Bakesale for Japan - Saturday, April 2, 2011


I hope you are heading out to one of the many locations hosting a Bakesale for Japan! Here are the locations throughout the USA.

I'm contributing two items:
Bake Sale for Japan 4/2/2011
Chocolate Cinnamon Bundt 

Bake Sale for Japan 4/2/2011
Furikake Chex Mix 
(post with recipe and instructions coming soon)

This is an Asian / Hawaiian version of Chex Mix. A buttery, sweet syrup covers any number of cereals, chips and popcorn and a bottle of Furikake tops the goodness. Furikake is a rice topping of seaweed, sesame seeds, salt and sugar. I'll post the recipe next week!

Being Japanese American and knowing people in Japan who are affected by the quake, I hope my little contribution raises some funds. I hope everyone gets to pick up some yummy food too! - mary the food librarian

**Updated to add: This was scheduled to be posted early this morning...but I messed up the time on the "schedule at" on Blogger. However, you still have time to hit up a place on the West Coast! Open from 10 am - 2 pm**
