mirin carrots bento

 
Hi there! A quick bento today with sliced yellow and purple/orange carrots braised in mirin and then lightly steamed, served up with dilled salmon salad and fresh-picked arugula.
Scenes from the garden--spring is on the way!

I love how your bentos always look so natural and especially the flowers and greens that you use.
Lucky you, to be blessed with such a climate. Here it is below zero still. I ventured out to our allotment garden today, but besides lambs lettuce there was nothing edible to be found. Even to cold for the chives to sprout and grow.
So I appreciate and enjoy your pictures showing me that spring eventually is going to reach me as well.

P.S. Fingers crossed that my chives will bloom, my first time growing them...
