bentos on 40 mins. I was expecting to have left overs from last nights dinner to pack into the bento. Ran out of sauce and food =( My pantry saved the day!!!!

Happy Bento-ing everyone!

^.^ Morning Everyone!

So yesterday, I learned of the fearsome power of Japanese Curry...... I swear I made enough curry for like 8 people!!! I had to put some curry aside, separate from the main dish so that Mr. +1 didn't eat it all!! He kept eyeing it after the big bowl of it was killed off. I first moved it to the counter, then had to move it into the fridge to prevent him from eating that too! My dad had 3rds on the curry, Mr. +1 had 4th's, included putting rice into the pot to soak up the remaining curry sauce. I even gave Mr. +1 some of my rice, hahahaha! For lunch I barely had nuff for 3 bentos. Mine (shown above ) has the least amount of curry =( it ok, mine is also the only one w/ my little fried nori potato and a mochi. I highly recomend Golden Curry curry. Warning though, incredably high in soduim. 1 serving is 41% of our daily intake of sodium. Scary ne?

And the menu: Mild Japanese Curry on rice w/ a little flower carrot on top, bok choi, 2 potato nori things, and 1 mochi...the last little mochi!
