Eating for a Cause

So, you're all probably tired of hearing that i'm getting married in less than 2 months but... i'm getting married in less than 2 months and I should be eating well, exercising, all that good stuff but how can you resist when it's for a good cause!?

Last night, my sister-in-law + one of my bridesmaids and I went to a fundraiser called Bake for the Quake where different bakers come together to sell their specialties and hungry people like me looking for any excuse to eat come to buy them to help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

As if you weren't drooling enough from my last post, here are some more pictures!




Yes, a bacon cookie (with ginger)! I'm a pretty big fan of bacon and it seems to be popping up everywhere nowadays - bacon mints, bacon cupcakes, bacon ice cream sundae.

What is the oddest dessert you've had?

Turning Japanese...

"... I think i'm turning Japanese, I really think so!"

I've always loved cute Japanese things... especially having spent most of my childhood in Hong Kong but it wasn't until I got older that I really got to appreciate more of Japan's food, culture, and people. (Now you know where my brand's inspiration comes from!!!)

Don't laugh... but last Sunday, I actually bought an English-Japanese dictionary and I couldn't wait until I got home to use it so I sat in the car with my fiancee in the shopping mall parking lot and just recited random words. :P



What I find so awesome is that a lot of Japanese words sound like the English word... except with a Japanese spin on it :P Here are some of my favorites:




Ejannz also pointed out today that my full name sounds like "Camera" if you say it with a Japanese accent. Rove it!

What language would you love to learn?
