Today I went on a hike in the Betuwe with Mr Gnoe. We were supposed to walk for 17.5 km but somehow it turned into 19 (11.8 miles). I’ve got tired little paws now!
Betuwe is known for its fruit production, so we had hoped to see many blossoming trees… Alas, the bad weather of the last few weeks had discarded most of the flowers. Still, we got a bit of sun today and no rain, so we were happy to be outdoors anyway!
Bento #103 came along on our trip, together with a big thermos of tea. Lunch for two in my new Bento Color Box!
Top tier
- potato salad with peas, gherkin and pickled onions on a bed of radicchio and topped with fresh thyme and wasabi sesame seeds
- ramsons leaf as baran
- small packet of scallion crackers from elma’s surprise packet
Middle tier
- spicy stir-fried veggies (red paprika and zucchini & a little leek) with soy sauce and wasabi sesami topping on radicchio
- ramsons flowers
- radishes
Lower tier
- poppy seed scones
- buttermilk curd & raspberry jelly
- rosemary & garlic cashews
Round container on the side
- apple slices in lemon juice
Square container on the side
- raw vegetables: cucumber, carrot, celery stalk, ramsons lower stems
- yoghurt-garlic dip for veggies
- lemon olives
I guess I don’t need to tell you we had a feast ;)
Organic & local: thyme, ramsons, radishes

Such a celebratory and thoughtful bento–you’ve carefully stacked such complimentary goodies into this chic box. I love bentos made to enhance time spent oudoors!

I can’t imagine the care and planning required to put together your amazing bento boxes. I wish I could stand by for a lesson, but it’s still nice to enjoy the end result.
I’m glad to see you’re excited for the JLC4, as am I. We’ll have a great time reading together!

Yes, we’ll have fun together with the JLC4! And it would be lovely to have a bento gathering of virtual friends :)
