whoa. i’m on a roll this week with posts! i hope i’m not raising expectations here… i reserve the right to not post at all some weeks. when it rains it pours, i guess.
contents (spiraling inward, clockwise from top right):
- sakura of golden beet, radish, and haricots verts
- brown rice prepared sushi-style with ume (plum) vinegar
- french breakfast radishes (from my garden!!)
- lupine (also called lupini or lupin) beans
- seedless black grapes
- cherry sauce bottle containing worcestershire sauce (for the egg)
- lychee
- cubed hard boiled egg topped with a radish and golden beet sakura
- raw haricots verts
- grape tomatoes
all of this in my black skull bento box… a funny contrast to the cute and pretty flower theme.
Oh, wow. That is stunning and looks so delicious! I love what you did with the egg.
It is a still life with sakura – beautiful!
I love your site, and these images are amazing & beautiful. Bravo!
Beautiful photo and bento! I can’t wait to get my own bento box, but I just know it will be the beginning of a very big and long-running addiction!
@jessica, @blorgie – thanks for the kind words!
@jasmine – hi there! i miss you. robyn and i were thinking of trying to get the crew together on one of the harbor islands for a picnic at some point this summer… what do you think? also, let me know when you’re going tailgating for the breakers next!
@rainbowsanddaydreams – it’s the very best in obsessions. :) not too expensive, really, if you don’t let yourself constantly buy new boxes. i started out with tupperware…
Wow, this looks fantastic!
thanks! it was definitely fun and tasty to eat.
I only hope my bento is half as beautiful and delicious as yours. Wow! drooling.
seriously, i would kill to have parmesan pesto lamb & mashed potato in my bento. :) but thank you!
OK lets do a Swap Bento Day!!!!
