Hdd and Oxtail Soup
Posted by Jules - September 29, 2007 at 10:09:28 amMy old PC died over over 1.5 years ago, but I’ve only begun to back up the pictures on my two hard drives this week. At the prodding of Mike, I bought a external enclosure thing for my internal hdd, and wah la! It’s nice that I have my pictures back from the last three years. I’m glad my hdds were still okay.
I didn’t have time to buy mooncake before the mid autumn festival this year! T_T No white lotus single yolk for jules.
On other fronts, I made oxtail soup by myself for the first time, and I think it turned out pretty well. A trip to 99 ranch netted me oxtails, carrots, ginger, dried medlar berries and dried longan. I thought I would have to make it without dried orange peel, but then I remember my packet of half eaten Jiaobao mandarin peel hanging out in my backpack (I used to get airsick all the time, so I would alternate between scarfing Jiaobao mandarin peels and Mentos. Don’t worry- the packet I used wasn’t as old as that). I started off on the stove, but then decided I wanted to try it in a crock pot because I didn’t want to live in a sauna for four hours and dumped everything in. I’m rather pleased with that.
