I have lived here on the wonderful island for over 5 yrs and I have loved everyday of it! I have 2 great kids and a handsome Marine as my husband. I love evrything about Okinawa. I am an ALT ESL teacher at schools off base and tutor privately in my home. My other hobby/job is more of an addiction than anything else. I love to make and create obento for my kids! This has led to a busy bento blog, bento web store and teaching bento prep and pack classes twice a month!
Katy! I hope you got my email yesterday about todays class. My son is really not feeling well. Let me know if you didn't get my message. Also please let me know if you want extra $ for cancelling on such short notice. I feel terrible.
I really don't want to expose him to a house of healthy people. I have to attend my sons performance at the exchange this morning and I think that is about all he is going to handle.
Hi !!
Wow 5 years already?
We've only just arrived back in March of this year..;)
I'm so excited about the class, i'll get to fulfill my creativity! and make my guys happy, my son and my hubby.lol . So excited!
Oh, thank for asking! I actually got a couple of items and two more boxes (so now all of my kids have one). I made them all one bento and it took FOREVER, but it was fun. I am sure it will get faster as I get better and learn more. My husband asked me if I was going to make them for lunch for him :)
I would love to because it is portion controlled and I could try to follow the food group rules (which is what he needs, he is a diabetic).
So I am going to keep trying and experimenting until class again! I'll let you know how things go.
Katy I had SO much fun yesterday. I got so much great stuff I am so excited to us it all. Thank you - we will have to do that again! Oh and thank you for taking me to lunch. It was so yummy I took my hubby and the kids back there last night! LOL! Here is the website for the boxes I told you about Papermart
Next Friday would work for me. Do you want to post it for the group and see who else wants to tag along? Where should we go? I have been to the 100 ye store on 23 and to Jusco but that is all I know of. Do we all want to meet somewhere and ride together - or at least follow each other?
Ok we need to figure out our shopping trip. I talked to Diana and she is in. Maybe next week? What works for you?
