Beautiful colors in the bento biggie! I went to Casa Lucas today to try to find some Lizano sauce (did I just butcher any of that spelling? haha) You know the market on 24th and Florida if I'm spelling it wrong! Anyways, they didn't have any, but I got some fruit and Popsicles (the vanilla rum one was especially delicious!) Then went across the street and got some red coconut jelly roll slice too... This weekend is gunna be a sweet one!

I wanted to ask you what your nickname on LJ means??? Does the SS stand for Soy sauce or South San Francisco?? I can't figure it out! Bye!

Thanks vanillacupcake! Too bad about Casa Lucas -- I hope the market a block and a half west on 24th (south side of the street) has some as I'm on my last bottle! I seem to recall that the big Mexican market in San Mateo a few doors down from Lullaby Lane also has it, but it'd be worth a phone call before driving down.

As for my LJ name, Biggie is short for Bigfoot -- an old nickname. Unfortunately "Biggie" and other variations were already taken on LJ when I was creating an account, so I just tacked on SS. Super Speedy? Silly String? Sassy Santa?

Did you make the croquettes yourself?

No, these were frozen store-bought croquettes (Shirakiku brand). I've also got some ham ones from Goya in the freezer I've been meaning to try out as well. One of these days!

beautiful colors!

Your croquettes look gorgeous... I was wondering if you fry them in a pan or with a deep frying machine? XD mine never turn out that good looking.

I deep-fried these in a 2-quart Windsor pan between 340-350 deg. F. Thanks!

My kids love Corn cream croquettes, too! So easy and tasty. There are some brands that their croquettes can be cooked in microwave for 1 minute. I usually wrap one or two croquettes in paper towl and nuke them...

Good tip on the microwave croquettes! Ooh, now I have a craving for crab cream croquettes -- do you know a good place to get them? I don't remember seeing them at Nijiya.
