Fajita Seasoning

Thanks for the tips. I did just find out about Penzey's, maybe I'll try their fajita blend...path of least resistance!

Mooncakes

Yum. Mooncakes are the best. I agree with @penn00, definitely go with the plain lotus seed one for your first try; and don't eat the salted egg yolk on your first try. As much as they add flavors and different nuts to the mooncake, the best is the plain lotus seed. Mmm...delish...looking forward to the harvest moon!

Have you tried Restaurant Eve in Alexandria? Their food is delicious. They have a tasting menu for a pre-fixed price or you can order entrees....

Grocery Ninja: What to Do With Condensed Milk

After my mom emptied the can into a glass jar, she would pour hot water in it and let me drink the hot sweetened concoction. She also put in on white bread and boy was it delish!!!

Trader Joe's Discontinues King Arthur Brand Flour

That happened with our rice milk, but we were 'suggested' to try and compare the difference between the two items. Basically, the packaging changed, but not the content! Hopefully, that is true for your flour, but they won't tell you that so frankly!

Large-Scale Enticing Food Smells

There is a Whole Foods that backs up into a paved trail that I run. During my early morning runs, there is alway some kind of bakery aroma wafting through - it could be pumpkin pie or chocolate chip cookies. It's the best part of the run.

Young's Double Chocolate Stout is great!

Do you eat your vegetables?

I love my veggies....corn, peas, taters, brussel sprouts, carrots, onions, asparagus, radishes, broccoli, snap peas, cabbage, everything, though I'm not a huge fan of celery!

I tend to eat them mostly at dinner, but I do bring baby carrots to work.

Diets Work: Way or No Way?

Diets don't work. It would have to be a life style change in order to change your eating habits. Me. I like the the motto, everything in moderation...yum!

SPAM SPAM SPAM and SPAM....?

Yum, I love Spam. I ate it when I grew up and still occasionally have a craving and satisfy it with fried Spam with eggs over rice. Or cut up fried Spam with rice and soy sauce. I only eat Spam raw when I am cutting it up to be fried. Makes me want some now.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Asian Dining Rules'

Although I am Chinese myself, I have no clue what to order at restaurants. (my parents always ordered food off the menu) When I went to Phildalephia and went to a Chinese restuarant for dinner, I called my mom and gave the phone to the waiter. The waiter took the order from my mom and then told me what she had ordered. The dinner ended up being so delicious. Thank goodness for moms!
