Craving For C? Check Out Recipes Of Caldereta And Carbonara





What would you do if no one is home? Pretty much they left you alone. Sad, right? Yeah I felt devastated too. I've been struggling being too much independent for the past few days. What's hard about it is you tend to deprive your usual 8 hours of sleep. It's like you're working all day long. But what's great on the other side is I spent so much time in the kitchen. Somewhat I was able to master my cooking skills. Imagine you're cooking while singing all by myself of celine dion. Sad, right? But since I'm introvert that helped me to be more focused on what I'm doing. For sure, what I made were 100% delicious. So, I already posted my recipes last christmas and for new year'eve celebration. But I wanna add two more recipes. I can say these are two of my comfort foods. Let's start the taste test!

The trains, especially the Taipei Metro , were incredibly clean, fast, and always on time. It was so easy to navigate, even for a visitor like me.

Thankfully, I’ll be working from home for the next three weeks, which gives me the perfect opportunity to start another blog. But before I get into that, it’s hard to ignore the negative things happening around us.
