June 2008 Giveaway

Congratulation to our May giveaway winner Wendy.   I hope you will like the cute earrings!  And thanks to Angie Hearts Boutique for sponsoring the prize.  (Please check out Angie Hearts Boutique's June giveaway as well.  They are giving away one Silver Beaded Seashell Clutch Evening Bag!)



For our June giveaway, the prizes are: (1) Burt's Bees Rosemary Mint Shampoo Bar + Peppermint Shower Soap; (2) Burt's Bees Hand Salve, Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme & Beeswax Lip Balm. 



Summer is here.  So for this month's question, please tell me what is your favorite food in the summer.  Please be specific with your answer.  For example, if you answer ice cream, please tell me the flavor of the ice cream.

My favorite food in the summer is corn + watermelon.  I love anything corn... BBQ corn, corn chowder, corn salad, etc.  How can you not love corn?  It's just so sweet and... squishy.  I just like biting into corn and how the juice just spits out.  Watermelon is the best fruit to eat in the summer.  It has to be ice cold though.  I also like watermelon juice.  Talking about corn and watermelon is making me miss Taiwan more.  I really miss having a grill corn in one hand and watermelon juice in another while walking around the night market.

So... What is your favorite summer food?  你在夏天最喜歡吃的東西是什麼呢?

  1. my favorites are chocolate sorbet + cherries =)

    I do miss all the 'street' food back in China though.. sigh, too bad we don't have such luxury here :(


    ah.... chocolate + cheery, perfect combination.
    Reminded me of Black Forest cake.
    Yes, I really miss "street" food, too.

  2. humm,, favorite summer food, erhh??
    i love to have an iced cappacino on my way http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com after school...~~
    and scooping icey cold watermelon (after cut it in half) and eat a mouthful while watching my favorite TV show...(it's sex and the city now..^^) is just heavenly...
    *if i'm not on a diet, having chocolate cookie dough icecream for lunch while chill'g with friends in baskin robbins is just the best part of summer~~
    but now, i can only drink diet coke...

  3. My favorite summer food is shaved ice (the Taiwanese kind). My must-have toppings are: 仙草,波霸,湯圓,and 綠豆, hold the condensed milk, and easy on syrup!


    You don't like condensed milk on your shaved ice?
    That's my must have! And lots of syrup, too.
    No wonder I'm constantly on a diet.

  4. 涼圓加冰紅茶跟冰的米台目刨冰加黑糖水


    我從來沒有吃過米苔目耶
    米苔目不是一種麵吃鹹的嗎
    還可以用來吃甜的刨冰啊

  7. 我最喜歡的食物是大紅豆+花生+煉乳刨冰 ... 還有哈密瓜跟西瓜 ... XD (雖然我不知道台灣是不是夏天才有哈密瓜, 但是哥斯大黎加的超市差不多到六七月就會有哈密瓜了~)


    吃刨冰一定要加大紅豆和煉乳的啦
    哈密瓜好像在美國一年四季都吃的到呢

  10. 好一陣子沒參加抽獎了(想說不會那麼好運中兩次) 剛好現在有缺護手霜跟護脣膏...

    夏天愛吃的好多 一下子沒辦法挑出最愛 所以我決定寫我現在想吃的(咦?還沒夏天嗎?)
    天氣熱的話泰國料理一定是王道阿 沒辦法具體描述哪一道 因為只要夠酸辣都好 不然就算青木瓜沙拉好了
    冰品的話挫冰芋圓米苔目我通通愛 但是現在最想吃冰豆花加花生跟粉圓


    夏天真的很適合吃酸辣的泰國料理耶
    (也應該很適合去泰國旅遊... 想到你去泰國的遊記,很羨慕的咧)

  11. 啊! 居然不小心錯過上個月的give away!
    夏天吃冰涼又甜甜又沙沙的西瓜是王道! 我也超愛的, 一次吃1/4顆完全不是問題! 夏天當然也要BBQ, 吃完再吃碗剉冰或冰豆花加粉圓花生都好讚喔~ 簡單一點來杯天仁的檸檬草莓冰沙也是一個棒!


    對耶我也喜歡那種沙沙的西瓜 ^^
    BBQ也是真的一定要的啦(哈哈我等等就要去吃BBQ午餐啦)

  12. Ha~ Green Bean Sweet Soup is definitely one of my favorite food in summer~ I will make a huge pot and then put it in the fridge~ i also like to add some barley and seaweed in the soup to enrich its texture~ ^.^


    Green bean sweet soup?
    I don't think I've ever had it that way.
    Sounds very refreshing though.

  13. I like 涼麵!!!

  14. Summer - Of course, Taiwanese Style Shaved Ice..well, actually I love all kind of Ice deserts in summer. Well, but if you remember, our moms always tell us not to have cold drinks or ice cream because they are not good for your body (specifically for Female). I remember my grandmother always gives me warm water. You know what? I never listened to them. Now, I wish I had listened to them. As I get older, I feel the difference. Hence, my favorite summer food becomes - Watermelon (Eileen is right, ice cold only), salad, hot dog with onion and ketchup , and apple.


    I like all the food you mentioned.
    (Maybe I just like ALL food?)

  15. 夏天喔,
    鹹食應該是喜歡吃口味更重的東西
    像川菜的水煮系列跟台灣的三杯系列(雖然後者這裡好吃的比較少)
    甜食的話我很喜歡吃sprinkles跟frozen yogurt
    喔喔喔還有加了一堆碎冰的豆花或是thai tea

    好多好多喔~對了我沒在你網址看過介紹sprinkles
    Eileen現在在ktown工作那離sprinkles稍微近一點了
    你可以去試試看它們家的cup cake喔
    我很喜歡它家的red velvet口味
    有機會你可以去吃吃看,每天有的口味都不一樣
    可以先上網看看 http://www.sprinklescupcakes.com/

    推薦給你喔^^我一年多之前吃第一次之後就每隔一陣子都會犯cupcake癮了


    Sprinkles蠻好吃的
    不過我對cupcake好像沒有特別喜歡耶
    所以就是有就吃
    沒有也懶得開車特地去買
    不過聽你一提也蠻想吃的哈哈
    下次要是有經過或到附近去買一些來當下午茶吧
