As I mentioned yesterday, shy little kitten was requested, but without nori I didn’t think I could do it, so we just went with cheese. This is the tabby version of the shy little kitten I guess! Pizza cut into star shapes under the cheese kitty. Raspberries, blackberries, plum, broccoli and carrot flowers with little […]
I still can’t unpload and resize pictures with wordpress. I’m using an external ftp program to get the photo uploaded, which sucks because it doesn’t get put into the media library for management.  And then I have to resize by eye, so I’m not sure I’m keeping proper proportions. Very annoying! Easy bento today. Tomorrow, perhaps […]
We recently upgraded my wordpress to the newest version (I’d been out of date for months) and I’m having a lot of problems with it. It adds line breaks where I don’t want them, and takes them away where I do. I sometimes can’t upload photos, othertimes I get them uploaded, but they won’t resize like […]
The oddest thing happened while I was taking pictures of todays box. Of course, I didn’t discover it until after the kidlet left with his lunch — but for some reason, even though I am SURE that I centered all my pictures, they are showing up as half a photo, sliced down the center. I took […]
This bento was put together without a plan. For my cute / character bentos, I usually have sketched it out and have a basic idea of what is going into it and roughly where (altho its never set in stone!). I had planned to make mini pita pockets, but I’d frozen the bread, and it thawed […]
TGIF? The kidlet loves going to school as much as being at home, so he doesn’t really think of Friday as anything special. And I actually found in last couple weekends that I *missed* making bentos — at least until I got sick, and then I didn’t mind the break so much 😉 I think he’ll […]
Kawaii: An adjective in Japanese meaning ” pretty; cute; lovely; charming; dear; darling; pet” It’s stem is two kanji meaning “can love”. It is commonly used by anime and manga fans.  However, it has narrower definition than the English word cute. When applied to pop culture, cute will suffice; however kawaii refers primarily to the affection of a […]
Still sick and miserable but I managed to get most bento prep done last night. Kidlet loves cars (although ATM bakugan is trumping all) so I went car crazy. I picked up a lot of car theme things when I was gathering supplies in anticipation of packing bento. Even with all I used, I still […]
I am sick sick sick. I put off making lunch until 20 minutes before kidlet needed to leave for school, and this is the result ;) He loved the rocket in practice lunches, so I went ahead and did that again for him, so it would be a *little* cute! Ham and cheese sandwich with […]
Ah Monday — a fresh start to a new school week and a new week of bentos to plan and prepare! Just what I don’t need when I am feeling really crummy! I’ve got what is probably just a cold, no fever yet. But runny nose, sore throat and coughs, and I feel achy and […]
