Teacher Appreciation Presents!

Last week, it was Teach Appreciation! (And today, it's mother appreciation. Happy mother's day!!) And, for Friday for teacher appreciation week, you had to give a present! So, I made a Manga Kawaii piece of art for my *first* first man teacher. so, I had to make a boyish Kawaii piece of art. Now that's what you call hard! So I scoured my 6 Manga books, and came to a conclusion of what I'd do...

 
Cute, right? Well, since I was in the mode, I decided to make 2 more for my previous two AWESOME teachers! Happy Mother's day, everybody, and that's all for today!

Prestonshoot~A photoshoot

I sat, sitting. Thinking...Boring...Whatting. Wait, 'whatting' is not a word. Now you understand my boredom. I glance at my brother, who was smashing a red block into a fake-food milk bottle, pretending it was Mario and Bowser. Isn't my brother creative? I look at him, watching him spit out words and sound effects. "I'M GONNA BEAT YOU! You live under a tree. Well, you throw potatoes at Justin Bever! bvvvvmmmy." That last word was his sound effects. I should rather go to college at age 9 and take the Starting To Make Your Own Dog Food Company course then attempt to write down Preston's sound effects. Yeah, it's that good. So, I went to Pres and asked him to do a Photoshoot. He said yes, on one condition...He gets paid! So, I paid him 25 cents, and another 3 cents if he agrees to go outside and do it. DONE! Here's the photoshoot we did!

And, as we say in the acting/modeling biz, after a long day of filming, THAT'S A RAP! *APPLAUSE*

All Bento-#1 Torio Animal Face Nori Cutter

 Hi! You might be wondering...What's All Bento? Well, I got a Bento Haul, and I'm going to show you everything I got-one posts after another. What's a Bento...?

What's crazy is how many bento tools there are. From egg molds to fake grass, they have it all. But this set is down to basics, I mean-Bento Basics. Because, let's face it-Bento isn't basic. It's a complex geometry pattern with different shading and techniques- THAT YOU CAN EAT!

Anyway, this is a Nori cutout. Nori? Nori is seaweed. Cutout? Cutter, like a paper cutter, into a (e.g) heart shape. But, this is faces, not hearts. You put them on the 'animal faces'. (Rice balls.) It's the same process as cutting out paper, but with nori!

There are three in total; a Koala face, (light pink) a truly random smily face (light blue) and panda (light yellow)

As I mention a lot with Japanese products, they market it way too good. pastel colored products, how can you not stand there and say 'awww!' This works for anything. Even when I went to the 100 yen store (Japanese dollar store) I saw a girl looking at scissors saying awww, but here's the catch. The scissor packaging; a cute anime girl cutting out a heart, and the scissor color a sweet light green. It's amazing how smart these businesses are. No wonder they got the job!!

That's all for today, but watch out for the next All Bento!

How to comment on my blog!

Hi! Recently, I've been getting a LOT of questions about the same thing...

How can I comment?

Well, I can't blame you for asking. With Blogger, it's an odd process. So, let's begin!

1.

When you go on my blog, you will see this.

 (But not on Mobile)

This is my HOME PAGE. ALL my posts are located here-it is not a SPECIFIC post. The first step is going to the Specific Post, in this case, Example Post. So, I click on the header, 'Example Post'. This will take me to a new page that looks like this

Since this is an unusually short post, the comment section is right there. But in usual circumstances, you would have to scroll down to the BOTTOM of the page to find this.

Click on the box, and press 'Publish' to make the comment visible to other viewers, or preview it to see what it will look like to others.

VOILA! What became a tedious, time consuming project, just became 3 steps; click on it, scroll down, and type. SIMPLE! I hope I helped, and, you can even try to see if you did it right by commenting on THIS post!  

How to-Popin' Cookin-Gummy Candy Kit kit!

Hi! Today, I stared at my white shelf full of Popin' Cookin' sets in true dismay. I wanted to do a Set today-Finally. I have to build up the courage to use a set. I just can't handle it-Because, poof-After I'm done, I'M DONE. I can't spare the candy, keep the set, or the bags. Those deadly troopers called Ants will get to it. I COULDN'T use my NEW Popin' Cookin' Waffle Set! IT CAME OUT LAST MONTH! Or my Sushi Kit, STRAIGHT from my Japnaese Friends. My Bento Set? Ugh...I was trying to save that...But then I saw it. The Popin' Cookin' Gummyland Candy Kit! PERFECT! I snatched it and brought it to the stairwell. This is where it all begins...With my Candy Assistant, Preston Steven Murphey.

 The first packet is the green one, it's the substance of the candy. Like the Gummy Base or like....I think. Then, we take the 3 Primary colors and put them into the rounded rectangles. Doesn't matter what order. But, with those colors, we will make different colors.

 There goes Pres putting them in!

 The first color were making is green--Blue and Yellow. After you put both in, stir.

Pres is going first! He decided to make a fish. It is SO simple to make one-Take the color in the Water-Picker-Upper, and put it on the fish/etc. It INSTANTLY makes it turn gummy. It's pretty cool.

 Preston tries his creation! I say 'thumbs up if you like it, down if you don't'. He puts his thumb up. Cool! After I take the picture of that, he instantly put TWO thumbs up.

 Now, it's my try at the game. Pres and I have made several more colors, carefully selecting the hue and contrast. We had a real sit-down talk with what colors to add-and what to avoid. It went like this-"Pres, we need some more colors." He nods. "Purple?" I say. "YEA! Oh, and what about a mix of ALL?!" "Genius!" I say. Anyway, I decided to do a giraffe! A several colored giraffe-A several colored light and cheery giraffe.

 Preston was correct-It is quite good. But instead of gulfing it down, I've taken my Mom's technique. I ate it slowww....With the mini fork the kit came with! Carefully cutting off sections and slowly eating them. It made it seem like I had just eaten a cake! So, it tastes like Sour-Patch Kids, with a little gummy bear. but a big percentage of gummy is there-along with sour.

Pres made some more, I made some more-More colors, more candies. Frankly, it was like a little factory! If you have seen any Haribos commercials, you'll see it's a factory with a group of kids running it. It was like that.

 We call this one-

  Lime&Peach Hearts

We call this one-

Fail Flower! Because I tried to center the center, but it ended up one of the petals being yellow...

The last one we made took a LOT of patience-Because it was polka-dotted! Pres was beside me chanting "don't mix the colors! don't mix the colors!" So, obviously, I didn't mix the colors.

 I took the Fail Flower and Polka-Heart (that's what we call the one above) And put them on my plate. I used American Girl Doll plates for this-I use it for a lot of Popin Cookin mainly because, well, Popin Cookin is SMALL. I could make a platter of gummy candy and put it on the plate, but it was too tempting to eat the others. But I forced myself.

 As I saw this picture, I noticed one thing- THE FORK LOOKS HUGE. It looks so huge, it makes the plate look regular sized and the gummies look big, too.

That's all for today!!
