It’s just perfect timing. I got this email from a very good friend Sheila right when I was preparing tax return, evaluating my year round spending and credit bills, and yes, I was shocked how much I spent on FOOD last year.
And Sheila introduced this powerful idea by Friendship Foundation. Have dinner with your friends and $10 will be donated to support a woman in a war torn country such as Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq and Rwanda to name a few. Just this simple. Eat and help. =)
So I attended the dinner at Trapeze, a trendy European restaurant in Burlingame tonight. Had fun hanging out with friends, enjoyed a buttersquash soup (with a bit of ginger IoI), a very very well presented salmon fish and my favorite dessert tiramisu, and every little bite I am helping a woman out there!! What a great excuse to indulge myself, right!! so check out there website or maybe next time you and your girlfriends can join their events too. http://www.friendshipfoundation.info

Have you met Charlyn (we called her salad)? She is a funny and groovy trouble maker, who can be serious and of course a smartie! haha…like any terrible twos, she sometimes (just sometimes) has a little bit of attitude problem, but who can stay mad at Salad? she looks sooooooo darn cute. So right after the Valentine’s day, Canna and Gary took a little break and brought Salad to Happy and Hollow Park & Zoo in San Jose. She has been there a few times, and it is a super fun park (for 2 years for sure). Most of these pictures are taken by Gary. Enjoy.

3191 is a project of 2 photographers, stephanie & mav. They live 3191 miles apart and they take a picture per morning to share with each other and the world. What a cute idea. I am really looking forward for its book form, which is published by Princeton Architectural Press and will be in the market this fall.
For 2008, the duo decide to do a year of evenings!! check out their site, especially those who love photography.
