We recently upgraded my wordpress to the newest version (I’d been out of date for months) and I’m having a lot of problems with it.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 […]
Check out the 100 Menu’s giveaway over at Dinner’s on Me. She posts her weekly menus (and they usually sound delicious!) along with recipes. It’s a great site for dinner time inspiration — and goodness knows, I often need it!
This week features Anne Burrell, who apparently has her own show on food network. I had no idea — I only knew her as Mario Batali’s sous chef on Iron Chef America. I guess her show is one they only show on weekends, and I don’t get to watch FoodTV on weekends, only during the […]
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 […]
 I didn’t do as well this week sticking to plan or budget. I was sick a good portion of it, and ended up buying convenience foods, ordering in and otherwise paying over and above since I didn’t feel up to cooking.  I think I can make up for it this week a bit. I don’t […]
So bento-ing and my attempts to be involved at the school may have gotten me into trouble! Each year, the schools foundation holds an auction to raise money to help keep positions in the school that the state isn’t able to maintain anymore. Although a public school, the neighborhood is fairly affluent (we’re kind of […]
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 […]
Welcome to Kid Friendly Friday, with Mr. Linky hosted over at I Blame my Mother. I’m not much of a baker. It’s generally too much work and requires too much preciseness for me to really enjoy it, ESPECIALLY with the kidlet.  Getting exactly one cup of this and 25g of that and 2 teaspoons of […]
