Springtime!

It’s spring! Okay, okay, so spring started last week - I know. But now it’s warm out. And we can work on our pitiful garden (I never cleared it after last season). And we can walk to the park again, which is one of my favorite activities with Will.But this puzzles me (this isn’t the [...]

Posted on March 30, 2007 - Filed Under Mr. Bento | 1 Comment

I was so excited this morning to report that Mr. Bento was on his way, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see him arrive so swiftly.
What? What’s that behind my darling boy? Can it really be? Already?

He’s coming!

Lunch. These days, lunch is a hard meal for me. My corporate cafeteria has struck out again and again for me, and the salad bar is not only overpriced, but uninspired. So, that leaves me needing to bring lunch - which I forget to do some days, though I am getting better. It’s hard to [...]

A whole week away from my blog? I can’t believe it! So what have I been doing while neglecting this nearly daily log of eats and exploits? Well, for one, I am still editing Well Fed On The Town, Fit Fare and Sugar Savvy, so [...]

Ugly Irish Cake

This is not pistachio flavored or mint chocolate chip or mint anything. It’s just a very green concoction I made for dessert last night (it was St. Patrick’s Day after all). You can’t quite see the green sludge (aka chocolate mint pudding) in the bottom . . . yea, classy.
