pumpkin hot pot

pumpkin hot pot

This is the pumpkin hot pot I mentioned awhile back.  I love this stuff.  It is GREAT!!

I took Veronica there so she could try it too.  It was yummy!!

In all honesty, being able to eat Taiwanese hot pot is a great example of what I have mentioned before--that God has changed me.  My first year here--as an exchange student in 1999--I absoluetly hated hotpot.  I would barely touch the stuff. 

Now, I eagerly choose it and enjoy it.  Granted, I still do pass on a few of the items that can be put in the hotpot--take for example the congealed ducks blood--but overall I love this dish. 

Our God is a God of details.  And the detail of helping me love Taiwanese food is one I am very, very grateful for!!  My first month here in 1997 . . . I lived on shrimp, rice, eggs, and peanut butter.  Yeah, He has done some major work on my taste buds!! :)

Below is a pic of Veronica enjoying her pumpkin hotpot:

sleeping This is not a particulary flattering photo . . . but I like it. Right before I left Taiwan for a month this summer, I clung to Gilby wanting to savor every moment with my little pup. The night before our parting, I actually made him my pillow, and he didn't seem to mind.

my recent visitors--yes, that means YOU! Thanks to sitemeter, I can see where in the whole wide world my last 100 visitors have come from. I just wanted to let you know you are welcome here. Several people--some who I know well and others who I don't know so well--"admitted" to reading my blog when I was home in the States this summer. I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to feel guilty reading my blog--you aren't a peeking tom; you are a welcomed guest. :) (My best guess is that some people who don't blog feel a kind of guilt reading other people's blogs.) I see my blog as a way to share what is happening in my life with my family and friends back in the States, but I also see my blog as a way for me to share Taiwan and my heart for the Taiwanese people with others, as a way to share a few of my hobbies (photography and writing) with others, and as a way to connect with other Christian ladies since where I live these kinds of relationships are rare. It is also a way for me to record in words and pictures my journey and adventures along this unknown path. So, if you read my blog often--thanks! If you stop by occasionally--thanks!! If this happens to be your first visit--well, thanks and hope you come back for more! No matter how often you stop by, please don't be afraid to comment; however, if you wanna keep lurking (reading but not commenting) that is perfectly ok too. Just one thing I ask, please don't feel that stopping by is a guilty pleasure. Remember, you are more than welcome here!! :) Edited to add: I had already edited this post--but apparently it didn't get saved. I had added the map that is now above, and also added something along the lines of even though I don't always get a chance to reply or respond to comments, I do read them all and appreciate them greatly.
