What the hell is a flying green song-rabbit?!
Grongbit (GReen sONG rabBIT) is the result of our nicknames combined. "Our" meaning the three founding authors. The flying comes from our guest-turned-permanent blogger, Butterfly Coffin.
And yes, rabbits can too fly, sing and be green.

Oh Bento!
I was amazingly bored at home and decided to make Porkie a lunch box.
Also, first draft for my cheese custard lemon chiffon pie and it's review during Games Night yesterday.
The cheese custard lemon chiffon pie is a pretty simple pie to make. I used several recipes and improvised on the cheese part to create the huge-assed named food, and after thinking through different scales I finally settled on one.
Separating the egg whites and egg yolks. I'm getting pretty good at that! I only got a LITTLE bit of yolk in the whites. Note to self: Use 1 less egg.
Set that aside and started on the crust.
Not a shabby crust, if I do say so myself. Note to self: Add more sugar.
Popped it in the fridge, but what really should've happened was put it in the oven to bake. Instead I cheated and used the grill (as usual). I need to get myself a toaster oven, those bitches are bad.
Cooking the egg custard on stovetop. Add egg whites a while later.
Pretty stiff yeah? NOT STIFF ENOUGH. Note to self: Use electric beater.
All nice. Pop it in the fridge.
Not bad for a first try, although I wish I didn't cut corners and did it the proper way. I was short on time! In the end it did taste very nice, and I added some orange marmalade which wasn't in the recipe.
The leftover-egg-white-disaster runoff was used to cook a pancake.
In the end it was still too runny to be a pancake, but at least it has the consistency of custard now...
HOWEVER.
I am not a failure as a cook.
I made THIS:
White rice packed tightly into 40% with diced char siu, tamagoyaki, garlic stir-fried Chinese broccoli (leftovers) with fish balls (soup leftovers) and tomato quarters.
Looks yummy yeah yeah? Looks good yeah?
I am not a failure!
