Red is the name of the game in hapa bento's B.O.M.B. event this month--honoring Valentine's Day and heart health awareness! This bento features a heart-shaped salmon cake made with red salmon, red onions, and red peppers, seasoned with fresh ginger, garam masala, pureed tomato-red chili vegetable
curry and red cayenne pepper. The mini red pepper holds mango-ginger chutney; enokis, heart-shaped cukes, snow peas and baby romaine round things out.
The sweets sidecar contains pineapple, nectarine slices, blackberries and a mocha brownie topped with guava-chocolate candies.
This rose bouquet has been a highlight of my week so far! Each bloom is an intensely scented globe of peach, gold, and pink:
More warm colors, reminders of sweet sunny days ahead:
Thanks again, Debra, for hosting this event--I'm looking forward to more red bento menus this month!

Hi babykins!
I'm so glad you liked these warm-toned pictures! I also love Rilakkuma--so unique and cute!! Do you collect any items in this "family"?
I love this post! Can look at those roses forever. My favorite flowers...esp the scented ones..and I love the heirloom ones that seem to overbloom with myriad petals upon petals! I am sooo ready for my bushes to come out of dormancy...
Your bento is superb as well, and the stuffed pepper is charming :) I bet the salmon heart cake was delish! Lovely, lovely.

Hi sherimiya,

Hi Margot and thanks for your visit and kind comments! I love enoki mushrooms :)
I'm not really a sweet tooth but the moccha brownie with candies (I thought they were blueberries) looks SO cute!
What did you do with the enokii-take? You didn't eat them just like that, did you?
Hi there gnoegnoe :)
Thanks for visiting! Haha, yes--the enoki were yummy in between bites of salmon-cake and the chutney pepper!
