They used to be called Chef Wang’s, and they were right around the corner from us, but the city decided to redevelop that block and all the businesses had to move. Lucy found a new location in Cupertino, and, since they were moving anyway, took that opportunity to change the name. We go there all the time, plus Lucy’s little boy shares Bill’s Lego hobby.

So when I started doing the WordPress blog thing, one of the first ones I did was a blog for Lucy’s restaurant called www.lucysmandarincuisine.com. When we were there last night, we learned that Lucy is hosting next month’s Chefs Who Care charity buffet. This is an event held at a different restaurant every month, and half the proceeds go to the charity’s Food and Nutrition Center. So Bill and I put together a blog post promoting the event, and I’ve been publishing it on places like Craigslist. Here’s what I’ve been posting:

This February, the popular monthly dine-out event and fundraiser for Chefs Who Care is being held at Lucy’s Cafe in Cupertino.

We just saw a great presentation by Bill Kendrick about a very interesting drawing program for little kids (3 & up, but fun for all ages) called TuxPaint. It’s completely free and Open Source, and there are versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as a lot of other platforms. And it’s been translated into a huge number of languages. Give it a try!

He’ll be giving a more in-depth presentation about the project and the Open Source development project tomorrow evening at PenLUG (Belmont, CA) and on the 19th at LUGOD (Davis, CA).
