Ah! I'm looking in the wrong part of the store!
-
What does lotus root taste like? I saw some recipes for it in my two bento cookbooks, although I haven't found any in the grocery yet.
-
Man, now I want tacos...
-
I decided to make one more thing tonight - Spinach with Sesame Sauce. I am going to have some amazing lunches over the next week or two!
-
Today I was preparing food for bentos this week. I made carrot kinpira, sesame-dressed broccoli, and turkey basil meatballs (to be served with ponzu sauce). I also made a vegetable quinoa crock pot dish for dinner, so I may use some of that for bentos, too. I was going to make a few other things, but I got tired and took a…

That looks amazingly delicious!

Yo Yo Rice: It's what yoi get when Yo Yo Ma (the famous cellist) makes rice. Wah-waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
-
Of course you can freeze rice! I make a ton of rice on the weekend, then, while still hot, I divide it up and freeze it for lunches. Here is the method I use (specifically, the bowl/cling-wrap method, because I don't have rice freezer containers). My rice is perfect everyday! And for reheating your rice, here are some tips.

I definately find my bento lunches to be more satisfying than a sandwich of equal caloric value. There is more variety, and I tend to eat them slower.
-
Nah, I haven't ordered any dashi. But thanks for the information - I need to look into it! I also didn't strain my eggs mixture before cooking. It worked just swell!
-
I just used a dash of the furikaki, since it has a strong flavor, and I am making these bento bits for both my daughter and I. I just steamed a ton of rice, and froze it in individual portions. I also made the Red Wine Vinegar Chicken Mangrothian posted about. IT IS SO FREAKIN' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
-
I made tamagoyaki for the first time today! It turned out super delish, and my daughter loved it, too. She and I ate the entire first batch, so then I made a second batch for our lunches this week (today is a holiday here in the States, so I am off today and am going full swing in bento prep!). This is the recipe I…

Ooh, eggcellent! ;)
-
I finally tried this! I used plain soy milk instead of almond milk. Also, the store didn't have just Dole Cherries, so I got the Dole Mixed Berries instead. DELICIOUS.
-
Mangrothian, how do you log your marinated eggs in your MFP Diary? I am adding the recipe I used to My Recipies, but it isn't accurate because I am not actually going to consume the leftover marinade - Only what is absorbed by the eggs. What are your thoughts? Are the calories from the marinade so trivial that I don't need…
-
Dumb question: How do I insert a picture from my phone? Lol
-
One of the bento boxes I ordered is that Kiki one! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
I already have some egg molds, as well a ton of cookie cutters. I need to pull them out and see what they are good for (larger for meats, cheeses, and bread, small and tony ones for fruits and veggies). I have several small Rubbermaid-type lunch containers that I use for lunches, and I can bento in them. However, I want to…
-
And that red wine vinegar chicken recipe sounds divine!
-
Thank you so much! I look forward to trying these out. :D
-
I love bento! I have some bento stuff, but i need some more. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY CUTE LUNCH BITS. How do you marinate eggs? I would like to try that. I would also like to get some pickled plums, and even try Japanese rice flavoring. Hm. I will have to check the Asian section of the grocery, and if that fails, go to…
-
Ooh, I want to try that!

Cannibalism is generally frowned upon.

I have gained over 40 pounds since I started taking citalopram two years ago. My doctor is concerned about that, so I am weaning off of it now.
-
Sounds similar, siobunny! I am 5'5" and weighed 174 and change at my last weigh in. My weight plus my age, plus the fact that my first pregnancywas high risk, put my in a hot mess for getting preggers again. So there extra pounds have GOT TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hi, y'all! My daughter is going to be 8 next month. Four years I thought I would never have another. However, I am turning 37 this summer, and with that dang impending clock tick-tock, I have changed my mind. I had long ago lost my baby weight, but over the past two years, one of my medications has caused me to gain over…
