I've ordered a copy and can't wait for it to arrive here in the mountains of Tokyo.<BR/><BR/>Our little guy is just two and a half, but we love to make bento boxes and visit the local parks on the weekends. At this stage, he seems to react very positively to how the meal looks -- interesting looking goes in the mouth, others don't make it that far -- so we hope to somehow reproduce your wonderful creations.<BR/><BR/>We also will need to keep his attention on his own bentos when he starts going to school, so other less-healthy bentos don't lead him astray. His nursery school has been very cooperative about substituting soy for milk and not giving the meat and dairy products that the other kids are fed. At the same time, they don't understand why we have requested the substitution even though he shows no signs of illness, or in other words, no signs of getting sick from the food they serve. One of the reasons (his vegan diet) is obvious to us, but the school staff have been unable to make the connection as the same strong misleading myths about meat and dairy are imbedded here. At least the traditional Japanese diet is quite healthy and relatively available.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long comment. Your radio interview hit a chord even though we live in a different culture. Your outlook is so refreshing and uplifting, I hope to hear more interviews.Stevebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967385685117136416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1162473868806043352006-11-02T05:24:00.000-08:002006-11-02T05:24:00.000-08:00Congratulations!

What a fantastic achievement.<BR/><BR/>I have just ordered two copies (one for us - unborn child and husband's work lunches) and one for a family member who I think will take to the idea despite not being a vegan.<BR/><BR/>I figured that you wouldn't be able to sign Australian orders, so I didn't request your autograph.cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438841050844456591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1162270972025324062006-10-30T21:02:00.000-08:002006-10-30T21:02:00.000-08:00Congratulations Jennifer!

I would like to thank you for mentioning "grown-ups" on the cover, as I most certainly AM one! I'm a nurse and have no kids, but let me tell you, my own lunches (inspired by you) are quite the hit at work. All the nurses (and some of the docs) greet me with "whatcha got good today?" Two have even become vegan! Woo!

And all the lunchboxes like you post here in the website??<BR/><BR/>Ah, I meant to mention that! The book includes a full color photo insert with several of our best pictures. We couldn't afford to print a picture for *every* lunch -- the price would have gone through the roof! BUT I am working on a photo gallery for the website with pictures for every lunch from the blog and in the book, with an index for easy navigation. That way people can see the lunches without paying a fortune and a half for the book. My goal is to have that done by Christmastime.<BR/><BR/>>>Can you please tell me if the recipes in the book include calorie counts?<BR/><BR/>Sorry, no calorie counts.
