xli) Recyclables

I need to start buying more industrial-sized tins of gherkins. Then maybe I can make my own kickass lampshades.

#280: All Dressed Up.

Check that out, it looks so plump, so juicy, it's positively glowing.

Yet even before the plate was put down on our table, the group next to us had already started to wrinkle their noses.

It tasted as good as it looked, it went down as smooth as it feels.

And it was all enhanced by that very distinctive smell. Gorgeous stuff.

This would be the durian-custard wrapped pancake dessert. Seriously yumsome.

#54: Single-Handedly Keeping Me Alive For Over 4yrs.

In both Japan and Taiwan, everybody I work with always comments on the fact that I only seem to eat the 7-11 riceballs for lunch everyday. It's not healthy they say, I need to eat something more balanced, more fresh - like congee, wonton noodles, lunchbox places, fried tofu stalls, soup stands etc.

In the end though, while I do goto those other places, it comes down to a matter of time and convenience. These riceball/triangle things I love so much, they have rice, they have some veggy, they have fish, they have meat and they can be bought and eaten in under 5minutes, which is all the time I have free when I'm working.

Out of work, I'll eat everything, lordy knows I'll eat it all! But these riceballs? They're a damn sight healthier and more filling than any kinda snacky foods I ever had when I was in England. (^^)

Goodies! III

I got another cake today, a pandan one this time (^_^)

Just showing off how wonderful and amazing my students think I am...

Goodies!

Remember how I got one of the prettiest homemade cakes ever from one of my students last year?

I got another one this year. (^_^)


Oh yea... and also, one of my students gave me a brand new folding bike a coupla weeks ago as well... just coz he had it spare and it was cluttering up his house...
(^___^)

A coupla weeks before that another student let me drive his brand new 2 week old Honda CR-V... coz he knew how much I'd missed driving.
