Outsourcing Our Kitchen 廚房外包

Beef Noodle Soup! (牛肉麵!)

"So, what do you cook?"

This is a question Ping gets asked all the time when the locals learn that we've moved to Beitou from the United States. As we've mentioned before, Taiwan is all about food, so people are very curious to find out what we like to eat--and, particularly, what kind of food we cook for ourselves.

Always Coming Home 回家

Imagine being awakened by a 6.6 earthquake and having to play Super Mario Cart between [stationary] Fiat-sized boulders on the road and negotiate detours around washed out bridges. Imagine standing on a windy hill at the edge of a massive thunderstorm with thunder rolling loudly all around. Imagine sampling "horse milk wine" in a yurt, and eating more mutton in two weeks than you'd eaten in the previous 20 years combined. Imagine that all of this happens in the space of a couple of weeks...

...because it did.
