Ah, ringo is the Japanese word for apple... Usagi is the Japanese word for rabbit.

Too funny-I figured out my mistake last night when I was making a hard boiled egg look like a rabbit using a picture in the Manga Cookbook. That would have been too much of a coincidence anyway. Thanks for the correction! The recipe was for rabbit apples!

That's the plan! He's got hard boil eggs that look like a chick and a rabbit, apple slices that look like rabbits, a fruit leather strip, baby carrots, natural cheese puffs, a slice of homemade oatmeal bread with butter (by request) and a Stonyfields Farm yogurt. A lot more food than he usually eats. We'll see what he comes home with for left overs.

It's a good name! Alex is my husband. My daughter is Bella, which is also the name of chickiebaby's daughter--just one of the million and two freaky things we seem to have in common.

I just got back from visiting a local Asian market on my lunch break. I came back with teriyaki nori, sesame furikake, pickled ginger, some pasta-ish medallions made of brown rice flour, frozen gyoza, nori/rice crackers, and of course, POCKY.

I also had a lengthy and language-barriered conversation about the availability of brown sushi-rice, for which I could not recall the Japanese name. The proprietress finally offered me "brown sweet rice," which she agreed was "short grain," and will supposedly be in tomorrow. I made such a big deal about it, I'll feel obligated to buy it, whatever it turns out to be, so I hope it's what I want!

LOL, I live on a street called Bella Vista! I want a sign for my gate that says Bella Vista Acre. Not quite an acre but it sounds good!

I tried our local Asian market which is pretty small and they don't have any. We're semi-rural out here. I did find my smallest chicken eggs were too small for the molds so I think I'm okay without the quail eggs. I'd still like to get some quail of my own once I have a place for them to live. I have a response from one of my freecycle ads for a rabbit cage but I don't think it's the outdoor rabbit hutch type thing I want.
I've got some medium sized eggs in the molds now, sushi rice in my steamer and English muffins rising waiting to be grilled. I feel like super mom! I just shooed the neighbor's cat out of the backyard for the second time today. Rescued a welsummer pullet who flew over the fence into a horribly scrabbly part of the yard behind the shed. Seems hubbie started a new wood pile along side the fence and the chickens love to hop up and hang out. Duh! Looks like he'll be moving it! Phew!
 
we were at an outlet mall this weekend and i stepped into the pottery barn outlet and found this.
