Hard to tell from the photo, but that’s pink applesauce. Made using a variation of this recipe from Every Little Thing. (Main differences: I add a little sugar and lemon juice, and use an immersion blender after I pick the skins out, since I don’t have a food mill).
It’s fall! And freezing in [...]

Twin Bentos
Posted in bento, food, tagged bento on September 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I had a bit of a crazy weekend (spent most of it catching up on class reading, grocery shopping, baking, entertaining birthday party guests, and coding the layout for the LR web site — the latter of which activities has so far been a full bunkered-down, all-consuming kind of experience), on the tail end of [...]
One Reason I Love Chinese Supermarkets:
Posted in bento, food, photography, tagged bento, food, photography, weddings on August 4, 2009 | 2 Comments »
They carry produce that Americans normally won’t touch unless introduced to it as a “gourmet item.” And for cheap, too.
Case in point: fresh, tender watercress. For soup, or for yummy egg, cress and prosciutto sandwiches.
Case in point: sweet, mellow golden kiwi. (2 for $1). For breakfast, or for a treat in [...]

Tonight I decided I wanted tuna salad, since it seemed an appropriate dish to make with the celery I had in the fridge. But I didn’t feel like eating normal tuna salad with mayo and apples and such. So I had a weird brain wave and decided to use Chinese seasonings instead. [...]
Everything Tastes Better With Soy Sauce
Posted in food, tagged food, pork chops, recipes, soy sauce on July 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I made a new dish for dinner today: Italian-style pork chops with peppers and vinegar. The idea was originally inspired by an article I recently read in an old copy of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, but me being me, I couldn’t leave well enough alone, and I had to do it my way. I always find [...]
Summer Bentos #3-5
Posted in bento, food, tagged bento, food on June 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Sorry for the barrage of bento posts. It’s about all I have time to blog about these days. Work has been pretty draining. I didn’t even really have the energy to work on my thesis yesterday.
Wednesday’s Lunch:
Snapware container: Akai rice, sliced tongue, leftover spicy green beans, scrambled eggs with scallions, dried hibiscus flowers [...]

I actually didn’t get to eat [...]
Summer Job = Bento Time!
Posted in bento, food on June 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s really refreshing to be able to bento regularly again, now that I’m starting a 9-5 summer job tomorrow (well, technically it’s 8:30 – 5:00, but that doesn’t sound as nice). I actually needed to have been in bed about half an hour ago (getting up at 6:30 = not something I’ve done since [...]
End of the School Year 2009 – Part I
Posted in food, grad school, personal, photography, tagged baking, grad school, photography on May 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’m currently sitting in the San Jose airport waiting for my plane to Philly. After moving out of South Bend on Wednesday, I flew out here to CA and spent the weekend attending a wedding, doing research in Monterey, and spending lots of quality time with my boyfriend. Summer has been coming on [...]
Post-Easter Slump

I have an alarmingly long to-do list for the next two weeks, but I haven’t been able to get very much work done since the weekend. (Hence my being up at 2:00 AM listening to Pandora and blogging). Thought I might as well post some photos of my Easter table, since I wrote about all [...]
