First Bento

Okay, I promise not to post about my boring bentos every day (but I'll probably post them on my Flickr page), but this was my first effort, so here it is.  Today's bento included (clockwise from top left) an amaranth microgreen salad (I don't know where one might buy amaranth microgreens, Chef received these as a sample and gifted them to me.  When I asked why we weren't going to get them in for garnishes - being as pretty as they are - he told me they cost around $10 an ounce.  Yikes!) along with an extra virgin olive oil filled fish and an aged balsamic filled pig, spicy sesame noodles, dried fruits and nuts, lemon quadratini cookies from Trader Joes, and carrots.  Yum!
