I kind of grew up with a Korean version of bento.. which is a lot less artistic, but serves the same basic function.

My brother got me that cookbook one Christmas.
Now I have misplaced it. :(

I try to stay away from that place. One of the ladies I work with is always on that site & keeps telling me to go, but I know me if I started on it I would look at too much stuff. Then months would go by & I would have not of logged into other places.
I did that the first time I played farmville on facebook, then again when I started playing Pirate Clan.

Ohhh, there certainly is!! I forget what year I started, but by now I've got 90 boards and counting, over 7k individual pins... and I'm not about to stop anytime soon. I really only spend about.. maybe 15 minutes a day on there, by this point. Yeah, when you start out, you spend a lot more time than that, because you find so much new stuff.

Shoot I have to go make my lunch.

Anyone making anything yummy for Halloween?

I'm going to have myself a little Spanish feast. In my boyfriend's apartment. Not at my parent's house, which will no doubt get its doorbell rung by numerous hopefuls even though the porch light will be *off* And then the dog will bark up a storm Every. Damn. Time.

No, I shall spend the night in relative peace and quiet, enjoying the red beans and rice with peppers, mushrooms, queso and tortillas that my boyfriend will make me for dinner.

Hello Connielass.
That sounds like a yummy dinner.
We rarely get any trick or treaters, I'm afraid if we do this year they will be disappointed. We didn't buy any candy so if any kids come by all we will have to offer are fruit snacks that I carry to work with me.
We are both trying to lose weight so I didn't want candy in the house.

*lurks in*

So I'm not going to be entering the baking contest, but I did find these yummies: Apple Cinnamon Rolls | MrFood.com

Candy on sale. Num.

Ahh, yes, the post-Halloween candy sales~

Mini M&Ms and Hershey Hugs

Mmm...

I just hoard a bunch of chocolate and stick it in the freezer. Candy all year X'D

Ew. I hate hard chocolate. I leave mine at room temperature.

I just stick it in the freezer so it doesn't go bad X'D

I was sort of proud of myself that I walked past the half price Halloween candy yesterday & didn't buy any of it.
Still need to lose some more weight.

Yay for Damia~

Meanwhile, I'm still a bit happy after last night . CUBS WON!!

Great job! Keep it up, stick to your guns!

I could probably lose a few pounds myself, but therein lies the problem; I don't see myself as fat or overweight, so there's literally zero visual motivation .

I get visual motivation every time my pants and skirts make a muffin top with my hips.

Go make me a muffin Connie please

Not until I know who's president.

Good morning. The other reason wifey walked past the candy is we are both diabetic. We want candy but don't need it.
We are trying to help each other with keeping our sugar levels down.

Ahh. That's a valid reason. Good luck to you both ^^

I miss making cookies with everyone

I miss cookies. Cookies are amazing.

I wonder what would be made if Menewsha collectively cooked something
