2 C sour cream or plain yoghurt (I used a bit of both here)

Dill, to taste (I like lots, so I probably used a tablespoon of dried... fresh would be lovely if available)
Stir it up. Done.

I keep telling myself I'll have time and creative energy to craft a brilliant blog, but as of right now, adjusting to the shift from school/working part-time to working full-time and recovering from the Semester of Hell is pretty much sapping my resources. Not to mention that I want to spend whatever free time I get outside, as the weather has finally decided to be gorgeous. Ah, well. Better get to making my rice cake soup for lunch!

Yes, of course I love my bento! The perfect gift! And I loved filling it with Three Samurai sushi while making a memory with my children!
