Healthy Dinner for those on the Go

This is a really cool company idea: http://www.myprepcook.com. The company basically delivers all the food prepped and ready to go. It allows busy people to cook their own food when they get home and requires the person to have minimal equipment at home. The menus look actually decent. Price is a bit steep at $15/meal + $5 delivery but for those people who are too busy to prep their own food, this is an ideal solution.

Ride Around The Neighborhood



I bought a road bike and finally had a chance to ride it today because it was sunny outside. It's been a LONG time since I've actually ridden a bike so I was a bit wobbly at first but eventually remembered my bearings. My first trip out with the bike and it ended up 2.5 ride. I rode with Ming and we had a ton of fun. We rode around Los Altos and Palo Alto and even made a pitstop to pick up some veggies for dinner. I saw many, many beautiful homes in Palo Alto and Los Altos. There was even a point where I thought that we had to be in a neighborhood filled only with CEOs because the houses were so nice. Each house seemed to be a villa/castle. It was insane. I hope to one day live in one half that nice. =)

Back from the Dead: Drink Club


I received an e-mail from Drink Club today. O.o I thought that Drink Club was totally dead! I haven't been to a Drink Club event for a long time. I guess the promoters got their act together and started throwing parties again.

Taiwanese Food Explained

I can describe Cantonese food. I can describe "northener" food (Sichuan, Hunan, etc). I cannot describe Taiwanese food. I don't know what the exact differences are other than to say "everything I ate in Taiwan was yummy." Aside from eating delicious banquet style food while in Taiwan, I can't say what Taiwanese food is compared to Cantonese or any other type of Chinese cuisine.

Luckily I don't have to describe Taiwanese food because this site does it for me: http://www.eatingchina.com/articles/art-taiwanfood.html

Lemon Squares

I made lemon squares last night because my co-worker brought lemons to work. I brought a bunch of lemon squares into the office today and it was a total hit. I brought in about 3/4 of a pan and it vanished in about 45 minutes -- and it isn't even 10:30am yet. My co-workers loved it and couldn't stop thanking me for bringing in the goodies. It brings a smile to my face to make people that happy and appreciative. ^_^ I made them because it was therapeutic but it's a double gratification when I see how others appreciate them so much.

Paper is heavier than you think



I never would have imagined that invitations can weigh so much. The wedding invitations are being shipped and they weigh 20 lbs! How does paper weigh that much? Dear god.. what am I getting myself into with the postage. O.o
