I was going to buy hot cocoa from Coco… then I thought: Why?
I can make it better at home! I had all the ingredients at home. Nice! Make you one and deliver to your home? LOL! I might be making it again.
What brand of milk did you buy to make yogurt?
What brand did you buy? I only tried one or two different brands. The reason I stick with the one milk I was successful is it seems work every time. I can become confident and tweak the process: when there are too many variables, it can be hard to know where one is failing. I…
84.8kgs and slow runs
Tonight’s run: Tonight’s run:2.5km run/walk in 31minsbike 2.5km in 10.5mins I felt a little disappointed but there we have it. Today’s weight was also a little disappointing: 84.8kgs *using the breakfast discount*. Don’t worry! Just trust in the process. I was off the diet on Saturday & Sunday… it’s nice to eat and not to…
Making Yogurt
I only tried one or two different brands of milk. The reason I stick with the one milk I was successful is it seems work every time. I can become confident and tweak the process: when there are too many variables, it can be hard to know where one is failing. I started with Easiyo…

Stories from the elevator: The Tut Tut Lady
Taking the elevator with a neighbor recently, reminded me of how judgmental we can all be at times. I guess she didn’t mean to be but she assumed. Once I was carrying three pizza boxes and got the tut tut … so many calories comment! I don’t think I mentioned that we’d had students as…
Some of today’s Costco Haul
Finally, went back to Costco after 3 months. We also bought TP, a pizza style ciabatta made with Mozzarella, some beef strips, small beef pies, and milk. Somehow we spent nearly $2900! Not sure how. However, I discovered a quick way to avoid the food court: Take the Elevator to the parking lot! LOL!
Pondering vegetarian restaurants
We’re always pondering vegetarian restaurants to eat at in Taipei. But… if you don’t eat garlic or onions… what places left are for the Buddhist vegetarians??? Honestly… I don’t think these restaurants serve tasty food in general, … is that because Buddhism’s priorities lie ‘elsewhere’? Food is merely to sustain not to delight? In fact,…
Mackie’s Ice Cream
I tried their vanilla … it’s quite nice. I’m not sure how ‘real’ their ice cream is. Oh, I just checked. At least 81% by weight milk & cream. That doesn’t include milk solids, either. They do add a bit of guar gum, glycerine (probably for texture) and sodium alginate (which lead to a whole…
