Today's bento reflects amber-golden tones from the vibrant and mild November we've enjoyed thus far. Lunch features a curried chicken salad, bright with healthful turmeric and studded with almonds, pistachios and apples.
Thin slices of bright rainbow chard stems and edible viola blossoms accent the salad along with a "ginkgo" of tart Granny Smith apple. For more autumnal golden flavor, pureed Kabocha squash with ginger and some golden beet flowers. Yummy pumpkin-spice bread topped with cream cheese, pumpkin butter and pistachio surrounded by a "mosaic" of candied ginger and papaya pieces for dessert....
Lunch companion: a little Japanese owl!

Have a great Thursday, friends!

Hee! Thanks, Robin dear :D
Wow! This is one of my favorite to date (and that's sayin' something!). Such beautiful colors, and I'm a bit jealous of those fall trees as well (there's some here in Chicago, but in the city it's just not the same). Love the neko pix too! :)

Funny we have an orange cat now hanging around our house and Neji feels like he's being invaded. The orange cat runs when we go outside to say hi!
