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!

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?"

Creamed Chipped Beef 白醬的做法

I can never find chipped beef in the Bay area.

I brought it back from Maryland.

Taiwanese Cheese Cake

This cheese cake is a little complicated to make.

but it taste good.

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.
