Shoyu Chicken and Jack Bento

Shoyu chicken bento today, with sliced lotus root (renkon) simmered in the same sauce. Also, roasted baby Brussels sprouts and purple potato slices. I filled in with an orange and a yellow pear tomato for color. Other section has a purple carrot skewer, white nectarine, strawberry, black grapes (underneath) and a carved jack o'lantangerine. Today's the first day I've thought about roasting stuff in a long time -- guess that means fall is just about here. I hope we cool off gradually though; today was a perfectly comfortable 76F. ^_^

    Susan, I don't know why there were all so small that day. Usually they're huge! The little ones cook quick and are much cuter :) Thanks!

    Thanks Debra and Kristin! Jacky jack time !

    It's fun to see Sonoma Bento's Jack O'tomater today and now your Jack O'lantangerine - what fun names :D. My coworker asked me to make him Halloween-themed bento this morning, and your Jack O'lantangerine is a good idea I think :D
