Just Bento

Hi everyone. I put up a post about my health situation over on my personal site. Please take a look if you're interested.

Maki had to go to the hospital in an emergency, yesterday, August 29. Everything went well, and she is recovering now, although she may well have to stay at the hospital for several days.

We keep the site up and running as good as possible, but it will take some time until new articles will come online.

In the meantime "Get well soon, Maki!"

I have already tweeted and er, Facebooked (is that a word?) about this, but I got a nudge from a certain quarter to put it right here too. So here it is, tooting my own horn ^_^: The Just Bento Cookbook was selected by Amazon.com as one of the top 10 books in the Cooking, Food and Wine category in 2011 (so far)! continue reading...
