Oops, my bento description on flickr was confusing...the rolls were homemade, but the salmon store-bought :) Can you imagine the amazing, customized flavors that could be created with small-scale, fish smoking?!<br />Yes, the herbal green flavor of shiso was a really nice counterpoint to the fatty, salty salmon...I just love shiso and will be attempting to grow it this year. Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful comments, my friend and have a great weekend :)Bentobirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608484496354584828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996438764312982226.post-73934257625610041042010-05-14T07:00:53.826-04:002010-05-14T07:00:53.826-04:00Dear sherimiya, that was such a sweet comment, wo...Dear sherimiya, that was such a sweet comment, wow! Glad to read that you will be visiting your mom soon--I'm sure it will be a wonderful time shared :) The Greenmarket is special, and it seems more farmers markets are opening across the city as NY goes increasingly green...a beautiful thing to see. I look forward to exploring your coast more someday--San Fran and Portland beckon!Bentobirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608484496354584828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996438764312982226.post-44149597435706227652010-05-14T06:43:52.283-04:002010-05-14T06:43:52.283-04:00Hi KidsDreamWork, many thanks for your visit and k...Hi KidsDreamWork, many thanks for your visit and kind comments!

The herbal taste must be fantastic with the salmon and avocado. :)<br /><br />Your mother sounds like an amazing influence -- her pastel flowers are beautiful. I really love seeing how your art forms are similar despite being in different mediums.<br /><br />Also, your family cat is hilarious! That would be me, by the way, if I were presented with all of that yummy food. ;)hypothermyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373744876135488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996438764312982226.post-72371718808423509032010-05-13T20:54:26.264-04:002010-05-13T20:54:26.264-04:00Now I see where you get your delicate sensibility,...Now I see where you get your delicate sensibility, Jenn. Your mom is as talented and beautiful at heart as you! So happy you were able to spend the weekend with her. I love my mom and can't wait to see her myself, in a few weeks! <br />I love Union Square Greenmarket!! So lovely to "see" it here :) Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Chinatown too, exploring and shopping!<br />Love you beautiful bento and story. Thanks once again for the trip across the country for me!Happy Little Bentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715208750492287214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996438764312982226.post-6977760014036702302010-05-13T19:51:36.483-04:002010-05-13T19:51:36.483-04:00Lovely green garden bento, healthy and yummy!
