Fortune Cookies and a Great Writer



Knowing that other people have fun with food, eating it, making it, researching it, writing about it is a great feeling! Right know I feel as if sharing a nice serving of General Tso's Chicken while discussing the finer points of American-Chinese Cuisine with Jennifer 8. Lee, whose humorist quest in The Fortune Cookie Chronicles really makes you think global, would be lots of enlightening fun.

A great deal of what she writes can be applied to Mexican Food in the US. I mean, how many dishes thought of as "Mexican" are in fact US creations, exported to the rest of the world? The same is true of the Chinese Food we-who-are-not-Chinese think is authentic... but I'm not giving away the secrets of Jennifer 8. Lee's Adventures in the World of Chinese Food... you'll just have to plan a quiet evening at home, with this great book and some Chinese take-out for company. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Hej! Är du svensk??? If not, let me know if you want this translated into english =)

Jag har precis startat en blogg med ett nytt koncept. Jag publicerar bara andras inlägg! poängen är att man ska kunna hitta nya roliga bloggar utan att leta ihjäl sig. De listor med bloggar som finns idag är bara topplistor, jag vill få fram alla andra bloggar! Men för att få igång bloggen så att konceptet fungerar måste jag sprida mitt budskap (det är det jag gör nu). Under fresh&cleans rubrik på bloggen så finns det en kort förklaring till hur man gör för att publisera ett inlägg av sin egen blogg. Titta gärna in! Ju fler desto roligare... kram!
