Hi Bento pals! Today's bento features some farmer's market finds and looks forward to Halloween with a nori kitty roaming on a ground of local squash with an edible flower accent. A potato-onion tortilla wedge is garnished with baby marigolds, part of Wisteria Gardens "Sweet and Spicy" greens mix (the snow pea shoots are part of that same festive blend).
A sesame cookie from a Middle Eastern bakery is topped here with local goat cheese and half a Concord grape...more grapes and a lady apple also inside. Speaking of the farmer's market, this weekend was the second to last before it ends for the season...
market selections, back home:
Have a great week!

I am loving your fall farmer's market pictures. I bet you will miss you weekly excursions when they shut down for the season. A sweet nori kitty. You must be just having so much fun.

The squash is a perfect fall color! Love the sunset hues. Also envious of your fall leaves, WOW!

Love the colours of fall in your bento and all the photos there! You cut the nori kitty free hand? So nicely done!
Absolutely perfect! Beautiful fall/halloween bento!
Hi Jenn, I love all your fall colors in the bentos! Cute little apple and your black cat is perfect!

I sure hope you have a wonderful week! See you soon!
Very very nice and perfect bento Jenn! Who's the owner of that black cat? hihihi ... I love ♥ it! I am enjoying all your beautiful pictures :)
Hi Izumi, whats up, buddy? So nice to have you stop by! I love your pretty, elegant bentos which I wish I knew how to make, full of yummy authentic Japanese dishes:D
The tortilla was simple--sliced potatoes, cooked in olive oil with sliced onion, eggs poured over top, baked in oven until set!
Aw, thanks Jenn! Loved your description, have a great day :D!
Hi Robin! Yes, I will miss this one and will need to check out some of the year-round options in the area...do markets in your part of CA stay open? Thanks for your sweet comments, hope you are also enjoying autumn!
Hi Emily, that would be so fun! Looking forward to your cute bento productions this week :D!
Hi sherimiya, love the phrase "sunset hues"! Thanks for that beautiful description and for your sweet comments...happy Tuesday!
Hi Ai Ping, thanks so much! Yep, kitty cut freehand, nori's fun to work with that way I think :D!
Aw, thank you Susan, so delightful to read your kind comments! Yay for fall/halloween bento season :D
Hi Lyndsey! Hubby said same thing about his Florida years, that being from upstate NY he missed the autumn foliage display (but the tropical beauty of your locale always transports me!)
Glad you liked the kitty and I hope you'll have a wonderful week, too! Thanks for always sharing your warmth and foodie enthusiasm here and at your awesome blogs :D
Hi Lia, I aspire to make bentos as perfect as yours! Hope all is very well with you and family :D!
Ahaha, both of us came across with black kitties :D, how fun! I always enjoy your photos of farmer market's local products, share some with me please... ;D
Wow, gorgeous and tasty! I love the idea of edible flowers, wonderful!
Yeah Ta, that was really cool, black kitties FTW! I love this seasonal theme...
Heather, you are so sweet, thanks a bunch! I find edible flowers hard to resist :)
Beautiful beautiful pictures and bento .... I keep looking at all those colorful fruits and veggies. I should go to the farmers market and see what we have here in Bellingham.
Hi there Lina, thanks for your lovely comments! I'd be excited to see images from your Bellingham market! :D
Hi Bento bird, great post...thats one pretty awesome looking bento
Hi Ron! Thanks for such a nice comment...enjoyed visiting your spirited blog :D
Yes, we have a couple year round farmer's markets close by, though not as convenient as two blocks down the street ;-) It is getting chilly and we've had our first rain. Time to reset my cooking tastebuds to stews, soups and slow cooking. The squash harvests have been getting my attention. I hope your wanderings are as delightful as your summer inspirations.
Hi Robin! Oh, so cool to have year-around markets. Yes indeed, time to explore the savory joys of stews, soups and slow cooking...looking forward to great cooler-weather inspiration from your blog, yum!
Bento kitties are so cute! Thanks for sharing the pictures of all the beautiful fall colors in your area. :)
Hi Kuusou, delightful comments, thank you for sharing! Have a fun Halloween weekend!
