For those of you that have been to Taiwan you will know what Stinky Tofu is. For those of you who have never been to Taiwan, you might have heard of it and if you have smelled it…you would never forget it. Stinky Tofu is a very Taiwanese delicacy involving tofu that is usually fried or steamed. How it’s made…well I don’t really know but there are stories usually involving some type of ammonia and fermentation. The reason it is called Stinky Tofu is that it gives out a very distinctive odor, when very strong it literally smells like a dog s**t, a big pile of fresh hot dog s**t. It’s not my favorite…I can usually man up to eat the fried ones but the steamed…no way. The steamed ones smell is about twice as strong and the texture…let’s just say I have never eaten dog s**t, but I can imagine that it tastes exactly like that.
So we took my sister to the night market and we decide to try to have some stinky tofu. It was Mimi’s first and well she put up a brave front. Here is the video…

32 and Counting….
Ok…I’m not dead…my previous camera is dead, but I am not. My previous camera fell victim to a deadly destructive force called Mimi which, in turn, lapsed into a long blog rest by yours truly. I know, sad excuse but it is an excuse. I could have bought a new camera however my money has been going to other things recently. I could have used Annie’s SLR however I hate lugging around that thing. Also the SLR has a million functions but one of them is not recording videos which I think is very strange.
However there are no more excuses now, my sister just gave me a new camera for Christmas because she was sick and tired of asking how Mimi is doing and my only reply is that she is doing good. So here is a quick update on me and my family, and while there has been many good moments which unfortunately passed this last 2 years…well I hope to capture the next couple…or at least until Mimi strikes again on my new camera.
32 and counting…and keeping my weight down…
Mimi…more grown up but as silly and cute as ever
New house…first house…beautiful house…
