Sea Bound to South Caribbean

I will be sea bound to South Caribbean for 9 days starting tomorrow night.

Blue sky, aquamarine sea, powdery white sands, warmth, and sun–things that make me eternally happy.

“Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.”

Island coconut cookies, cakes, sweet ripe bananas, hot off the grill Johnny cakes, local banana ketchup, conch, seafood, and Rum.

Counting down…

Chinese Jiaozi Recipe (Pork and Chive Dumplings/韭菜饺子)

There is an age old saying that Chinese people live to eat, or in Chinese “民以食为天.” I am Chinese and I can strongly attest to the claim–Chinese people live for the sole purpose of eating and stuffing ourselves silly with food, food, and more food.

Moules à la Marinière Recipe

Bonjour.

Not that I can’t get mussels in California, but eating these mussels right here in a Mediterranean coastal town just adds to the authenticity and–most importantly–the flavors.
While I am here, feed me more pots or…

Can, Can’t, CANNES

Be it “can” (pronounced the American way), or “can’t” (pronounced the British/French way), I am heading to Cannes in south of France tomorrow. I know, I am really a lucky one.
Other than Cannes, I will also check out Nice, St. Tropez, and Monaco (Monte Carlo). I am getting myself a nice little rental car to explore around. Nice, very nice!
I…
