Frank-Made Chinese Honeycomb Tripe

I was not being asked by the cashier in Wal-Mart: "What is this?" (Anchang said he was asked by the cashier last time!) Maybe most Americans do not know what the honeycomb tripe is. That's right…it's cow's stomach. Americans may wonder why we Chinese people almost eat everything with four legs!!! They problably think it nasty to eat animal's organs like honeycomb tripe. Just wait until you guys come to China, you will find more Chinese food FAR beyond your imagination...Hahahahahah…!!!

This pot of honeycomb tripe took me more than three hours. Look delicious!? Actually, I put too much sugar in the sauce that it tasted a little too sweet, not as what I have expected. Next time, I will use Coke as substitution for sugar because its sweetness is just fine and the color looks deeper. Am I coming closer to a chef!?

By the way, I learned how to preserve garlic with vinegar. Oh! You will never imagine how it tastes with dumplings. It's a chef's combination from God's inspiration. But the disadvantage is that you will have an awfully bad breath after eating garlic. Well, what the heck! Why should I care? It's not like I am having a date every evening or something! Those who will complain about my bad breath may be Sharon, Yoshiki, Anchang, and Nathan cause I hang out with them the most.

What!? So I eat too much garlic…SUE me!!! ^_^

美食音樂季

親愛なる君へ :

那天晚上John的確是露了一手!
看到沒!?自製大蒜麵包加上熬煮一下午的台灣牛雜,搭配美式沁涼酷爾思啤酒!...別懷疑,這是男人做出來的!

大蒜香、麵包外脆內軟 ; 相當入味的牛肚、多汁的香菇、還有暌違已久的滷蛋!和青蔥大蒜末一起夾起來!呴呴呴...這一盤在美國要賣一百元美金都要搶破頭!喔!當然,不可忘了啤酒!酒瓶標籤上的山,要夠冰才會變成藍色。也就是說,當貼紙上的山變成『藍山』,那就是最適合飲用的溫度!

要早知道有這鍋魯味,我會禁食兩頓,清個空胃來填這一餐!

隔天早上一醒來,就有個老外在樓下裝浪漫!活像個巴黎街頭的賣藝浪人!只可惜,背後的政治標語似乎不甚浪漫!倒像是歐巴馬請來助選的!我從窗台望下去,好好聽了一曲!其實還真不錯!就是場景不搭,旁邊那個看熱鬧的小子聽到最後竟然也沒丟個銅板!呵呵!…

我煮了杯咖啡,讀讀信,心想樓下還有人幫我奏樂!那天早上真是夠了!
