Tofu Tuesday: Tofu’s Grotto

Tofu hangs out in our backyard from morning to night. He has free reign of his little kingdom which includes a decent sized backyard and all of the underside of the house and deck. It gets pretty hot outside in the summer though and he’s pruned and landscaped to his exacting shade and size requirements. Behind our shed, within the bushes, Tofu the bunny has hollowed out a nifty grotto to relax in the heat of the summer afternoon. This is where we will find him on a hot day. This shady green cave has at least 3 entrances and plenty of room for a bunny to stretch out.

Tofu Tuesday: Kitchen Scales

My sister got me this set of kitchen scales for Christmas. Of course, the first thing we weighed was this little dude. Tofu’s diet hasn’t resulted in any weight loss, in fact, at 2.6kg he’s gained 100 grams since he was last weighed. Still, his diet was for better health rather than weight loss so it’s not a complete loss. He hasn’t required a bath since his diet started so that is a very, very good thing. A new year often brings eating related resolutions, but being healthy should always outweigh weight loss. Wishing you all a happy new year and enjoyment of the good life.

Tofu Tuesday: Christmas Garnish

Our feijoa tree is in flower and the flowers and leaves look very much like pohutukawa which is considered to be our native Christmas tree. Tofu the bunny loves feijoas and he also loves these leaves and flowers. Getting him to pose for these photos without gobbling them up was no small accomplishment.

Tofu Tuesday: Onitsuka Tigers

In March last year, I blogged about these Onitusuka Tiger rabbbit sneakers by Erik Kriek. They didn’t have them in my size back then and I had already resigned myself to never owning the limited edition kicks. Well last month, thanks to this blog, a lady from the other side of the world contacted me about a brand new pair that also happened to be my size. They arrived last week they fit me perfectly. Tofu gave them his seal of approval.

Tofu Tuesday: Dredd 3D

The actor Karl Urban is from New Zealand and his latest movie Dredd – based on the comic Judge Dredd – looks promising. I bet you didn’t know that Tofu was originally offered the part but turned it down due to other commitments. He was a bit disappointed but these things happen. To cheer him up, The Koala and I fashioned a bunny sized Dredd helmet out of some card. What do you think?

Tofu Tuesday: Tofu’s Nursery

We recently picked up a new sideboard for the kitchen which meant a bit of rearranging and we bumped a set of white drawers into Tofu’s “room”. With a few items from our bunny collection, Tofu’s room now reminds me of a baby’s nursery. Sloth painting bottom right is by my sister Joanne Ho. Tofu seems to like it. He said it is totally reminiscent of bunny Ikea.

Tofu Tuesday: Upholstered Chair

A few years ago, I roped my friend A and my sister and her boyfriend into doing an upholstery class with me. This the chair I re-upolstered, sanded and stained. I have yet to sew the buttons  on and the fabric panel on the back requires attaching but it looks legit from the front so I don’t think about it. Tofu judges my handiwork.

Tofu Tuesday: New Glasses

I got new glasses a few weeks ago. I splurged a little, I don’t regret it one bit. These new specs have bigger lenses and thinner arms meaning that I can see heaps more than before. They’re also very comfortable. I donned my old glasses to snap this photo and was struck by how uncomfortable my previous pair were. Tofu also approves.
