I have very fond memories of my grandfathers cooking. He always was the good cook in the family and had many dishes that are hard to find out in restaurants.  Not many would know that many different regions of China had vastly different foods. Where my family originated from in China is the Chiu Chao region of China and there they had one ( Read more... )

I was finally able to get to the market yesterday. It has been a while and I was almost all out of food. All I had left was half a cabbage, half a napa, one slice of turkey and some cheese. For some odd reason the refrigerator was still over flowing with stuff. I like my roommates, I really do. I just get a bit annoyed when they put stuff in the ( Read more... )

Spring Break was way too short. In fact I think i am still suffering from post Finals trauma. This quarter is not looking any happier. In fact, I know Chemistry 153A is going to be the bane of my existence. It does it's reputation of being a GPA-suicide class justice.

Aside from that depressing thought, I have more food to share. Yay! I know I said ( Read more... )

I finally managed to have time to make food again. This time with the help of my roommate's handy little camera, I have a picture to put up. I haven't yet had them time to head down to the market to pick up stuff for the planed celebratory menu. Until then drool over this.

Once upon a time in times long forgotten I started a Facebook account. You know that thing that is like the lesser evil compared to Myspace. Although it was alright during that "join the crowd" phase, now a days it seem a bit weird. Not weird in that "i feel too old to be doing this kinda thing" way because I am not old (that may the the beginning ( Read more... )

I love to cook and most of my buddies know that. I don't know when I started picking the tradition up, but I've gotten into the practice of cooking and baking as a way to self celebrate academic accomplishments. It may have started a while back when I was in a total academic slump where nothing seems be be going right for me and I tried to cheer up ( Read more... )

Its been a somewhat amusing night. Me and the regular posse went down to Hollywood to go clubbing. If you haven't noticed, I am typing thing while drunk off my ass. I think it took me at least 5 minuets to type these couple of sentences. Over all it was okay. Besides the fact that the club was a total Asian fest the dancing was not too bad. Ran ( Read more... )

Its times like these when I am agonizing over an assignment that I want to kick myself for choosing to take the class in the first place. Now I sit here at 3 am having been think to myself all night, "What the hell was I thinking when I decided History of the Opera seemed like an interesting class to take!?" It was a short assignment but not any ( Read more... )

You know how when you are sick and sitting in the middle of lecture surround by a hundred or so students and suddenly have the most desperate need to blow your nose. Of course the most reasonable thing to do is to whip out some tissue out of your backpack to relieve your nose of its icky contents. Then burying your nose into the tissue you blow ( Read more... )

Discovered a different flavor of Pocky today. Mousse green tea flavor Pocky. It creamy, lightly sweet and has a nice green tea aroma to it. Definitely, this is my new all time favorite Pocky flavor. If I buy this stuff in bulk I would. To bad its a bit pricey at 12 sticks for 2 dollars. Also, the throat infection that has been killing me seem to be ( Read more... )
