Aid for Japan quake victims
The news out of Japan just keeps getting worse. Japan faces a historic crisis in this morning's headlines. And there's a good chance it's going to get worse before it gets better.
So why am I writing about this on a food blog?
If we know anything about the close-knit online food world it's this: We care, and we want to help. If you know of any fundraisers, bake sales or anything else that might be occurring within the food community to help the people of Japan, please let us know about it so we can share the information. It doesn't matter how big, or how small, this effort is. People are looking for a way to help.

Hi Rene,
Here's my offer to help Japan. It's not a bake sale, however if we can more people or donating, then it's all worth it.
When you do, I am giving you “The Sinfully Delicious Pie Book” written by The Pie Princess & Friends. You’ll receive thirty-three pie recipes, which contain a whole section of Sedona Pie recipes. For more information: http://sedonapies.com/2011/03/donate-to-japans-relief-efforts/
Thank you,
Mari-Lyn
