I have no reason at all for making a bento, I don't go anywhere during the day, but I wanted to anyways. I will eat this tomorrow. Oh yeah this is my very first bento :D



Bastami rice with butter and salt, boiled potatoes, green beans, brussel sprouts, american cheese flowers with pimento center, octopus hotdog, and onions cooked with the boiled potatoes.

I ate the bits and pieces that were left over for dinner and it is yummy :D

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS?

Assassin Creed: Lineage.

The other day when I was home sick, I made stock out of some leftover chicken & vegetables. Tonight I decided to go ahead and turn it into proper chicken soup. So, to my tasty stock I've added sauteed onion & garlic, a little celery, a bag of mixed veggies (asparagus, corn, carrots), sliced up garlic-chicken sausage, some of the last fresh herbs from my garden, and a splash of sauvignon blanc. It's simmering now and soon I'll correct the seasoning and add a handful of whole wheat egg noodles.

It went up into the high 60s today and was sunny and breezy. I got off my butt and went for a 40 minute bike ride. I'm pretty out of shape/practice since I haven't touched it much since August, but it was very invigorating.

My thighs are going to hate me tomorrow though.

Just a couple of pics from a stop at the Cleveland, TN Salvation Army today.

I'm not really sure if this is allowed, but I'll ask anyway.  Since Ichiban Kan online closed I haven't really been able to find a cheap store like. Even J-list is too steep for me.  So I was wondering if any of you guys are selling your boxes/accessories for cheap? I wouldn't mind buying used as long as everything is in good condition.  I'm mostly looking for more boxes in different shapes and sizes and functional accessories like silicone cups and such. 

Thanks!

Since I got home at around 6:00pm, I have received a phone call pretty much every 30 minutes, almost to the second. Same old song and dance: answering machine picks up and they immediately hang up. I just reduced the time until the answering machine picks up to 2 rings instead of the previous 4. I also changed the ringtone as well, because as much as I like Vivaldi's Concerto no. 1 Spring, it was driving me absolutely bonkers repeatedly hearing the first bit of it in that relatively crappy ring tone format over and over and over and over and over and over.

now i know these are NOT classic Bento boxes (or even close, really) but many of us Bento fans also like the Laptop Lunchbox system.. so i thought i would ask here....

the webpage has a sale going on on the original "Laptop Lunchbox" in a carton of 24 sets.
now obviously most of us have no need for 24 of the things.... but i was wondering if enough of us have any interest..... we could do a group order and split a case.( avoiding shipping.... ) (i personally would like the black ones with teh red interior trays as they look more classicaly Japanese... and more grown up)

i have no financial interest in the company, nor do i usually retail these... i just like them and thought getting them at about half off retail was a good idea.

I have two daisies in my lunch today! Read about it here!

Can you ever read the words "Good News, Everyone!" and not have Dr. Farnsworth's voice ring in your head?

I am so pleased I bought the Wii Fit. I've gone from ten stone to nine stone in around a month and a half, and now maintaining that weight. But I have a couple of questions.

I have asked for the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas - what is different about it? Does it have everything the original Wii Fit has, plus more, or is it completely different? I only ask as I am buying the Wii Fit Balance Board and Wii Fit Plus for my dad and stepmum for Christmas, but I don't know whether or not to get the original or not as well.

Also, does it carry over your weight loss history and everything?

And have they improved the graphics?

hi everyone!

hope this is allowed. my local paper did a round-up of the cutest bento lunches they can find, some of which have been featured in this community before! thought that was neat enough to share. there's even some LOST-themed bentos!!! 

here's the link!

Seitan adobo with roasted veggies.  The recipe is on the hapabento blog.

...or perhaps those who maybe wanted to be Dwarf Fortress fans, but couldn't get into it due to the ASCII graphics and for whom mere tilesets weren't enough...

Check out Stonesense.


This doesn't appear to actually be ready yet, but when it is, this may get me back into playing it again.

Deathly Hallows trio.



Did the original sketch as a gift for americonedream AGES ago.  Decided it was time I finished it.  ;~)

If I was a vampire.....
If I was a vampire I would not feel as guilty for 'wasting' a day on the computer, cos I would be immortal.
If I was a vampire I could walk at night without fear.
If I was a vampire I would snack on several people rather than drink one dry.  ;~)

Now you! Put the title in your LJ and then give us two or three lines that start with If I was a vampire

Italian: such a funny language.

So, the Italian for 'pea' is the same as the familiar noun for 'penis'.

Witness thousands, maybe millions, of Italian children scarred for life. Thank you very much, Hans Christian Anderson.

They could see she was a real Princess and no question about it, now that she had felt one pea dick all the way through twenty mattresses and twenty more feather beds. Nobody but a Princess could be so delicate. So the Prince made haste to marry her, because he knew he had found a real Princess.

I bet.

Also, from a bunch of places:

the DVD Commentary Meme
Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written (please, specify the title!), and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

My ficlist.

These bentos are from Monday. Check out my blog to see my meat loaf hand!
