Taiwan Trip Recap… Day 0 and 1 (Flight from SFO/Taipei)

I probably had one of the most miserable flights I’ve ever taken. And if anyone knew me back in high school, the flight I had to take with my family to Orlando on our way to DisneyWorld used to be the worst. That one had a screaming baby on it with an indifferent set of […]

Girl’s Weekend…

Work has been stressful lately… same with our Taiwan trip. I’ve been so exhausted that my dSLR is still sitting in my camera bag. I haven’t touched it since we were in Taiwan, which basically means that I haven’t uploaded/looked at pictures. My blogging is at a minimum and my mind constantly feels exhausted from […]

Crusty, bleary-eyed I click on my Pioneer Woman bookmark and eagerly see if somehow magically […]

It was perfectly buttery… and delicious. Oh yeah… and the obligatory amaebi and uni! 😀 I really […]

Sesame Oil Chicken w/ Somen

Growing up in a really Taiwanese family, we ate a lot of black sesame oil dishes. Mom would saute ginger in sesame oil to infuse it before cooking all sorts of goodies with it… such as chicken, pork, gizzards, liver… just kidding about the liver part. I do however love a good plate full of […]

Bounty of Food…

One of my favorite Farmer’s Markets to shop at is the one held on Saturdays at the Ferry Building. Mushrooms galore, freshly shucked oysters, fresh vegetables and random fruits. I love it all!

Oink Oink Oyster Farm…

We had a lovely summery spell last weekend and Sam had a bad case of cabin fever so we drove up to Hog Island Oyster Farm on Saturday. Maybe he was treating me to a nice day trip since I’ve been cooking all these dinners lately. 😉 We drove through SF and had the windows […]
