Making Sushi with Paul

Spent a few enjoyable hours last Sunday making sushi with a new friend of mine. Paul took a 3 month Japanese-style cooking course in the US, so he was eminently qualified to teach a newbie like me how to prepare and make sushi rolls. It was fun and delicious. Thanks Paul!

In the photos: the master chef himself, some of the healthy and tasty ingredients we used (including cooked beef steak, which is unbelievably good on sushi rolls), my first failed attempt at a roll, and some later improvements.

A Good Combo

Try this on bread:
1. Ham
2. Cream cheese
3. Tomato
4. Dried seaweed
 
I thought it would be awful, but the seaweed adds a nice subtle flavour.

My First day in Taiwan (again)

I spent my first day back in Taiwan doing a whole lot of things that I'd really missed about the place since leaving in September 2006.
In the photos below:
My first local meal of boiled pork dumplings, a crowded MRT (subway) journey, an unusually empty night market, a typical Taiwanese temple, New Balance sneakers, and another shot from an MRT station.
Good times!
