Hello friends! I'm gearing up for a very busy week this Sunday evening...Monday's bento features a melange of farmer's market and elements of a yummy meal yesterday at our favorite Szechuan restaurant, China Star.
Leftover rice from dinner is stir-fried with market okra and bright peppers, and in the little bowl is a portion of garlicky "Crystal Shrimp." Baby golden tomatoes and tender-sweet figs round out lunch. Have a great week!

I am hoping for a big fig crop this year, did they go well with the rice?
I adore this basket bento. I want to find some figs too; they look wonderful! And is that a hibiscus? In Virginia? Fantastic :)
so nice and lovely
I am glad to see you enjoying the pretty little yellow tomatoes and other market treasures in today's bento! What a fabulous late summer treasure. Hope you have a great week!
Very bright and striking colors in your bento! Just make me happy to see it :)
Hi there origa-me! We'll see after lunch today :) Wow, lucky you to have your own fig crop! Will you make preserves?
Thanks sweet Yenny! Have a GREAT day!
Hi Sheri! Gamene featured this lovely and fresh bamboo bento and inspired me to get my own (via Rakuten). I find it brings a cheerful natural feel to lunch...
The pink flower is native Virginian member of the hibiscus family, known as marsh hibiscus--cool, huh? http://www.chesapeakebay.net/bfg_marsh_hibiscus.aspx?menuitem=14453
Have a super week, looking forward to your new bento creations!

Hi Carole!
Here's the fig report--went VERY well with fried rice.
Sorry but Blogger won't let me comment on your site, wanted to mention that I loved your beautiful portrait of a beloved Finney. Your poetic paintings are full of life and sweetness...
Beeauutiful! The pictures brightened up my day! Those little fellows also look so happy!
It feels like I haven't talked to you in awhile. How have you been? Hope your week is going great! :)
Hi Izumi dear! Glad you liked this one :D I love these happy "little fellows" baran, they look so merry and sweet together!
It's been a very busy summer with work and also work on our house for a possible move, so I have not been bentoing as much as I'd like! Fall weather is just starting to appear with cool mornings and even a few leaves starting to change color.
So nice to visit with you as always...hope its been a very happy summer for you and family!
So pretty! All the animals look like they are waiting to dive in to that yummy fried rice! :) Have a great weekend Jenn! :)
You are so sweet Susan! This cheerful baran reminds me of your light hearted bentos...wishing you a great weekend, too!
