A Temarizushi Bento for a Quiet Celebration
For anyone paying attention: yes, I’ve not been keeping this blog up to date. As usual – when I bother to I’ll migrate the rather large volume of past entries eventually. It looks like the general consensus for 2016 has been rather grim – which I’ve also not escaped. Let’s just say I’m going to […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 186
Well, that’s it for #OnigiriAction – it was just not possible to get another ‘pretty’ entry sorted but I’m pleased with some of the okazu and onigiri fillings devised through this campaign – I hope it’s been a successful one that has improved the lives for the better. Though I must admit – I have […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 185
#OnigiriAction may feature the triangular shaped riceball, but they are also traditionally barrel, spherical and disc shaped. Though in retrospect, I can see why you’d avoid round with a visible umeboshi, especially if you pack a pair – hurray for boobies? Perhaps I should repeat it for a cancer awareness campaign #BoobieAction November 21 Ate […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 184
I did attempt a ‘charaben’ style entry for the intersting #OnigiriAction contest but the rookie mistake of heating a riceball that has a slightly oily filling destroys their structural integrity.. At least the Sichuan style harusame salad was a revelation – I’ve got to get a recipe settled (though reduce the oil content somehow…) November […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 183
I am sure I can go for long stretches of time without meat but it is definitely more difficult absorbing more recipes. Oh and seafood – nothing else like it… I’ll try cutting back more (but no promises). Onward with more #OnigiriAction! November 7 At home the heating is yet to go on but I’ll […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 182
Getting in the experimental mood with shapes and flavours, as the #OnigiriAction continues. It would be good to do a ‘contest level’ lunch but I’m just not feeling it yet. Only if the flavours and thus the contents are something I’m happy with I might try, but that would mean taking photos in an English […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 181
“A pox upon your houses” – someone cursing me, probably. It’s been rather virulent of late; at work as well as the local have been struck which makes me a conduit in making this flu (or flus) rather successful. Well, #OnigiriAction is still a-go! October 24 Brought down by a head cold on Sunday so […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 180
I was pretty much flagging about lunch – complacency into cheese toasties and depression into how much weight I’ve gained over the years – when it was a news story I read in a foreign tabloid ‘news’ paper that I discovered the World Food Day Campaign. Despite the name, the campaign is to run from […]
Lunch Log: (Sporadic) Week 178
Right at the end of summer, the beer schedule is still rather full and lunch has been sometimes catered by the work toastie machine* so updates have remained sporadic. However, as part experiment, part health incentive the household is under “Vegtember” lockdown: no meat-derived protein for a month. So far it’s been a interesting, but […]
Lunch Log: (Sporadic) Week 177
The intermittent fasting continues as sporadic as the lunch entries, though the quiet log days do not reveal what was dinner there wasn’t much to report there either. Considering that, this means that there were days which the best way to dispose of leftovers (and foods approaching their best before date) was to eat them […]
