#ACRTW - My first day in Taipei.
Though the battery on my N86 ran out mere seconds into this recording, the story here is that halfway around the world and a week into my trip I was back on Qik, and it was all thanks to the SIM card I got with unlimited data from local carrier FarEasTone.
Because my costs for transmitted data were now $6 CAD per day instead of $4 CAD per megabyte I was now free and clear to (for example) make a public nuisance of myself in my hotel's lobby restaurant:
Though this little coffee shop offered a great view of Monday morning commuters, I spent the rest of my breakfasts at the top-floor buffet...
Shortly after breakfast it was time for another meal -- this one with Carol & David Chen, parents of my good friend (and top-notch cat-sitter) Sandy.
After lunch Mrs. Chen kindly offered to take me through Guang Ha Digital Plaza, which must have been boring as all hell for her so I bought her ice cream. She returned the favour by taking me to a night market and buying me a bag of this bizarre Taiwanese chewing gum:
This concoction is actually areca nuts wrapped in betel leaves. You're not meant to actually eat any of it, just swallow the juice and spit out the rest once it dries up.
Though often sold at roadside stands by scantily-clad ladies my purchasing experience was a little different; the grumpy old woman that eventually sold me this bag had to be talked into it -- she was convinced I'd have a heart attack if I had all of it, and she was probably right... Just one piece gets your heart racing!
Brownies you can make with your eyes closed, or, after downing half a bottle of wine
We've all been there: it's 1am and you've had a few drinks and you're craving the richest, most decadent chocolate dessert ever created and all you have are a coupla unsweetened chocolate bars and that Aero bar from Halloween (yuck).
Dilemma solved: Easiest ever brownies - "based" on recipe from "Baker's Chocolate"
4 squares Unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350F
Grease your baking pan. I used an 8" x 8"
Melt chocolate and butter.
Stir sugar into melty chocolate until well blended. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
Stir in flour, baking powder and nuts.
Spread in pan.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
(optional version, for increased chocolate indulgence: Cheesecake it! That is, after about 26 minutes baking at full temp, turn your oven off, but leave the brownies untouched. Remove after 10 minutes, or so. A toothpick inserted should be nearly clean, but not completely. Let cool. Then enjoy the easiest decadent brownies :)
Calories per pan: millions, but it's 2am and you don't really care that much anyway.
