Honeycrisps Are Here!

I use them for everything as well. I do have to say that the crop of Honeycrisps we got in Seattle two years ago was sub-par compared to their usual taste, so if you didn't love the ones you had, you should try them again!

Tomatoes Are Evil

I can't understand tomato hate. I love tomatoes in any form!

I would join a cantaloupe haters group though! Yuck!

Oyster recipe?

My grandma always makes a oyster and corn casserole for holidays. I love it! This recipe is similar to the one my grandma makes. She adds more crushed crackers on the top with a little butter and uses smoked oysters. Yum!

Ahi Tuna Prep

I made a seared sesame ahi a few weeks ago and served it with an avocado "dip". I mixed avocado with a little mayo, lime, and chili oil. I think ahi tastes best with asian flavors. I had a pretty thin piece and it seared VERY quickly so if you are going to prepare it that way, it take less time than you think it will... hope that helps!

Coke Light > Diet Coke. Where can I get some?

Love coke light!

I was madly in love with C2 until is was discontinued (C2 was a wonderful blend of Coke and Diet Coke). Coke Zero takes similar but not as good.

Eating in Taipei

I've had several friends that lived in Taiwan for extended periods of time. They all ate very well for little. When I've traveled there, food is my least expense. From what my friends who lived there said, eating out is cheaper than buying the food and preparing at home.

Eating in Taipei

Love the stalls at Shilin Night Market... I'm particularly fond of the steamed pork and veggie buns, the shaved ice with mango, strawberry and kiwi with the jelly bits on top, and the stinky tofu (you'll smell it!).
My absolute favorite Taiwanese food is the green onion pancakes at the Shilin MRT station. They come from the stand that is close to the 7-11. You'll know it is the right one because they put basil and egg on the pancake. I've stopped there nearly every time I passed that station, even though it cost more to leave the station. Make sure to get a green onion pancaked, they are all over the place!
I love to eat shabu shabu while in Taipei. Typically we went to a place near Academic Sinica (mainly because that is where we were staying).
Wax apples are delicious and should be in season later this spring.
Ohhh and the bubble tea!!! Home of the original bubble tea so it taste the best!
