Leana and I made Shiichikin Mayoneezu (Sea Chicken Tuna Mayonnaise!1!) onigiri tonight! We made two kinds. One had a bit of wasabi mixed in with the mayo and the other had tiny slivers of pickled ginger.

I made neat little weiner octopus and crabs to go along with it. rofl If you don't know what those are, just google bento and browse for a bit. I'm sure you'll end up seeing some.

Oh yes. Last night I decided I would try my hand at pickling! So today I hard boiled some eggs, shelled them and threw them in a jar with some white vinigar, a bit of water and some pickling spice. I didn't use any recipe for the pickling mixture. I probably should have, but I was kind of in a rush. For what reason, I'm not sure LOL. I'll take one out in a week and see how it tastes, then I'll give them another week. Once I find some more clean jars I will try pickling some other things. Maybe some veg or fruits. I love pickled things, but I really dislike buying them.. So hopefully my experiments will work out. xD Then I'd have nicer things to put in my sushi and onigiri! Wheee~ heart
