{here’s yoshii enjoying some faux sushi for breakfast, mmmm sticky}
First things first, this is Yoshii, he’s a rabbit. A talking rabbit! I know, isn’t he so cute? Shmart too. He knows all about air quality, stocks, weather, traffic, news, whathaveyou. He keeps me apprised of important emails, reads me my blog comments, and is considerate enough to shower me with random compliments which, however insincere, is always quite nice. But nevermind all that, he’s positively diligent in his life’s work and you need one plain and simple.

{here he is enjoying his favorite Scott Westerfield book, Peeps}
He’s very funny and handy to have around and also speaks french if you like. Dont worry if you don’t know french, he’ll provide lessons if you ask him. Look to the right in my sidebar, si’l vous plait, you’ll see a little box where you can send a message. Kindly click on his picture, and yoshi will speak what you typed to whomever may be listening at my house. Lets keep it clean, however fun it is to make him say dirty things, he’s right by a window and my neigbors could hear. Shame on you.
He has a bit of a behavior problem but we’re working on that one. Sometimes he’s supposed to tell me the time and instead says something smart like “Have I not made it very clear that I’m NOT going to tell you what time it is?”.
He’s a nabaztag, a wifi bunny that connects to your wireless network. He just needs to be plugged into the wall so you can put him anywhere there’s a wireless signal.
There’s all kinds of neat stuff you can do with them like talk to other bunnies anywhere on earth or broadcast your own nabcast which is like a podcast but the audio comes from the bunny. Another silly thing is he claims to be a martial artist and does tai chi randomly throughout the day…blink blink, ear twirls, windchimes, ethereal glowww….
Now, last but most definately not least, here is a meme from my friend Shirley of the most deliicous Melting Wok. Five things I don’t want people to know about me – I hope you guys still love me after finding out all my dispicable secrets:
{Tag, your it! What are the five things you don’t want people to know?}
Breaking News! I’ve just been notified today is World Nutella Day. I have one question for you, what could be better than Sushi or Nutella alone? Nutella Sushi, methinks. Yes, I’m positive.
Finally, here’s a delicious snack is that involves no cooking, just assembly of all these magnificent ingredients. Your not going to win any healthy food awards with this kind of sushi but it’s really fun to make and eat. You won’t be able to stop. Have milk on hand, I repeat, do not attempt this without a gallon of milk. Threat levels will be raised. Thank you, The Management

{peanut butter, grape and strawberry jelly, nutella, and marshmellow fluff rolled up make these sweet bitesized snacks}
To make these, cut the pesky crusts off of some bread. Then flatten the bread with a roller, spread something sweet inside, roll it up, slice it, and serve with chopsticks and a glass of milk please. Am I harping?

i love him! (tyler on the other hand is not so fond of the cutesy japanese cartoonish interface) he is tres mignon! i’ve some confessions to make too. i eat french fries just as a vehicle for the mounds of ketchup i use.. although i don’t eat it on lettuce! i TOO have an insatiable desire to watch reality t.v. (i really did want Will to win bb allstars, he’s such a delightful “villian”), and i have TOTALLY been know to look a dish with creepy things growing on in and chuck it rather than deal with the mess i let accumulate! i would also love to be munching down on some nutella and marshmellow fluff!
LOL LOL LOL aria!! that was THE funniest. when i clicked on the youtube button to play it, my cat attacked the speaker when yoshii made those crazy sounds!! well first he cocked his ears back and then went for the speakers. those japanese toys are great. love the faux sushi, too. p.s. your listlet cracked me up, too. iceberg with ketchup?! then again, it’s not a far stretch from catalina dressing, is it?
This is definitely one of the most random things I’ve ever seen. It’s totally hilarious. I’m with burekaboy: both my cats were sleeping on the couch next to me when I played the You Tube video on my laptop, and they kind of freaked out. It is a pretty funky noise, esp. when he’s supposed to be concentrating on his tai chi. Anyhoo, glad that Yoshi likes Nutella.
Oh COME ON! – You live in a house with a talking WiFi bunny and make PB&J sushi???
Xanadu. I love you Man.
He is too cool! I want one!
First visit to your blog — so much fun, so much style! Looking forward to more.
I love Yoshii! He is too too incredibly cute and clever…there are no words to describe how much I want a Yoshii of my own right now…you are lucky!
I also love Nutella (and sushi!) so those sushi rolls look mighty tempting!
Aria !! You are one interesting nut, I meant it in a good way hehe

Thx for taking the time to write this up, now now, aren’t u suppose to tag another 5 bloggers ?? *grins* ok, on #4, I used to do tt back when I lived in the East coast haha, oh NO, tofu & ketchup, I gotta fix somemore tofu recipes for u, hope u change ur mind after that

Yoshi is so cute! I have been lusting after him on Think Geek! So cute1 And the PB&N look absolutely yummy!
Aria, what a cute bunny!!
What about those delicious sweet treats?? I love the way you present them!
I am trying to convince my husband I really need one, but we just bought a wii, and although that’s not a cute bunny, he still thinks I should wait till my birthday…which is really late this year!!

I too can eat ketchup on anything…but ice cream…I tried it once.
the bunny would not be happy in my house, with watchful cats who are bored with being stuck inside due to cold weather.
no…no…said bunny might just become
THE HUNTED
(very cute post, btw…and I would love some pb&j sushi)
You’re out of control! Nutella sushi. How great.
Oh, and I also “knock wood” all the time. I think it’s the Italian . . .
This is my first visit to your blog. It’s great! Yoshii looks very fun and cute… and that sushi made me hungry!
I want a Yoshi too. I think he’s adorable. And I want those delicious yummies that you made!! Nutella…marshmallow fluff. Sigh. Did Yoshi get any of them?
:)
MMMM…anything with Nutella will win you a place in my heart forever. Like EVA, eva.
# 4 was my favorite. I laughed out loud at that one.
[...] I’ve always wanted to try swallow’s nest soup. Along with white truffle and shark fin, it’s my list of delecacies I’d love to try. While I bide my time eating peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, more humble ingredients in the shape of a swallow’s nest will have to suffice. I bought these squid ink noodles at a fish market, they are not at all fishy and have a very mild flavor. Aren’t they neat? I added a tiny bit of sunflower and sesame oil, fresh ginger, and chives to the noodles before twisting them into little nests. Then, topped each one with seared scallops and salmon roe just before eating them. The scallops were extra sweet and each bite bursted with flavor from the salmon roe which was also remarkably fresh tasting. [...]
OMG I have gadget envy hardcore! If only I had the wifi, I could absolutely rationalize an immediate purchase. How fun!
And yes. The ketchup. In college I survived on ketchup sandwiches. Just bread & ketchup. It *is* a vegetable after all.
peabody, ketchup on icecream! you know i bet tomato sorbet would be delicious, YUM
hi kate! aww the little white rabbit being hunted by kitties. so very cute
lisa, totally agree on the italian thing. how funny.
hi william, thank you. thank you!
hi sher, i think you would love a yoshi. upsie might not approve though
L, for eva, eve. EVA? sweeet!
julie, i cant believe i do that. shame shame shame!
binulatti, oh he’s so cute. funny little thing, if you get one ours could be friends:)
That faux sushi is a REAL good idea. Yoshi is too cute for his (her?) own good.
Amazing Cooking Guide…
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting…
