This glorious, ground breaking, culinary award deserving bento is all mine! Yup, that’s right, it’s not for hubs, it’s all for me! Notice the lack of meat. (Disclaimer: I am not a vegetarian, just not as much of a meat-a-saurus as hubs)

To be honest, I wanted to wake up early and make myself a really cool bento today. I was in the mood to have something special, but I woke up late, so this is what I get.

I heated up some leftover rice with a little miso paste mixed in and formed it into logs with my rice mold. I decided to wrap them in nori because I didn’t like the yellowy color that the miso gave the rice. ^_^

The only thing I still had time to do was throw in some blueberries, carrots, and pickled vegees.

I’m hoping to get a chance to cook tonight, which means good bentos for tomorrow! Wish me luck!




It has been a long time since I’ve given you guys a Stinker kitty update. She spends her days lounging in the blinds on our front door watching all of the other animals walk by.

We took her in to get spayed last Friday and she had some complications. We rushed her to the vet Saturday morning (the vet opened the office on her day off) and it turns out that she had inflammation and a really high fever. Poor girl! I was so scared. I can’t even begin to describe what she looked like. I have no doubt that she may not have survived without help from the vet.

All is good now though, she’s back to her normal self. She plays hard, I have the scars to prove it, and she loves hard.

Happy Bento-ing!
