Recipe
Almond Jelly (Annin Tofu)
February 5, 2012
Are you looking for a great, light dessert? This is my favorite dessert of all time. Annin tofu originated in Hong Kong and is usually found in dim sum restaurants. It is extremely popular in Japan too. Many restaurants make faux-annin tofu made with agar and almond essence but the real version is made with southern Chinese apricot kernels. If you are lucky to be able to get real kernels, you can make the best annin tofu. |

Featured Project : Vegetable Garden in Marshall Island
First Harvest and easyBloom
February 1, 2012
| The last five months I have been trying to grow many different kinds of vegetables and herbs in my new and challenging home garden. Most of the leafy greens are somewhat successful but I have been struggling with almost all the vegetables; Summer squash, cucumber, beans, sugar snap peas, tomatos... none of them made it. |  |
Global Feast : The Marshall Islands
Aliang Restaurant
January 22, 2012
| The Marshall Islands is not a restaurant destination. In fact, there are only one or two restaurants that offer local Marshallese food that is not simply BBQ take-out. What there are more than anything are Chinese restaurants. I've been trying a few of these slowly but have not been too impressed. But like most of my friends, if I had to choose, I'd say Aliang Restaurant is probably my favorite. At a recent dinner there, the chef didn't miss a stroke. |  |
