Bento Boxes - I feel a new fascination coming on

April 24, 2007

For some reason I have, for awhile now, had a fascination with pictures of food and food that just looks so appealing. I think food itself is an art form to me. Part of the reason that I’m decorating my kitchen in food items. People think I’m weird (and I am!) but that’s just me.

Today, while wandering around the web, I discovered the art of Bento boxes. These are lunches, packed into little individual containers, some with a special focus on a cuteness factor. The idea goes back to, of course, Japan.

I love the thought of these and really want to be able to buy some supplies. I think these are a great way to save money, eat healthier, and actually be excited about lunch! I’ve already started looking around at all the cute and tasty looking lunches throughout the internet and daydreaming about making cute little lunches for Sam and myself when we’re hubby and wife.

Fast Food Ads Vs. Reality

April 23, 2007

Today’s Hungry Girl newsletter linked to this site that is an ongoing project of how foods look in advertisements versus when you actually buy them. I think it’s really interesting. The beef ‘n cheddar from Arby’s looks particularly unappetizing to me.

I must say that I do think it’s interesting the process that must go into photographing fast food for television ads. To be able to show every little ingredient down to the ketchup and mustard on a burger is truly an art form.

MooBella - Ice Cream Vending Machine

April 15, 2007
I admit it - I’m a Food Network junkie. I love watching all of the different recipes and the influence food and dining has on people - even though I am cooking challenged.
Tonight I was watching The Food Network Awards and saw this little gem. MooBella ice cream vending machines make the ice cream when you order it. You can get so many different flavors and different add ins.  I hurried to the website to see where these machines were located - only to find that right now the only online locations are in MA. Hopefully they’ll be coming to my area soon!

Fabric Swatches - A Great, Inexpensive Decorating Idea

April 10, 2007
I love this decorating idea that I originally saw over at Posie Gets Cozy. I think these swatches are a great way to add some cute character to walls and a great way to display some of the wonderful fabric I’m always seeing in stores. I’ve always been one that prefers the type of decorating where you could just stand and look around at everything, taking it all in. I think this is a great idea that I might try once we get to decorating the apartment.
