Sweet Revenge (2 of 9)
Which brings us to Kathy Masunaga, office worker-turned-baker. Kathy grew up in the local Japanese bakery Fujiya, the one that even today turns out those awesomely creamy-crunchy green peanut butter mochi you see at the supermarket. From the day after Christmas to New Year's Eve, her family lived at the Kalihi sweet shop, filling orders for New Year's mochi virtually round the clock. Kathy's memories of childhood New Years are vague, mostly to do with being woken up and handed a sparkler at midnight, after which the exhausted family promptly fell back asleep.
Understandably, that's not the kind of baking Kathy fell in love with as an adult. A year ago she turned her passion into a business, turning out savory and sweet pies for the Thursday evening farmers' market at St. Clement's Church in Makiki, and desserts for the cast and crew of Hawaii Five-O. Here she is with her son Jarrett. (Her other son, Riley, designed his mom's Sweet Revenge logo.)

Even some inorganic compounds are sweet, including beryllium chloride and Lead(II) acetate. The latter may have contributed to lead poisoning among the ancient Roman aristocracy: the Roman delicacy sapa was prepared by boiling soured wine (containing acetic acid) in lead pots.
