One caution on the Thai noodles that you mention in the post - the noodles are fine but most brands with packaged sauces and noodles seem to be non-vegetarian with fish sauce or other animal ingredients.

You can get it in natural food stores and Asian markets (it's usually cheaper in the Asian markets), and you can even buy it through <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=fatfreevegank-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=%2FAgar-Powder-4-oz%2Fdp%2FB00015UC48%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fqid%3D1157067951%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dgourmet-food" REL="nofollow">this link</A> at Amazon.com. It seems expensive, but you use such a tiny amount that it turns out to be much cheaper than buying vegan fruit gel mixes or those Dole cups.SusanVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16706612777547235769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20737663.post-1157067120422901032006-08-31T18:32:00.000-05:002006-08-31T18:32:00.000-05:00That is the cuteset idea! I never liked fruit cups as a kid because it always tasted so artificial. When you eat a fruit cup, you want it to taste like fruit, not some thick syrupy junk. But these are great because without all the unnecessary added sugers, preservatives and other ingredients it will actually taste like fruit. One question, tho- what is agar agar powder? Thanks!<BR/><BR/>-Teresamaybepigscanflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17753640845806353841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20737663.post-1157042594509256242006-08-31T11:43:00.000-05:002006-08-31T11:43:00.000-05:00I am definitely going to make these for lunches... I really want my kids to have better lunches this year.. last year was all about PBand J.. and cheese sandwiches. Both of them want more variety and good food, so this will be a great option...Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16957104951513167524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20737663.post-1157038068094350262006-08-31T10:27:00.000-05:002006-08-31T10:27:00.000-05:00Excellent idea!
