Current obsession : mini cookie cutters

[pomly]

Hey there! RAWR! I took over this blog, and then I got distracted by hibernating and being a big lazy bones. Actually, I don't have any bones. So I did not write so much on this blog since the takeover. Hey so what! RAWR! I have been laying around in the sunny spot on the big bed when the grownups are busy doing important things. See how sunny it

the black is likely nori (seaweed) which is often used to accent cute bento lunches for kids in japan :) it adds a salty crisp lightness to foods - yum!

I tried to cut some nori shapes but it didn't cut too good. They have hole punchers for making shapes with nori! I want them so bad! They didn't have any at my local Japanese market, so I think I will have to order some. I found them on ebay. Perhaps it is some other kind of seaweed. In the picture on the packaging, (not the part that is shown above,) it looks kind of wet and gooey!

before you place an order for a fancy nori punch, check your local arts and crafts store - paper punches work just fine on dried nori, and come in all SORTS of different fun shapes! you might even have some already!

there are a few kinds of nori, I know; I always get the thin sheets of "paper" kind - having wet and gooey black stuff "decorating" my lunch is not my idea of appetizing! ;)

Oh yeah I can't believe I didn't think of that! I do have a bunch of those punches! Well they do have really cute face shape punches. I won't rush to buy them though. Maybe for my birthday! :)
That makes me think - I want to try the fancy edge scissors on nori too. I wonder if it will work. I have tons of those!
Oh and the mystery has been solved! Click the diagram above to go to flickr and check it out.
