I figured out why the recipe was so spicy last time -- I used 2 whole jalapeños instead of just 2 tablespoons. Whoops! I used less this time and although it didn't hurt as much, it just wasn't spicy enough.

Anyway, click here for the recipe.

My first Mr B at the new place. Lighting sucks, obviously. Chicken katsu and rice, cereal, and cinnamon bread.

I can't wait to settle in so I can start posting food to be proud of again.

( But look again! )


I'm convinced this model was made for an American -- or at least English-speaking -- market. The box*, label on the actual jar, and the instructions were all in English.

*The box also contained an offer for a free Zojirushi pen for filling out the enclosed survey, which included the following question:

"What do you think of the forked spoon?
a. Excellent, use it with lunch jar
b. OK, but rarely use
c. Indifferent
d. Would rather have a different utensil _______
e. Other _______"

Kudos to Zojirushi on their market research.

I'm planning on making a new bag for him since the bag he came with is a little blah. I'm looking to this (different views here and here) for some guidance.
