Self-Sacrifice

I made sushi for 15 people last week and for reason, even though I hadn't made any for myself, I was full by the time I was done. Magic!

Xmas Comic Part 1

Catching up on a few Christmas-related comics before the year ends! Here's part 1, based on an actual dream I had after Christmas dinner at G's parents' place...

Things I do when G is out of town

I guess it's mostly about eating.

Chew

Chew, Nozomi, chew.

Out

Just another ordinary day.

But the waitress will judge me

I'm just really, really that lame.

Greasy Spoon

Greasy spoon diner breakfast in Brooklyn before flying out this afternoon. The portions were ginormous and G and I might have to be rolled onto the plane. oof.

Dining with an Asian Mother

I'm working on a silly little booklet called An Idiot's Guide to Dining with an Asian Mother. This was originally to be the assignment for another art college I was applying to, but since I accepted elsewhere, I'm working on slowly finishing it up for myself. Here's a sneak peek at the cover and a page from the booklet. It looks pretty bare now, but I'm thinking of being brave and using some colour (for once!).

Of course, G and Mama are my models.

Pre-Eating

I'm small(ish), but I have a pretty big appetite. Hence, pre-eating.

Reasons for pre-eating:

(1) When I think the restaurant we're going to is going to be expensive. (So that I'll eat less and hence spend less money. Mostly in Japan. ha!)

(2) When I don't think the food is going to be that good. (So I don't have to eat too much.)

(3) When I don't think the food will be enough.

(4) When I'm going to meet someone for the first time, so I don't have to concentrate too much on the food and not enough on the person. (I talk very little when I'm nervous about meeting someone new, ie. for work/interview/date.)

Does anyone else do this?
