Princess Bubblegum Sushi Tutorial (Adventure Time)

I was going to make some "Tree Trunks Apple Crepes" today but my crepes didn't turn out as I liked them so I'll probably revise the recipe soon. I woke up early today and decided to use up the last of my white rice and my cooked brown rice in my favorite shapable food - sushi. I hope that you like it - and so I've included a tutorial for it. What would you like to see next from me?

Step 1. Have two tones of WARM rice - one a light pink/purple and the other a bright red, orange or hot pink. You can alternate if you wish but otherwise it wouldn't be Princess Bubblegum.


Step 2. Flatten your darker rice down and use a rubber spatula to make it more rectangular. Make sure that it is even.


Step 3. Make your lighter rice into a cylinder shape as best as you possibly can and place in the middle of the dark rice.

Step 4. Roll half of your dark rice over (make sure that its all still warm) using the plastic wrap and squeeze tightly but gently. Pinch and squeeze the sides together as much as possible so that they form together and pinch to make the hair a bit (however you like).

Step 5. Make sure that your sushi rice colors align together correctly, wet your knife and wipe on a paper towel. Slice your sushi thickly to keep it from falling apart, repeat the wetting and continue. Then you can make the crown. 

How To Make A Crown

Step 1. Start out with a nice yellow mini pepper or large yellow paper and ensure that there are no spots. 




Step 2. Cut your pepper in half lengthwise and (if you wish) you can remove the ribs and seeds.


















Step 3. Cut a triangle from one of the pepper slices, cut two triangles from that and carefully carve two little circles into the side for roundness. Try to cut a circular knotch for her gem on top, add a radish slice to the top and then place on top of your sushi.




Decorate your sushi as you like, serve with tempura and enjoy!

How To Make A Finn Sandwich (Adventure Time Tutorial)

This is a very simple and quick way to jazz up your sandwich for the fourth season of Adventure Time! Great for picnics, snack breaks after rescuing princesses or just to enjoy on your own!

 The first step is bread - what's a sandwich without bread? A not-wich it is! And Jake would have nothing to do with it - make sure that your bread is sturdy enough to handle any cutting or slicing but soft enough to imprint on. You can put everything in your sandwich now and cut with it or add your stuff later.


Use a cookie cutter or jar top to lightly press a circle or an oval (pinch the top sides lightly) shape into the bread. Make sure to have both pieces of bread together so that they kind of suction together enough for cutting.


Next, lightly place your top back on and use a knife to cut off the crusts. Use a pair of scissors to snip his hat ears carefully
'

Add some raisins, natural food dye or nori to your sandwich for his eyes and mouth then use cheese, parsnips or radishes for the teeth. Add your fillings and then enjoy!

How Bentos Destroyed My Life

A key to my doom.
I'm sure that you guys "Ooh" and "Aah" at my bentos consistently. Bright pinks, clean whites, creative and so healthy for you in all sorts of ways - its like a rainbow for your mouth. At least...that's what I thought and soon I found out that I had become addicted and spent most of my hours trying to think up of what to do next. Every lunch hour I would show off my adorable meals to my friends but soon they got used to it and criticized it and I was losing my emotional high. "Is that the best you can do? The Cat in The Hat is totally missing a line" they would say...except I never made a bento like that so I'm not quite sure what happened there. Soon I was an outcast because they were jealous of my amazing food and I knew not where to turn.

 I felt that I needed to be better and faster to regain their friendship! I went all around the city just searching for the perfect bento box and after being found underneath the tables at a garage sale whilst I clung to damaged and spaghetti-stained Tupperware I knew that I had a problem. It wasn't until I attempted to build my own bento box that my breaking point had come, I was just trying to neatly pack everything and then...(this is so hard to finish typing) the chopsticks snapped in half...in a panic I went to search the pantry for more and spilled the soy sauce everywhere! What happened next is too horrible to tell you - but I will tell you this; I am now typing this with my tongue. Not only is there cat dander on this keyboard...I know that I will never be able to make bentos again! Nobody wants food from "Dandertongue McCattypants" which I assume they will all call me by the time this is posted.

There's a place called "Bento Rehab" for people like me...maybe it will get better soon and I can bare to look at a lunchbox or tempura again but until then I know what I have to do. I'll stand up and I'll state "My name is Bou Shin. And I am a bentoholic."







Happy April Fools Day, everyone! ^^
