I spotted a little mini donut pan today when I was out shopping. D loves mini donuts, so I brought it home. There was a recipe that came with the pan. D baked and I supervised. I love the sound effects he makes when he cooks. He did a really good job, I didn’t have to help much.

It’s become a bi-weekly tradition that D and I grab a movie to watch with Sunday dinner. Tonight we had some chicken ravioli and garlic bread and watched Yes Man. I thought it was cute, d thought it was sort of random. Jim Carrey looks old! How old is he now, anyway? Zooey Deschanel usually sort of bugs me (example: Tin Man), but she was not bad in this. Sort of made me wanna be a yes girl. Sort of.

I’m not so hot at writing reviews, so here’s what people think at Amazon:

P.S. Decided i’m too tired to do a Colors! painting tonight. I forgot to plug in the DS. Will catch up tomorrow.

I decided for fun to try my hand at using red cabbage for a natural dye.  I’ve seen this on various other sites, like justbento.com and thought I’d give it a shot.  (continue reading…)

yummy bento for d’s lunch tomorrow. the one i made for him is prettier than the one i made for me, i had a smaller box and had to cram stuff in.

on the menu:

• 1 tuna salad sandwich (whole wheat bread, tuna, onion, green onion, celery, miracle whip)
• 4 baby dill pickles
• rice crackers
• 1 kiwi (this was my first attempt at artfully cutting fruit, i think i did pretty good)
• 4 strawberries
• 1 small Japanese Bourbon Lumonde cookie (Bourbon is the brand name, it’s not a liqueur cookie)
• 1 chocolate chip cupcake, no frosting – we need to finish these off.
• 4 Japanese Super Lemon candies to share with friends (these are awesome, and great fun to inflict on friends and enemies alike)

had a DA message about a coloring contest, so i gave it a quick try. the rules were no gradients or textures. after i submitted i realized half an hour was gonna be no match for the other entries, but i had fun doing it. happy hearts day!
