A weekend is always a breath of fresh air a midst a stuffy itinerary of papers, events, and due dates; and I am not about to let it slip by without the addition of some sweet memories. Something wintry and bright, and maybe with a bit of spice would be surely very nice, but continuing with my… Continue reading Honey Honey

These were Taiwanese… Continue reading Taiwanese Pork Candy
