    JoeL's details

    About me:
    I am Cantonese Chinese originally from Hong Kong.
    Food I like to eat:
    Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian & Spicy food. I like all kind of soups. I like fruits and fruity beverages.
    Food I do not like to eat:
    I liked but cannot eat offals. I knew I used up my lifetime quota when I developed gout.

    I hate raw onion and raw garlic, but I love the cooked version of the same thing. What a big difference a little cooking makes!

    I don't like American desserts because they are usually 3 times sweeter than they should be. Chinese, Japanese & French bakeries make good light desserts.

    I hate artificial sweeteners. I'd rather have my drink unsweetened than to tolerate that aweful after-taste. Recent studies say diet sodas make people fatter than regular sodas, so what is the point to get fatter and cancer at the same time?
    Who I'd like to eat with:
    family & friends.
    My exercise routine:
    Chewing food. Clicking the TV remote control.

    Haha. Thanks for the compliment. It's because I wander that I expand my tastebuds and get ideas for cooking. :)

    fancy camera = fancy pictures!
    i eat w/ my eyes first, so the pics are really important to me. even w/ a pointandshoot camera, you can still get really good pics.

    Hi JoeL, re: the upload speed/time, I use this easy software to shrink the images before I upload. It reduces the file size about 90%.

    http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

    Download PhotoResize400.exe and place it on your desktop. Rename it to: PhotoResize800.exe

    and then drag your file folder with the images over the icon.

    hope this helps.

    thanks for all the support!

    Thanks for the photo tips! It ended up being that the default setting for my camera had the image way too big like at 1,000 or something. I sized it down and it seems to be fine now.

    Actually I have the same connection. It's been pretty easy to upload from how. Though I am at a hotel this week and it takes twice the amount of time to upload probably due to the fact that I am sharing my connection with many others..

    ^_^ Good guess... I'm a mini cooking mama..

    stay tuned for some food pictures from our recent Asian trip. I have some good one in mind, e.g. a HK$2000 cubic water melon from Japan. A basket of JPN 5000 yen grapes. The poisoneous blowfish dinner we had in Japan etc.

    We didn't have a habit to take pictures of food except when we encountered something new and special during travel. As a tourist, the camera is always around. At home, it is kind of awkward to take pictures of food.

    hehehe... you're almost #1 with the number of licks. That's awesome! I have 4713 and it took me one year.

    What did you think of your whole "licking" experience? fun? useless? etc? should it be something different? So far, a "lick" doesn't do anything for the user, but we'd like to use the "lick" for something in the future. perhaps, showing other similar dishes, etc, etc.

    Thanks for the support. And, thanks for all the suggestions on the forum! We very much appreciate the feedback.
