Turkey Bento
Well, Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and I just realized I never made a single Thanksgiving bento. Hmm. I'll bet there'll be lots of turkey bentos AFTER Thanksgiving, though! So here's a "turkey" bento to celebrate the upcoming holiday and get us in the mood. Spinach ricotta ravioli decorated as turkeys with purple, yellow, pink and orange carrots. There are grapes, mandarins and watermelon radish shapes as well. The tiny yellow pear tomatoes are stragglers from my home garden. Can't believe they're still producing fruit, but I actually even have flowers still blooming on my slowly withering bush. Gobble gobble, and Happy Thanksgiving bento friends!

colourful gobble gobble bento you have here..:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
I really like the clever use of the ravioli to make the turkey face. At first I thought it was mashed potato, which could also be a possible way to do this bento (especially with the orange colored yam or sweet potato). But the little "pumpkins" are awesome, too! =D
