Giant beetroot Chioggia

Often when I saw it growing,  I told myself I will harvest later when I am ready to eat.

Days passed, perhaps months passed.  I finally harvested it.


It was huge!  I place a medium side glove beside it.  Then, when I came home, I took another picture with a pencil on top and a bowl of pasticcios which happened to be here. 



I am not quite sure how to cook it.  I have a smaller version of this gigantic.  I plan to make a soup and see how it goes.


This is one of the wonderful unexpected on my property this year.

酸麵包 Sourdough Bread

I had to look up how to say sourdough bread in Chinese.  The fact is, I never had this kind of bread in Taiwan. A good sourdough bread is often chewy, airy, and have nice hard crust.  The texture stands on the opposite end of Asian breads which are soft, still airy, sweet, and soft crust (ideal bread for people with no teeth or chewing problem?). I got my sourdough start - Hope in November 2020 (yap, right ahead of the pandemic craze of baking sourdough) from someone giving it out for free on Facebook's Seattle Taiwanese Mom's group.  It came in a small container, a size of a ping pong ball.  When I saw it, I didn't know if it was worth the 20 minutes driving to reach the owner's house. I looked up many sourdough YouTubes.  There are so many.  If I am to recommend one, it would be -  How To Make Sourdough Bread Masterclass .  😊 10M+ people watched it.  The recipe makes two loaves of bread. I keep Hope in a mason jar.  We don't...

Taro Pastry 芋頭酥

I missed my Dad's taro pastry -  芋頭酥 .  It's almost mid-autumn festival, 中秋節.  The air was bad in Seattle for more than week.  Since I was being cooked in the house for a week, I decided to make  taro pastry,  芋頭酥 and give them away as the Chinese custom.  😂 Of course, only if they turned out to be 色，香， 味俱全 - perfect balance of color, smell and taste. This time of the year, the Westerns have Thanksgiving followed by Christmas.  The Chinese has mid-autumn festival  中秋節 followed by Chinese New Year 春節.  Both the West and the East promote gatherings and food... lots of fatty food.  😅 I followed 宗辰的職人日誌 again.  However, I wasn't able to find purple sweet potato powder in Asian supermarket and it was quite expensive on Amazon - $3.22 / ounce.  I did have green tea powder, but that will look totally weird on taro pastry.  In the end, I decided to use dark rye flour (😆!)...
