The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

20190224_012517.jpg

Nice book on food, Chinese restaurants in US, immigration histories.

I have always thought Fortune Cookie is very similar to Japanese Senbei..ย  and this book nailed it off. And, also, I have to admit I was a fan of “Manhattan style Chinese Foods” -as it is marketed in Seoul- as the writer calls out as one interesting thing happening in the world..

(Well I don’t have the fantasy of “Manhattan” but these US Chinese food brings me the memories of cold & hungry times at Ames, Iowa…)

Finding Lost Wristband with Bluetooth

20190219_143017.jpg

Finding the lost wristband with Bluetooth buzzing was all about experiments – finally found it from recycle trash bin – how the hack it got dropped in there.. ๐Ÿ™‚ – which was about to be collected in this morning, after series of trial & errors.

Started connecting attempts via phone’s Bluetooth around the bed, Family room, car/garage, and front yard (and snow pile). Then, I got it connected to phone at front yard/snow pile. Finally, after another round of trial and errors noticed the connection/heard the buzzing sounds in recycle bin..

This precious thing was saved from getting thrown into garbage at this morning ๐Ÿ™‚
