Totally Stolen from Recipe Rascal, Thanks Jusy Robertson - Sixty Minute Rolls Recipe

Sixty Minute Rolls Recipe

• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 packages active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  

Combine milk, water and butter. Bring to baby-bottle warm. To start the yeast fast, dissolve the sugar and the yeast in the milk mixture. Add the flour, a little at a time, until you get your desired consistency.

Knead and place in an oiled, covered container. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Punch down and shape into about 24 small rolls. Put in a shallow, greased baking pan. Sides should just touch--don't pack. You have to work quickly because this dough rises fast! Let the shaped rolls rise for 15 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 450° oven for 12 minutes or until nicely browned.

Anime Has Changed My Children's Eating Habits

On a quest for rice balls and takoyaki. Since I have been watching One Piece and Sailor Moon in Japanese, practically every night, we have been eating a bit differently. I find I am going through rice at a breakneck speed and soy sauce was always a staple, but now I am purchasing much more. The foods are delicious, but I will be making a trip to Little Tokyo for takoyaki( fried octopus balls) soon.

My daughter had me buy kuro yokan from Asianfoodgrocer.com. It took her three weeks to finish it. That will not be on the buy list anytime soon.

Alice.com

Finally ordered from Alice.com. The rates are not great at this website, but I love the fact that you can order from their website and set up scheduled reminders for things like aluminum foil or razors. It is a great idea for a busy mom or dad.

Those that have goods they would like to sell can contact the site. Excellent for growing a brand.

The upside is that it has free shipping. The downside is that you have to order six items and if you have a store that delivers in your area, paying for their delivery may even out the costs of ordering from Alice.com.

I will order again.

Update: July 2, 2010- Have ordered since then. I can't help it.I love basics coming to my home and the shipping is free. However, it takes about 7 days for me to receive my items. I am on the west coast and ity looks like they ship fromIllinois.

Bento&co | The Bento Shop | Ojue

Absolutely adorable ways to carry lunch. It is also an excellent way to keep figures in check. I love bento boxes. Organization is key.

The Ojue box has three independent compartments. You can stack them all up, or just use one or two of them, thanks to the adjustable band that holds the compartments together securely. Despite its slimness (only 5.5 cm (2.16") wide), it's big enough for a adult male appetite if you use all three compartments. 

A pair of matching folding chopsticks (half black, half the main color of the box), which can be stored neatly on top of the upper compartment, is included.
