For the month of November, 2007

About a month ago, Yvo from Feisty Foodie announced “Does This Make My Lunch Look Phat?, a contest on her blog. She makes a bento for lunch every day, so her contest is to create a bento box and blog about it. I was super excited when I heard about this… I have loved looking at all her different daily bento boxes, and have wanted to make my own for quite some time now. So of course I jumped at the excuse to make my own bento!

It’s time for Taste and Create III!! This time around, I got paired up with Stephanie form A Whisk and a Spoon. There are so many yummy things on her blog… I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to decide which to make! But then I saw her crêpes… and I was sold.

Yesterday, November 15th, was my wonderful boyfriend Son’s 26th birthday. With school and everything, I didn’t have the gumption to cook for him this year, so of course I had to take him out. He chose this cute little Japanese restaurant in Tustin called Honda-Ya that an old friend had recommended to him a while ago, but we hadn’t gone to yet.

This is the last of the rolls that we made from Mobo Sushi. (There may be more later, but this is the last of them for now. ) We thought this one was pretty good. A nice gari flavor, but don’t use too much or it will overwhelm the sushi! I know there are those of you out there who are huge gari lovers… this one is definitely for you.

Happy 1st Birthday to Sushi Day!! The website is officially one year old. It’s also National Sushi Day (seriously!) so of all days, definitely have some sushi today!
