29th edition: Bing Gan
(Slacking, I know. Sorry for the delay)
While I was home, I remembered how much I love to bake. Feeding people makes me happy. And it's just satisfying to turn a pile of ingredients into something tasty. So I baked a lot in Brian's glorious kitchen.
Unfortunately, back here in Taiwan, the apartments aren't built for cooking. There's a huge eating-out/take-out food culture here and not a ton of at-home cooking, especially among young-ish people who live in apartments rather than proper houses. So... I am making do with the toaster oven in the other apartment. I've resolved to bake weekly, the night before our weekly group meetings so I can feed people my creations and be sure I won't have to eat the aftermath of my baking alone. Mostly, I'll be baking bing gan (cookies!) since they're my favorite things to bake and they're easy to transport by scooter. Plus, I can make cookies from scratch, whereas I have a limited supply of hand-carried cake mix and frosting. But seriously, if you're thinking "I need to send that JennyWei girl a care package" send me some more things to bake:)

I'm imagining smelling those cookies !mmmmmm! BTW - Jenny's Blondies are always a hit at the holidays - I baked them for Christmas and they were either eaten on the spot or taken home by guests - we should call you "Mrs Fields"....
