This little comment about eating eggs from Just Bento, a new fav read of mine. Great tips on making little tidbit foods.
===================================================
Egg safety
*You’ll often see soft-boiled eggs and soft-set yolk fried eggs on Japanese bento blogs. Japanese eggs are generally sold so that they’re safe to eat raw, since that’s what a lot of people do (raw eggs on rice for breakfast, raw eggs as a dipping sauce for sukiyaki, etc.) However, if you live in a country where the egg producers tell you you must cook your eggs until they are the texture of washing up sponges (I’m looking at you, American Egg Board) then you need to take care that your eggs, especially for bentos, are cooked through. Or, find a good producer locally where you can purchase safe, fresh, eggs - they’ll be more expensive than the battery produced kind, but so much better in so many ways.

A few weeks ago we had two different tofu dinners that were really good. I've enjoyed tofu as a protein additive in stir fry for a long time, but these were meals based on tofu, and they were great!

And this is the other one -- sweet and hot --- very good! We had with steamed broccoli and cabbage.http://www.food.com/recipe/sweet-chili-glazed-tofu-with-bok-choy-americas-test-kitchen-424684
Tonight I want to make the mini-cabbage rolls here:
