The McSquid burger is back!

I'm still getting used to the hot pot and self-grill. It just seems counter intuitive to go out to eat and then have to cook the meal yourself.

I haven't mastered the hot pot. I just toss everything into the pot at once and boil it all until it's done. But it still never seems to have much flavor. It just seems like there should be more spices to give it flavor.

Ugh! I think my schedule in Taiwan may have just got extended until mid-August. Not a bad thing really, it's an easy job, other than sweating through 2 shirts a day. They have a little gap in the project, so they'll probably just pay me to stand-by for the better part of a week. I told them if they'll cover my living expenses, I'll take a 5-day vacation in Taiwan. Looking at maybe a 5-day guided coach tour.

I really enjoy the people here. Smart, hard working, no crime and very cordial to visitors. Sadly, I'm not sure they'd find the same thing in the States, if roles were reversed.

Finally, there's an end in sight and I head home Monday.

I was at the store today picking up some food and snacks. I stopped at the potato chip aisle to make note of the available flavors. Here are some of the more interesting flavors of Lay's potato chips.

Mango Chutney
Kyushu Seaweed
Scallops
Kelp Salt
Hot Chili
Swiss Cheese

They have many, many more brands and flavors.
