肉羹

魚漿買了,肉切了,打電話問妹妹,那天在她家吃的肉羹怎麼做
她說先把肉槌一槌
What?你不早說,我切菜板都洗好了
她說,那你把肉放塑膠袋裡,蓋上抹布槌
哇塞!太聰明了!

Happy Birthday, Eun Hwa.


開了1507 miles的車
回來第二天就兩個人都感冒了
不是說What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas嗎?
After driving 1507 miles back home from the trip, we both got a cold. Don't they say: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?"

Spaghetti Carbonara, Caprese Salad, and Strawberry Cake

The small persimmons are from our back yard, the pomegranate is from a friend's yard.
They are both sweet, juicy, and delicious.

Carrot cake

Carrot cake is very popular in the US, but I disliked it ever since Mick bought one ten years ago... it was Deadly sweet without any carrot taste. Anyhow, this is my first try. I modified the ingredients for the carrot cake. It turned out good and easy to make.

蛋黃酥 Egg yolk pastry


我喜歡吃有顆粒的紅豆餡
紅豆加水用快鍋煮一個小時(聲音響後轉小火)
(我都撈出2/3的紅豆做餡,1/3紅豆留在湯裡慢慢喝,快鍋壓出來的紅豆,粒粒飽滿不破裂而且入口即化~我妹的婆婆教我的 ^ _ ^ 還可以加紫米,變成紅豆紫米湯)

波羅麵包 Pineapple bread

Taiwanese snack--- Pineapple bread

As a Taiwanese, this bread brings back good old memories. This is one of the snacks that I love. You didn't see it wrong, it's a snack for us. Most Taiwanese don't eat bread as part of a meal. Pineapple--- because of its looks, there is no pineapple at all.

雖然是從冷凍庫裡拿出來的...進烤箱烤一下,還是很好吃 ^ _ ^
After a couple minutes in the oven, it is still delicious even though it came out from the freezer.
如果你看得懂中文,請看這
If you read Mandarin, here is the recipe I used with a detailed video.
