my guest post on Just Bento

I was terribly flattered when my food blogging inspiration, Maki of Just Hungry/Just Bento, recently asked me to contribute a guest post to Just Bento. I’ve learnt so much from her and am really glad to be able to share something with her too.
I decided to write about my general approach to bento-ing, which you [...]

Alive

In case you were wondering, this blog is still alive ☺ and I’m still cooking and baking and managing food sensitivities on a daily basis.
It’s the new WordPress dashboard that’s been defeating me: for some reason, the visual editor for writing posts refuses to appear on any browser on my Windows XP computer and [...]

New page: Q&A

The search engine terms that lead to my blog sometimes include questions that I haven’t addressed directly in my postings, but which I do know the answer to. So this new ‘Q&A’ page is for those questions and answers in the hope that someone will find the information useful.
Do leave a comment on the ‘Q&A’ [...]

My new Flickr page

Selected photos from this blog now available on my Flickr page.
There are three photo sets:

  Bento

  Food

  Tea

New page on flours

Have been reading up on different types of flours used in the Chinese and Japanese recipes I’ve been looking at recently. See my notes here (or click on tab at top of page).

Quick links to useful posts

As the postings accumulate on this blog, it’s getting a bit hard for me to navigate back to pages with useful reference information, so I’ve set up a new tabbed page, ‘Useful posts‘, to compile a list of internal links.

New page: wallpapers

As I have been using some of my food photographs as desktop wallpapers, thought I’d share them here with you as well.  Just click on the the ‘Wallpapers‘ tab at the top of the page.

My bookshelf

After grappling with the problems of using LibraryThing, I’ve decided to start a new page to list some of my food-related books in different languages – please click on the tab, ‘Bookshelf‘, at the top of the screen.
This will link into my LibraryThing page (also linked from sidebar), which I’ll continue to use for English-language [...]

Non-English books & LibraryThing

Last night, I was ecstatic to realise that LibraryThing connects to Amazon.co.jp which means I can add in my bento books (see ‘My Bookshelf’ and ‘New on my bookshelf’ sections in my sidebar, right at the bottom).
But there are some major problems. Firstly, the search engine appears to be useless if you key in [...]
