Going to Taiwan

Finally book our airline tickets... whew! Didn't realize there are so many expos in Taiwan around November, making any reasonably-priced tickets extremely difficult to find ...

This will actually be my 1st trip to Taiwan in the fall, in the past I could only managed to get time off in the summer when the blazing heat in Taiwan is at its best. Can't wait to see what Taiwan will feel like in November... hopefully not too rainy~ (I'm picky.. I know).

I want the GOOD beef!

It wasn’t until I visited fiancé’ relatives in Montana that I started to believe there are still many great ethical cattle ranchers who still believe in raising cattle ethically and properly. I don’t mean that they “love” their calves or their cows… they definitely don’t treat them as pet or think they are cute and give them names like Moo… but they know that a good piece of steak comes from a healthy cow. If you have ever tasted a Montana raised cow who roams around freely eating grasses and hays, who often gather around by the river underneath the trees…enjoying a beautiful afternoon… I hope, you too, will appreciate the fine steak that is on your dinner table (that’s if the meat comes from cattle that are raised like it should instead of being locked in a confined space and forced to eat in order to put on tons of weight).

I’m not an expert of livestock … but I know the steaks I tasted in Montana are tenderer, juicier and more flavorful. If you have ever tasted a home-grown tomato and notice the differences between that and the ones you bought in the supermarket… you’ll know the difference between a real steak and those that come from unethical cattle farmers…!
