Yay Miso

I’m getting the hang of making miso soup that isn’t instant, lol. I found out today that my green onions that I left to rot forever and ever ( two weeks, lol ) are actually 100% still good, they just got a bit dark on the outside but they taste fresh and really made the miso.

I’m trying to get more water into my diet and, since the way I make miso is very weak ( I’m still not used to the stronger versions, because I can’t really guage how much of what to use, lol. ), I figured it would be a good way for me to deal with the horrible Missouri toilet water that comes out of the tap. I filter my heart out as it is, but it doesn’t seem to make too much difference in taste, and I’d like to find as many variations on getting that water into my system as possible without gagging on my own tongue, lol.

Daiso Wishes

Argh, do I have to live so far away from a Daiso? Is it really necessary that there be no outlet near me at any point in my life where I may purchase my beloved bento whatnot’s whenever I want to without having to pay shipping?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike using the likes of eBay stores like The Bento Store and Tokyo Gift to get my bento wares, but it would be nice to save the money plus be able to replace things that may get damaged, and now I’m just going to whine forever and ever, lol.

Bentos Abound!

So I’ve finally got some crappy pictures of my newest bentos, both are licensed San-X and Sanrio and both are brand new, arrived in their packages – I’m all giddy. :D

First up we’ve got a yellow Rilakkuma aka Relax Bear bento box and it’s 3rd year anniversary bag which isn’t the origial blue drawstring that’s supposed to go with it, but I bought them seperately:

The next is of my strawberry-milk colored Hello Kitty onigiri bento ( more pics when I get time ), which has no bag at the moment but it did come with a little triangular pink onigiri mold – how cute is that?

Try A Dish

Try A Dish will be a feature here that is updated every so often when I dare to try a food I’ve never had before. I love trying new things, especially when they end up tasting good, lol. I’m going to be reviewing each food I try, I’ll put up both it’s good points and bad points and give it a “Bento Rating” to let you know weither or not it should be included in your bento box based on taste and bento-ability like could it spill? Does it pose a leak hazard? Does it smell to high heaven? Will it ruin the bento’s color? I hope to update this very soon. :D
