Garden Bento

Garden Bento for MisterMan, originally uploaded by sherimiya ♥.

My first-grader gets rice vermicelli with barbequed pork (Bún thịt nướng) from our local Vietnamese restaurant, with 2 shrimp. The "garden" part is from the purple carrot "pansy" and the radish "mushroom", as well as the tomato and the purple potato slices all served atop a bed of lettuce. The fruit bowl consists of honeydew nectarine, strawberries, pluots, grapes, blackberries and lychee.

I thought of making a garden bento because he and his sister had so much fun playing together in our garden yesterday after school, catching frogs, picking up leaves, and climbing in the lounge chairs... it was almost like summer is still here...
