my first onigiri

I'm not going to win any awards for food photography or lighting here, but that's not the point -- I was compelled to eat my first ever (self made) onigiri so quick that it was all I could do to bother with a few photos! I made these via the recipes and tips on JustBento.com -- from the Japanese-style rice to the two kinds of furikake -- it took me an astonishing 2 1/2 to 3 hours from start to finish! I ended up with only six (yes, SIX) onigiri (plus one teensy one I made my mother eat so she could tell me what she thought), because it turned out I had a lot less sticky rice in the pantry than I thought before I undertook this enterprise.
Anyway, I am ridiculously proud. Because they turned out delicious and they are pretty frickin' cute, even if they could be a little tidier. ;)
