Today we’re saying goodbye to summer, as it’s Autumnal Equinox tomorrow. But it’s also the day I said farewell to my colleagues in the Netherlands Police Museum – which doesn’t actually exist any more either now that it has merged with two other cultural heritage institutions.
This moment in time called for a comfort food bento in fall colours!
Left tier
Simple coleslaw with avocado dressing and sweet beet salad.
Right tier
Couscous with chili, white paprika with caper and radish flowers, 2 garlic cashews and flat leaf parsley.
On the side (not shown)
Vegan banana-walnut muffin that my friend Janny baked with some plant based butter and raspberry jelly.
My colleagues gave me a gorgeous bouquet, a lovely self-made card with the sweetest wishes and a gift card for which I’m going to purchase something awesome. Summer may be waning but I feel warm inside!

Lovely bento (beets! Great reminder) and a beautiful bouquet. Leaving one place can be a little sad, but now you are all freed up for new endeavors :)

Looks great again. Even without the muffins :-)
Pity there is no police museum anymore. What’s the name of the new museum?
