Hi, folks! Today's lunch features a little toasted roll filled with scrambled eggs, pesto-yogurt sauce and scallions alongside baby spinach, asparagus and carrots roasted with a dusting of aromatic Aleppo pepper, a unique spice shared by a super bento pal. I made a large batch of the peppered roasted carrots and cannot stop munching on them!
The sweets section includes raspberries, blackberries, a vanilla mini cupcake and a skewer with yummy Meltyblend chocolates (thanks, bento buddy!) and more raspberries...
Sending thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the terrible natural disaster in Japan, and the hope that friends in Asia and on the West Coast remain safe and well. Please visit the Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Tsunami donation site.

Beautiful bento, Jenn! Roasted carrots are so delicious. And have you heard anything from babykins of Soul Soup Soap? I am worried about her.
Hello and thanks for your nice comments Sonoma Bento :D
Yes, I am, too. I've emailed babykins and will let you know when I hear back...
this looks so elegant!
very pretty~, i love your picks. !
Hi Stephanie, so nice of you! have a wonderful weekend with plenty of culinary inspiration and fun :D
I hope our friends are okay!
Jenn your bentos always take me away somewhere else. Can I come and live with you? The colors are so vibrant, and the aleppo pepper looks so good. I love trying all kinds of spices. I made a few bentos this week, but they look so sloppy and thrown together I don't think I can post them. I was excited because my sister bought me a bento and some cute picks for Christmas...which I just got when she was down in Feb visiting Florida. I also bought a Hello Kitty one when my daughter and I were in Tampa and they had a Sanrio store there!
Thanks for brightening my day, and have a nice weekend! Prayers for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami victims.
Dear Lyndsey, I love reading your warm & thoughtful comments, they feel like true visits! It would be so fun if we could hang out and cook and bento irl :D
I'm excited to see your new bento stuffs--you know how obsessed I am with cool and cute picks! Did you guys enjoy exploring the Sanrio shop?
Thank you for sharing your prayers here...such massive loss and calamity, my heart just aches.
This bento really is a ray of sunshine for me after all the horrible news all day. Thanks!
P.S. I'm sure you've probably heard by now too, but Babykins emailed me back and she is well and safe.
ive got an award for you, i hope you can drop by my blog and pick it up & see the little message i wrote for you as well~~ (:
Hi there Megg, so glad you enjoyed this one and thank you so much for sharing this update about Babykins!
That is so sweet of you, Stephanie!--looking forward to picking up the award :D Lovely to be your foodie-blog friend! have a good weekend...
Thanks you Jenn for including your thoughts for our friends in Japan. It is hard to imagine ordinary life when such devastation is happening a world away. We had significant damage to our harbor when the waves hit Santa Cruz, CA and were lucky to have hours of tsunami warnings to prevent human injuries. Today the coastal warnings are lifted and the warm spring sunshine surrounds us. It is unreal.
Your lovely spirit shines in all you do. Take care.
Your photos are always so stunningly colourful. Love it :)!!
Dear Robin, thanks for sharing your thoughts and reflections...and for your friendship. Be well!
Hi there CG! Thank you, I hope you are enjoying a fun and colorful weekend!
Stunning in its sunshine-y cheerfulness. Your bento lifts us up when our hearts feel so low, giving us strength to help where we can, and provide support in prayer. Thank you.
Dear Sheri, thank you for your visit and kind words...hope we can all find ways to be of help and care as this awful event continues to unfold. Very best wishes to you and yours, my friend.
this looks beautiful *and* delicious. you have such a skillful hand with unusual spices and special ingredients. and that little kitty pick in the cupcake is sooooo cute! :-)
hi megan! thank you ^^ glad you liked the kitty pick :D!
