Happy Friday, blog readers. Here are some of next week’s upcoming charity events where you get to eat a dozen restaurants for the price of 1 really nice meal.

We’ll return to restaurant review/musings soon. Life has been full. I’m about to dash off to a Harvard Culinary Society lunch at L’Espalier, followed by dinner at Ming Tsai’s Blue Ginger. No, this is not a typical Friday. Yes, this is totally excessive. Will Lingbo find time to write her philosophy paper? Will her bank account shrivel and her stomach explode? Only truffled parsnip puree and artfully prepared pork belly will tell. I don’t know what I’m writing anymore. I haven’t been sleeping.

A Spoonful of Ginger - Monday, April 5, 2010, 6-9pm at the Museum of Fine Arts. Top area chefs like Ming Tsai of Blue Ginger and Joanne Chang of Myers + Chang and Flour Bakery come together to support Joslin’s Asian American Diabetes Initiative. Also on tap: MEM Tea, China Pearl, Mantra, Upstairs on the Square. This is a cause that is dear to my heart (my grandpa has diabetes).

Chefs for the Cure - Friday, April 9, 2010, 6-10pm at the Viking Center (which as 20 kitchens!) in Westwood, MA. A VIP session includes a demo from Alyssa Bigelow of “In The Kitchen.” The usual spate of Boston yummy-peddlers like Joanne Chang (in case you missed her Monday), Nicole Coady of Finale, and Mary Dumonte of Harvest, among others, to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
