Hi bento pals! Today's lunch features a "Love Owl" pastry filled with a tasty combo of roasted butternut squash and Gruyere cheese. This romantic birdie rests on a bed of arugula with slices of exotic green (yes, green!) radish--a very cool variety a friend found at her farmer's market and was kind enough to share with me...
A few sweet golden tomatoes and a white balsamic vinaigrette dressing accents the salad. How is Valentine's Day inspiring your bento creations?

I have been inspired by hearts and the colors red, white and pink. I'll be using a lot of those in my next few bentos!
Hi there! Love those colors together--sweet and romantic indeed. Your blog is so cute!
Live the lil' owl pastry; it sounds perfectly delectable and complements the rest of your gorgeous bento!

This owl stands alone...and sounds mighty tasty too! Yummy. I love all the details in his beauty!
Hi Lynds! Big hug for your sweet comments! He was quite tasty even as I felt that peculiar discomfort of eating something with a cute face!
What can I say, the owl is a HOOT! It is a pity your art is ephemeral but I think your stomach must thank you :)
Wow! Green radish! How does it taste?
I love owls! My favorite bird (even if it is a bird of prey) ... I think they are so cute! Specially the fluffy ones :P
The pastry is a brilliant idea, I will definitely try the squash+gruyere combo.
Hi Carole! Thanks indeed..enjoyed your latest post and etegami art!
Hi Lily! The gree radish had a bracing, crisp and refreshing flavor--a bit peppery but somehow brighter and well more...green...than other varieties, yum!
Don't you love how bento makes the discovery of a new veggie or fruit variety cause for excitement?
I love owls too, inspired by the affection my hubby has for them...they have a unique quality of mystery, beauty and yes cuteness.
Have a great day!
I dearly adore your pastry sculptures. Inspiring to think about the love and care that goes into their creation.
Beautiful. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your love.
