In case you don't follow the sister site, Just Hungry, last week we got home from attending my father's memorial service in New York to find out we had been burgled in our absence. Among other things, they took most of our 'temporary' kitchen equipment (we are still in the middle of renovations...) including the working hotplate, the microwave oven (which was also a convection oven...so handy), not to mention my food processor, KitchenAid mixer, even my stick blender.

This is just a note for people who are reading this site via email. First of all, thank you for subscribing! Second, I have noticed that quite a few of you are replying to the email for the giveaways. That will not enter you into the giveaways! Please click on the title of the article/giveaway post that you want to enter, which will lead you to the site, where you can leave a comment. Thank you!

Kids of all ages, not to mention quite a few adults, are either gearing up for going back to school (or kindergarten/college/university/daycare) or are already there. So what better time than to have a big Back To School Week? We're going to have at least one giveaway every day this week of great bento boxes and related items, as well as coupons, useful tips and more, so stay tuned! ^_^
