Dessert First at Sushi Koto!
04.12.11
In this case, it’s best to order dessert first! Sushi Koto in Fountain Valley is offering a special dessert menu through May 6, with all proceeds going UNICEF to help aide the Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund.
The selection includes homemade Japanese custard puddings like hoji cha tea, matcha green tea, yuzu fruit, (kabocha) pumpkin, and (ninjin) carrot. Each dessert costs $3.75.
Also, every Friday from 6 to 9:30 p.m. there will be live performances by SouLandscape, a local piano and vocals duo. Sushi Koto offers traditional dishes to give Japanese families a sense of home, and gives new diners an opportunity to taste the wonders of Japanese cuisine.

Spell This!
04.11.11
Fancy yourself a gifted speller? Well, here’s your chance to test your spelling skills (publicly no less) and possibly raise $1,000 for your favorite charity.
My two eldest sons and I will be entering the $1,000 National Adult Spelling Bee Sunday at 2 p.m. in Long Beach in the hopes to come home with $1,000 for Jack and Milly, the two students in Kenya that I’m helping put through college in Nairobi.
I won Spelling Bees in elementary school, so why not? And you can compete against me too.
The entry fee costs $30, or $40 at the door. As long as you’re at least 16-years-old, you’re in. The winner will receive $500, and heir favorite nonprofit organization, school, or church will receive $500. For entry form, words to study, etc. check online at www.AdultSpellingBee.com.
At Bay Shore Church at 5100 E. Toledo in Long Beach. See you then!
