This is the second year of the “Edible Book Contest” at my workplace (I work in a library). And the entries are even better than last year! Here’s my favorite so far (they’re still trickling in). It’s James and the Giant Peach, submitted by Rebecca B. How cute is that??

The rules are, everything in the entry has to be edible, and it has to depict a book.

I had ramen for lunch today, and my tummy was quite happy! There’s a small Japanese restaurant in Rosemead, CA called Shin-sen-gumi Hakata Ramen, that just makes you feel like you’re visiting Japan. As you walk in, you’re greeted with “itashimasu” (welcome in Japanese) and then seated.

Today I got the Special Pork Flavored Noodle with a side of rice with grounded chicken bowl. Good stuff! My husband got ramen with a side order of gyozas. Noodle refill is only 95 cents. And the service is very fast and excellent.

Restaurant: Shin-sen-gumi Hakata Ramen (various Locations)

Baguette Bakery & Cafe

Baguette

This is my favorite thing to have for lunch — a full rosemary chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread from Baguette Bakery & Cafe. It’s a cute local restaurant, not too far from my workplace. And the food always is delicious. The bread is nice and freshly baked, and the soups are magnificent.

The desserts are all so appetizing too. I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookies and creme brulee. I haven’t had the chance to try every dessert yet, but I that will be my goal. :)
