  1. Hey Lisa,
    I'm Betsey and I live in SC. I've been following your blogs since before you went to China. Maisie is so cute!
    I was hoping you would share a few of the recipes for some of the things you put in Maisie's bentos. In particular the Noodles with Chinese 5-spice chicken, sauteed spinach and yogurt cilantro cream sauce and some of the dumpling recipes. These always look so good. You can email me if you'd rather do that. Thanks and keep up the good work.

My children are 11 and 13, we stumbled across your blog the other day and have started packing bentos for lunch!!! Thank you for your blog with all these wonderful pictures! Maisie is adorable!!!!
