</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am not quite sure who will be reading my blog other than my boyfriend, but I suppose if you're someone who wondered into my page, you might be curious as to whom I am and how you would relate to my food experiences. So I will start my blog by establishing some baseline about myself.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As I start this food blog, I currently work as a research coordinator at the New York Obesity Research Center. In short, I do research with lots of people struggling with weight issues. Nonetheless, I am very much a junk food junkie (you'll see my many burger postings). That's not to say that I'm not at all health conscious, when confronted with which cheese to put on my burger, I still try to pick lesser of the two evils. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It's important to note that I am from Taiwan, meaning that I grew up eating lots of Chinese and Japanese food. My mom is not an avid cook, our family meals were mostly eating out or eating take out. What cooking skills I have acquired was over the past few years here in New York, being a poor graduate student/research assistant pushes you towards the kitchen; being away from home gives you an extra nudge to try to replicate delicious food that remind you of home. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">In terms of restaurant, I’m very open-minded, I can name my favorite foods from food trucks, hole in the wall joints, delis or Michelin starred restaurants. I like wine, but don’t know anything about them, except I prefer white over red. I enjoy sweets, and honestly think that I have another stomach for deserts. I cook for my boyfriend and myself almost every week, and once in a while use baking as a mean to release stress. I enjoy cooking, but do not like washing veges (for fear of bugs), and I slightly dislike washing dishes. Oh, I hate peppers, bell peppers to be exact. Not just the green ones, but all red, orange, yellow and whatever colors they might come up with later as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Thanks for making it this far, now let my contribution to online food porn begin!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
