I made a fairly simple bento, but got creative with my dessert. It’a cat head shaped mochi on a stick in an addictive sauce. Enjoy!
It’s my holiday bento box! I made Santa Claus rice balls that came out super adorable!
Honestly, this was not one of my better bento boxes, but I think it’s important to show some failures with the successes.
I made owl meatballs, inari bears, bunny bell peppers, and more. It was my first bento at my new Blizzard job, I had to show off a little bit.
I made cat and bear shaped mashed potatoes, lemon parsley salmon, zaatar carrot and bell pepper, and spicy yogurt sauce.
I found out about a new cookie cutter technique and made whale ‘quick’ bentos
I’m trying snails for the 3rd time. Plus more cute bell peppers.
I got some new tools for bento boxing at Daiso and I made a rabbit themed bento box
Totoro rice, fig snail, mushrooms, it’s good!
Inari hedgehogs, ‘pigs in a blanket’ snails, and more!
I was a bit more intelligent in my bentos this time and had a much better attempt go through. Check it out!
I’m trying out full bento boxing. It went ok; some things were successful, others weren’t so much, but I did learn a lot and will continue.
We recently had our 1 year wedding anniversary. It has been an exciting year of change: getting married, getting a new job, moving, going to Japan, getting a puppy, etc. So we really wanted to make the anniversary special to celebrate being together and all that has come with that. So we decided to celebrate over 2 days. The first day we went to Disneyland (I got us annual passes for an anniversary present; Sammy got me a really nice bike. I bike to work everyday so it’s thoughtful and something I really wanted). The second day we decided to go to the local aquarium as a call back to getting married in an aquarium. I thought it was a cute idea anyway. Also, the local aquarium does whale watching adventures in the Pacific Ocean, something both of us have wanted to do for a while.
Natasha’s department moved across campus. This one is actually kind of boring honestly, but she was excited.
Illidan graduated puppy 2 and showed his progress with one of the best weekends to date!
Sammy and I had a date weekend. We went to our first OWL match, grabbed a butterbeer in Universal Studios, and stopped for dinner in Little Arabia. It was a great weekend out.
Blizzard sent me to GUR and GDC. Plus I gave a talk as a part of the FPA. Read how it went
Illidan not only graduated puppy I but did so at the top of his class. He has made so much improvement and we are so proud of him.
We finally got to check out Universal Studios Hollywood. There were some aspects that were disappointing and a surprising couple that were great!
Sammy’s Aunt May came to town for a Mathematics conventions so we had to go see her … and stop at the coast … and stop at the zoo. Overall it was a lovely weekend in San Diego.
