Cute Food Is Always Better

I don't know about you, but I usually fly the sort of airline that gives you nothing more to eat than a tiny bag containing six peanuts no matter how long the flight is.  Cheap, I mean to say.  So these meals on EVA Air's new Hello Kitty jets didn't just appeal to me because of the incredibly cute Hello Kitty shaped butter pats.  I'm shocked find myself saying it about airline food, but those meals look rather tasty, colorful, and attractively presented.

Look at the cute bento boxes they give to kids!  I wonder if they would give me one of these if I asked really, really nicely.

Unfortunately, traveling in Taiwan is not on my agenda any time soon, and that is where EVA Air  is based.  But you know what would make up for my disappointment about that?

One of these aprons, that's what.

P.S.  I discuss EVA Air's adorable acoutrements that would ease the pain of airline travel over at Third Floor With Water View.

Pretty Cool

I've been thinking about this Mobile Foodie Survival Kit ever since I saw it in InStyle magazine. (What? It advertised "10 Style Rules You Should Break" and I needed to know what they were. It turns out I'm breaking them all, but not necessarily in a good way.)

I'm captivated by the idea of having herbs and spices on the go. Or maybe I'm captivated by the idea of needing herbs and spices on the go: spending the month of July in the Hamptons, or renting a condo in Barbados for a week in February. Or most exciting of all, being on an Everest expedition and needing a little wasabi to perk up my dehydrated yak.

The whole kit is about the size of a book, so I could easily fit both it and my NOOK into my luggage and be ready for all literary and culinary emergencies that may arise. I'd be like a slightly nerdy superhero.
