A New Year… One month too late.
I feel as if every time I put up I new post, I’m apologizing for the lack of consistency of posts. Well, I guess it’s cause I’ve been lacking posts. My previous excuse was the craziness of the holidays, then I was out of the country for 2.25 weeks so now what’s my excuse? Why hasn’t there been any posts for this new year? Well, does being busy and trying to get my body back in the same time zone count? Some might say yes and others…well. Let’s just cut Cindy some slack.
I decided that I might try to do something new this year. Instead of every post being about how to make something delicious for your tummy. I’d like to add one or two posts every couple months to a topic all culinary. You’ll see what I mean, and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Anywho…this post I’d like to share some photos from my trip to Asia.
I was lucky enough to spend 16 days with my mother and sister visiting extended family we hadn’t seen in over five years. The first leg of our trip was to visit my Aunt( my mom’s younger sister). Then, the 4 of us headed over to Taiwan to visit my mother’s older brother and participate in my cousin’s wedding. Oh, what a joyous occasion! Then we high tailed it to Hong Kong to visit my dad’s side of the family. It was a lot of flying, packing/unpacking and of course my favorite…getting to eat all the delicious food each country had to offer! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. Ok, I’m going to post the photos now. I hope you enjoy!!!
