halloween kitten bento

Hi bento pals! A quick post for today with a bento of farmer's market greens, edible flowers, tangy green tomatoes and in keeping with Halloween, a tiny nori kitten peeking out from behind a baby yellow pepper! Her pink nose is pickled ginger.

Rounding out lunch: teriyaki saury, asparagus and maple-cut polenta...
A cute hand painted Halloween pumpkin seen at the farmer's market
Our crepe myrtle turned electrically bright in the last few days and has started to drop its vibrant leaves...
I've been enjoying all the cute and spooky holiday bentos this week...Happy Halloween!

  1. Your nori kitten is like hiding behind a pumpkin, so cute! Love the set with the beautiful fall leaves. Your farmer's market is a great place to explore ... never saw hand painted pumpkin before :)

  2. Hi Lia! Thanks, that's the effect I hoped she'd have :) The leaves are really bright this year and stood out even more against today's gray, rainy sky. See you at your beautiful blog...

  4. The nori kitten is so cute. Did you use something as filling for the nori, or just the sheets themselves?

  16. I am thoroughly enjoying your fall colors and today's bento. I am thinking I must plant a crepe myrtle here. The sweet kitten reminds me of my black cat Lena. Hope you have a great Halloween!

  17. Hi Robin, so glad to read this! Here in the DC area, crepe myrtle provides beauty through the seasons, and even in winter its stark black buds are interesting and attract birds!

    Hope to see Lena on your blog or Flickr someday and Happy Halloween :D!
