Steps to make Elmo and Cookie Monster Charaben:
- Wrap the rice in plastic wrap to make round onigiri (rice balls).
- Cover the surface with the "decofuri" coloring furikake. Cover with the plastic wrap again to make the furikake adhere to the rice.
- If the "decofuri" furikake is not adhering and melting on the surface of the rice, microwave the rice balls for 10 to 20 seconds.

- Cut out the eyes and mouths from nori seaweed and stick them on to finish. If you give the top part of Elmo's mouth a ragged edge, it will be more Elmo-like.
Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood
For the most part, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try to eat an egg and feel happier!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for elevating your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to fight depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping raise your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which can help your mood too. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you feel healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods also!
So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Test out these hints instead!
