Activist/actress Mia Farrow was in town to give speeches… and of course, she made time in her busy schedule to see her furry grandson! I smuggled Basil Farrow into her hotel room (fortunately, he didn’t “maoo” in the elevator). As you can see, our lovely bear was relaxed and happy to see his wonderful grandma.

Dress: Banana Fish
Makeup: yellow and green shades from Cuberry

So far, Cute Yummy Time has been getting an awesome reaction. Popular bento blogger Bento Lunch gave my cookbook a 100% positive review. Shannon writes: “…the food is absolutely darling. Called “kawaii” and pronounced like Hawaii, the food is all presented as adorable animals. Even better, none of the animal shapings call for anything extremely complicated […] All of the recipes seem to be reasonable in terms of time & ingredients and many of them appear to be rather kid friendly but still healthy (lots of homemade breads & pastas, wheats instead of whites and plenty of veggies). Personally, I love how easy her tips are for making the food cuter. There were so many hints we’re going to try and add into our bentos since they aren’t time consuming.”

I loved seeing the animal ham/cheese crackers and quesadilla she made, inspired by my recipes. Best of all, the book gets her daughter’s stamp of approval! “Faith also loved the little story that runs through each page of the author and Basil the cat’s adventures in Kawaii-land.”

More info about Cute Yummy Time here. Hope to see you soon (I’ll try to bring adorable snacks!).

    Althought Basil loves to meet people, he is sensitive to environment changes… so he won't be travelling with me, wahh. But I hope to see you in DC (please tell your friends) — and I'm happy to talk kitties!
