A couple of days ago, I trooped off to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf expecting brunch. Instead, I get a stand-up comic talking at warp speed while guzzling copious amounts of coffee. Oh wait. That’s Bobby Chinn. *facepalm* Minutes before the program started, the half-Chinese, half-Egyptian, mostly American chef, restaurateur and talk show host was quietly tapping away on his Macbook Air in a quiet corner. So, it was quite a surprise when he was called to the makeshift stage and he quickly switched to a very animated, witty, hyperactive, potty-mouthed coffeeholic.

Finally, we have a winner!

Taking home the bento set we’re giving away is karissa, who plans to use the set for her work lunches. I guess nothing beats home cooking in the middle of the working day, especially when it’s something home cooked by her mom. Congratulations karissa! Expect your bento set this week or next.

To everyone else who joined, thank you so much! It was pretty interesting going through the entries. Quite a few are interested in preparing lunches for their significant others, OR people they’re wooing to be their significant others *waves to Mike*. Others were moms who wanted to brighten up their school kiddies lunches. Stephanie wanted to do an inspired lunch that tied up the four seasons. Jesa wanted to pack chupacabra meat (!) while magnetic-rose wanted to stick Rafa Nadal in a box. (How she’ll manage THAT, I want to see.)

And to those who sent their congratulations for the site’s anniversary, my thanks as well. Crossing my fingers that there will be more anniversaries to come! I’d say more giveaways too, but I don’t have to cross my fingers for that because I KNOW for a fact that there are a couple in the pipeline. So, please come back for more. Who knows what you’ll stumble upon.

Maybe tomorrow. *big grin*
