What's for dinner tonight - 10/5?
It is finally cooling down here in Southern California, so I'm getting in the mood for "Fall" food. I'm making pumpkin black bean chili, but substituting fresh steamed kabocha squash for the pumpkin.
Chefs vs. City: Anybody watching?
I'm with you. I enjoy the parts that take some actual skill, but for the most part it seems like a waste of time and effort on the part of the Food Network. Taking 2 chefs and having them do meaningless challenges against other chefs...what's the point? Why do you need chefs to do that?
Bento Help!
I'm with Chisai, Lock and Lock containers are wonderful if you don't mind going with a less traditional bento container!
My two fave sites for bento ideas/info are:
1) http://lunchinabox.net/
2) http://justbento.com/
Both are amazing resources with tons of ideas.
One of my fave things to include in a bento are onigiri (Japanese rice balls) because they're filling, easy to make, wrapped individually, and can be filled with a variety of different ingredients.

Last bite on earth:

When I'm in a slump I like to pick an ingredient and list out a bunch of different ways to use it and then try one. Last year I was in a bad slump and decided to have a pumpkin week where I made 7 different dishes that had pumpkin in them. Granted, that was a bit extreme, but it did wonders for my slump!
