Cuter on Paper
I have an adorable pad of natto paper. Really, it is too cute.
What makes it so amusing is the contrast between the rotten nastiness that is natto in real life, and the cute, friendly looking cartoons. In real life, the cords that stick it all together are revolting, but in the cartoon, they are charmingly trying to stretch away from eachother.
I guess it is not really a food post, as much as a pro-Japanese stationery post.
For cute cartoon food, go to Maido.
Ooo, and I got some red Quinoa from Whole Foods. Apparently quinoa is not exactly a grain like rice, and not exactly a seed like sesame, but in between. Which makes it high in fiber and protein. It has a little bit of an odd taste, and it is pretty high in fat, (but it is the good kind, so get over it,) but it is extremely filling and easy to digest. Tossed with mint, parsely, some green onion and red bell pepper, it makes a great cold salad.
