Apple crisp. Or is it Apple pie. Who cares? It's delicious!

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:05:42 -0700

Really, what is the difference between an apple pie and an apple crisp? Is it really just that an apple pie has a crust and an apple crisp has a crumble? Curious.In ANY case– I finally got around to making apple pie late last month (okay, it wa...

Pineapple Bread - FAIL... and finally, SUCCESS!

Known also as 菠蘿包 (pronounced: bwoh lwoh bao) in Taiwan and other Asian countries, this bread actually does not contain any pineapple. Instead, it derives its name from the criss-cross design on its cookie dough exterior that causes it to look so...

My friend Derk is an amazing photographer, and whenever I go out with him, I am almost ashamed to take pictures of the food we eat. I mean, I still do, but I usually pounce on him soon after and steal those pictures for my own benefit. For instan...

In which I eat out (multiple times) and celebrate several birthdays

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:46:17 -0700

I eat out an extraordinarily large percentage of the time for someone who no longer has an income. Before you start grinding down on me and declaring me an undisciplined yuppie or idiotic student who just likes to spend money as if it were water, ...

In brief, Disneyworld...

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:43:21 -0700

Ah, Disney. It's already been three weeks since then, and I still haven't posted! My sincerest apologies-- but here I go! To tell the truth, there aren't that many pictures of food from Disneyworld. As most tourists are wont to do, we ended up s...

The past few weeks, my computer (poor baby) caught a virus (actually, a trojan) and was put out of commission for a good deal of time. Luckily, with the help of some awesome people in the forums of Geeks to Go!, I was able to slowly nurse my compu...

[Note: Disney pictures will be up soon-- I just have to sort through all 500+ of them first...] Because the maternal head of household was busy carting the youngest brother to volunteer work last night, dinner was prepared by yours truly. I dec...

Arriving in Disney

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:17:24 -0700

Disneyworld! The ideal playground for the young at heart where, this year, a million dreams will come true. At least, that's what they tell me. We arrived mid-afternoon on July 2 and decided to wander into Downtown Disney to shop and eat. There w...

On the way to Florida, we stop in Savannah, Georgia... and eat.

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:41:42 -0700

My family is taking a rare vacation together this year. We rarely go on trips together-- in fact, we never really take "real" vacations. They're all just mini day trips into the city or somewhere relatively local. The furthest we've traveled was ...
