Thumbnail image for Bento #79: Costume Quest

A few days ago, my boyfriend downloaded a new XBLA (also available for PS3 network) game called Costume Quest. I watched him play a little bit, then I decided not to watch any further, because the game looked so darn cute and fun that I wanted to play it later by myself. He loved the game, and wrote a review on his blog. When he [...]

I’ve been pretty busy with work for past couple of weeks. I work for an online card game, which my company brought to the U.S. from Japan 2 years ago. We just released a new set of cards, so I’ve been translating, checking for bugs, writing emails to Japanese staff for days and nights, working at work and from home until past midnight most nights.

Thumbnail image for bento #45: Pink Castle Crasher and Tom Fulp

After I made the Castle Crashers bento, the image was posted in the forum on Newgrounds.com. Newgrounds is a flash game/animation site which was created and is owned by Tom Fulp, who is also one of the creators of Castle Crashers. The members of Newgrounds saw the bento, and were greatly upset (in a good nerdy way) by the fact that I left out the [...]

Shreela had asked me what the tuna soboro looks like when I did “How to make soboro”, so I decided to cook it tonight! I also wanted to do an experiment with Japanese and American mayonnaise in tuna soboro, because I almost always use Japanese mayonnaise when I cook. So I went out and got a jar of kraft “real mayonnaise”! I think having a [...]

You may know this by now, but my boyfriend eats pretty much anything I put in his bento. But still, I usually try to put rice, veggies and meat or fish (protein) in his bento. I also try to save some time by cooking food that I can make a lot of and will keep for a long time. That’s why I use a lot [...]

I was going to do this bento when I made my Toon Link bento, but I ended up not putting him because I ran out of the time. When my boyfriend was going aroundthe office to show his bento to co-workers, I was telling my friend that I was going to put this guy in the same bento. That friend, a huge gamer, said “No, [...]

After Christmas, I wanted to make one more bento before the year was over, but my boyfriend and I were already on holiday vacation. I was thinking of making a bento to eat at home, but my boyfriend had to go see his family for a couple of days, so I decided to make a bento for him to eat on the bus. Since I [...]

After I posted how to make a Wall-E sandwich on December 21, I started getting a lot of traffic to my blog, my flickr and my boyfriend’s flickr. At the time, I was still writing about my older bento on my blog and using my flickr to post pictures for my blog, so I decided to make a bento for people who were visiting my [...]

Whenever I make bento for my boyfriend, he’d show it to his friends at work and upload the pictures of bento on his flickr account and show it to other friends. One day, a friend of my boyfriend told him about a lunch box contest. I wasn’t that interested in the prizes, since they were a heavy duty lunch box and a rice cooker (I [...]
