私房菜 啤酒鸭 – 由Tony Chiang 主理和提供 I have no clue how this happened, but somehow my dad got onto a web tv cooking show called MeiMei’s Kitchen. I think MeiMei was part of our China tour group… maybe.

Made it! The street meat is delicious.
Last night, I entered another hilarious rosham, as is my wont. Someone was adamant about refusing to join Facebook, so I proposed the only reasonable solution, viz. rosham she had to join.
