			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Or filled pie/cake maker. To be honest, I don&#8217;t entirely know <em>what</em> this is but I&#8217;m a sucker for this kind of thing, and I&#8217;ve been eying it on eBay for two or three months &#8211; finally had the money so we just bought it, it&#8217;s too cute! It just arrived from Hong Kong today. It was labeled with the word Bento so it showed up in our searches, and now seeing how big it is I bet it would be perfect for a dessert tier of a standard sized bento.</p>
<p>This is a microwave contraption comes apart and the two Mickey Mouse head compartments are filled with your batter or cake mix, then little back end plates fit over the mix and it goes into the microwave. When it&#8217;s done you take it out and remove the back plates, which have made impressions in the cake for you to spoon filling into. Then you place one side of the cake on top of the other and use the enclosed plastic sealer to seal the the blasted thing &#8211; now you should have a finished, stuffed waffle!</p>
<p> I plan on testing it out with some honey wheat waffle batter and cream cheese filling! I have no idea how long you&#8217;re supposed to cook these things but I&#8217;ll tinker around and let you know what I find out. Squee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s something I haven&#8217;t had in a long, long time that I&#8217;d love to get my hands on for pot stickers &#8211; goat meat! In fact, I&#8217;ve only ever had it once or twice but it was fabulous! </p>
<p><img src="http://hanamachi-lights.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ossobucco.jpeg" title="Goat Leg Meat" alt="Goat Leg Meat" style="border:3px;margin:2px;margin-left:0px;padding-left:0px;padding:2px;float:left;" />I&#8217;m actually reading the recipes on this website, all of which seem a bit on the complicated side (like Jerked Leg of Goat) and wondering if it&#8217;s something I could do? Some of the ingredients include ginger and dark brown sugar, it just sounds sweet, tangy and delicious. I&#8217;d love to try my hand at this, I wonder if it would be too hard to dress up goat meat for use in a bento box? I said pot stickers earlier, but this jerked leg of goat actually sounds like it would be great with rice if you cut it up into small pieces and filled out an empty niche in your bento box with it.</p>
<p>It would definitely be unique, plus goat is so good for you compared to other meats and is actually very low fat. The problem remains, as always, where do you <a href="http://www.gedaliascompany.com/">buy goat meat</a>? You can&#8217;t get it out here, though. I live in the middle of hog country and you&#8217;re lucky if you can get chicken or beef at a decent price, so until now I thought goat meat was out of the question because it was hard to come by out here. But the website I&#8217;m surfing right now, the one I&#8217;ve been talking about with all of these amazing goat recipes? It&#8217;s for a company called <strong>Gedalias</strong> that actually sells farm raised goat meat over the internet. It&#8217;s not expensive, they have a lot of different cuts including ground if you want to make burgers. It&#8217;s such a great idea! It would be a great gift for anyone you know who loves to cook and loves to try new things. If you&#8217;ve ordered from them, I&#8217;d love to hear about your experiences!</p>

<div class="photoQDescr">
<p>Trying this one more time – my plugin made my related posts go haywire! Had a great dinner of fakey bento proportions. We only had $1.50 to our name so instead of buying things we need, we hauled off and bought cookies which we had with warm milk tea. Mine are in my Buffalo Wings take home container, which works as a sort of not so cute bento but fun none the less!</p>
