Sushi Bento and P-Patch Flowers

Sushi Bento by sherimiya ♥

Got home late from a family field trip to San Francisco, and forgot that TinySprite has school tomorrow, so I'm giving her two (store-bought) sushi pieces. Along with those are the usual rainbow of sides: steamed broccoli, sweet potato, Okinawan sweet potato, strawberry, and chopped cara cara oranges. I think I'll pack some tofu bread in her tote too, since she's so curious about tasting it. I'll leave you with a few photos of the pea-patch we visited today. It's right on the bay and it has loads of paths and lovely blossoms. We always have lots of fun seeing what's in bloom. Short post today; have a great weekend everyone!

  4. Hi Nami! This is the Fort Mason Community P-Patch near the Marina. It's right next to the park so the kids can run around too. If you get a chance, it's a lovely spot. We also walked down to the waterfront to watch the Blue Angels when they put on the airshow. This sushi is from Nijiya; a last-minute pickup. Thanks!

    ღᏓуռ էяɨռɨאღ : Thank you! That first flower is he California poppy, our state flower. It grows like a weed along roadsides everywhere, in stunning abundance. The strawberries are fantastic this year-- so happy! Hope you get some good ones too. And the HK paper is from an origami kit. Cute, right?

    Thanks Chantale! I'm a huge fan of kimbap, so refreshing in the summertime. I'd love to see yours! My girl goes to preschool year-round, so there's not an actual "break" for her except when we go on vacation :D

  6. Hi Sheri! Tks so much for sharing all the infos! :D
    Growing everywhere along roadsides?? Must be very beautiful everywhere you go! :D
    Really? California strawberries? Actually I don't really know how to choose nice and sweet ones. I always choose those that are bright red in color thinking that it must be very sweet but some are so sour! Btw, those I bought are mostly from Korean but I don't always look at where they're from when I buy, I only look for theirnice red color.. hee... :P

  7. Thanks a lot Kittee!

    ღᏓуռ էяɨռɨאღ , it's actually a wildflower and should grow easily with little care. Nice, right?
    As for strawberries, the best come straight from the farmer at the open market. If you buy them out of season (too early in the spring) they will be sour. But now, the season is good so I hope you can find some sweet ones to enjoy :D
