10 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Being married to my best friend, who makes me laugh every day and shares in foodie adventures!

2. Everything related to food, cooking, and bento: shopping for new and interesting ingredients, especially at Asian and farmer's markets, dining at international restaurants, reading cookbooks, trying new recipes,  delving into the rich inspiration of the online foodie community, collecting bento items of all kinds, and of course, the great creative fun of bento-blogging!

3. My friends and the wit, joy and insight they bring to my life.

4. Spring: intoxicating breezes, emerging green buds....and flowers!

5. Cats.

6. Reading--mostly non-fiction: history, cultural criticism, travel, politics, spirituality, food culture.

7. Hot chai with cinnamon, ground cloves and honey.

8. Art museums--favorites include the Met (with Cloisters) in NYC, and the National Gallery and Sackler-Freer in D.C.

9. The ever-changing sky, day or night.

10. Being appreciative of all of the good and joyful things in my life.

I'd like to share this award with the following talented food bloggers:
Sarah Jayne of  Weekend Carnivore
Margot of  Coffee and Vanilla
Flying Lily of  BentoBabe
Marisa of  All in Good Food

Finally....Thank you Lia of Bentolicious for sharing the "I Love Your Blog" award with me! I love your beautiful bento blog, Lia! Your bento art always astounds and delights :)


Happy bentoing!
