More Bento-y Goodness
This is actually from several weeks ago, but I've been a bit distracted. I promised my SR group that I'd bring tuna stuffed rice balls for everyone, so I brought some for myself as well. I'm beginning to feel like my bento are getting a tad repetitive, so I think I'll just bring flat rice with some garnish on it next time around. The bottom of this one has some grapes and vegan carob chips. I'd really rather have normal carob chips (since the vegan sweetener separates in an unpleasant way), but I haven't been able to find any yet.
Hopefully the candy I ordered from JBox will arrive before next week. I am so looking forward to having star candy again. I mean it's just a type of sugar candy, but I still miss it. Next time I visit my parents I will definitely need to make a pit stop at the local big Korean grocery store. I miss crazy snacks like shrimp puffs and strange packaged seaweed I can gnaw on. I'm still trying to find a local source for some things, like mochi rice/flour, red bean paste, and Inarizushi no moto (canned). There aren't a lot of local Asian stores here, so I might have to do some shopping online or on my next Chicago visit.
Comments:There is a good Asian market on Park Street. Try there. They have everything. There are a couple of others on the other side of town (near east, at least) too, but the Park St. one is great. The Hmong population in Madison is really big, so we actually have a pretty good selection of Asian food available to us.Post a Comment
