It's a little unlike me, but I didn't take very many photos on this trip. Mostly because I didn't want to think about whether I wanted to share them on social or what the purposes of the photos are. I wanted to enjoy the moments and nature and recenter myself - do things for me and because I love it.

I did take quite a few photos on my film pentax kx and im excited to see if any of them turns out good 😛

Here are some photos of the magical @greatsanddunesnps and a very cute calf stalking us at camp in the forest. 💖

Back in Rochester soon to feed people tasty food. 💪

A reminder to visit your local farmers market on a Saturday to find cool stuff! The coolest thing I found at @santafefarmersmarket was FRESH jujube dates and goji berries. They blew my mind.

More exciting finds at the @santafefarmersmarket 😍

Farmers Market is my happy place 💖 i love looking for unique local foods and what farmers can grow in the region. @santafefarmersmarket is a farmers market I've been eyeing from afar since I've moved to the US, we finally got to visit it this weekend!

We found so many goodies, we had to break the video up into 3 parts.

Follow me on a journey, discovering what's unique to the region of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

🔥Super special pop-up dinner at @1928cocktails 🔥 Taiwanese//American Pop-up with @jchang.kitchen

Wednesday | October 23rd | 6:30 PM - 8:30PM @1928cocktails

It's happening! I've convinced @jchang.kitchen to drive to Rochester MN to do a pop-up dinner with me! This is years in the making, and I am so excited. Our friendship has grown so much and while we're both Taiwanese, our cooking styles are so different, influenced by our upbringing. This is really a one-of-a-kind event that you don't want to miss. We're bringing food and culture to Rochester! ✌️ (All my friends in the cities are asking me why I'm not doing this in MPLS but I got to take care of the city I live in first!)

🤸 Details//

Join Taiwanese American chef James Chang from Kansas City, @choochoocachew and The Libation Project for this unique 6 course dinner and pairing experience!

James Chang was born in Taiwan but grew up in America, currently residing in Kansas City. He'e been cooking in the kitchen since he was 7 in his dad's restaurants. Now he continues to create unique pop-up food events in KC, feeding hundreds of hungry souls who line up an hour before each event just to get a bite of his food. He has also been featured on the cover of KC STAR. Don't miss out on this opportunity to try his food.

During this extra special pop-up dinner collab, James and Tiffany will each cook up their version of the "same dish". Tiffany's version will be the traditional Taiwanese version while James will create a true fusion of his Taiwanese and American upbringing so guests can compare the differences between both.

The Libation Project will provide wine and cocktail pairing for the event. Jon Olson, a master mixologist who specializes in unique craft cocktails will be joining us to create 2 delicious specialty cocktails that are inspired by the culinary heritage of the chefs.

Get your tickets now (link in bio) or 👉 https://checkout.square.site/buy/WCYPXUBIAGT4S32OL6HSHQW4

$135 includes all the food and 4 drink pairings

Last night's SPIRITED AWAY dinner at @popsarttheat

Last night's SPIRITED AWAY dinner at @popsarttheater was magical. I was proud that we could have this event in Rochester and people showed up for it! suck it, twin cities. 😉 Thank you to all that made this happen and my sous chef Sean. ❤️

Spirited Away was a movie I grew up with and I've watched at least 10 times in 3 different languages throughout my life. It always reminds me of home, Taiwan. I've always been inspired by the food in the movie and I'm SO happy to be able to share my inspiration in real life with you.

It was nerve wrecking going into the event. I felt like I was challenging midwestern's taste buds by making a piggy head (first time cooking one for me as well, but I knew how GOOD the cut is), I'm happy to announce there was none left and it was flavorful and succulent, it took us 2 days driving all over the Twin Cities and called at least 2 owners of different Asian grocery stores to secure the cut. Worth it. The salted egg stuffed squid was another dish I was nervous about but received rave reviews. Heck YEAH.

This event was a ton of hours and so much food, I wish I had time to take more photos! If you have a photo of the full spread, please send them to me. 😍

THANK YOU, @old_abe_and_co for the donuts @ootorisushi for making the sushi for the event and @1928cocktails for providing the kitchen space.

Let's do more fun things!
