Dear Taichung Happiers,

Good food, like good films, always conveys and creates a certain flavor of memories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgiK-HWKPjw

How deep is your love for food? Nobel Literature laureate George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) firmly believed “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” Why is that? All right, who is the Da Vinci in the kitchen? Mama always sees inside the best of food and transfers a richer eating experience to us. How high is your Mom’s expectation of your cooking assistance during the Chinese New Year Holidays? This weekend, we’ll find our host Yang can talk about a variety of topics and have a mouth-watering gathering. Brothers and sisters, welcome to join Yang in flying high with our experiments in the kitchen. Buckle up!

“What two things can you never eat for breakfast?” “Lunch and dinner” Yeah….. Breakfast is all about our health and happiness. American journalist and author John Gunther (August 30, 1901 – May 29, 1970) had the picture portraying the most beautiful breakfast. “All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast.” (Oh, also, your happiness depends on your mew mew’s breakfast. Yeeeeesss? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uIRuanbag8 ) Having a balanced breakfast regularly can be a catalyst for a long, happy, and healthy life. So, what does a beneficial breakfast smell like? What do you enjoy most, local or exotic breakfast? http://time.com/4254125/healthy-international-breakfast/ By the way, despite the long-debated benefits and disadvantages of coffee, research results have lately revealed morning coffee can help fight aging. Hum… then, morning coffee with a signature image, anyone? http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/2016/02/24/ripple-coffee-maker.cnnmoney/

“What do polar bears eat for lunch?” “Ice berg-ers!” Hey, what is another name for Lunch but culture and creativity? Wherever we have lunch, we dream of the food creatively representing the great insight into local culture. For example, it is so cool that Finnish people can find satisfaction in SPA and burgers at the same time! http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/17/foodanddrink/burger-king-sauna-spa-helsinki-finland/index.html Also, tell me, please, how close is your stomach to your heart? Can we listen to the energy and emotions within foods? Moreover, here comes the assignment for you: How to create a culture of kindness? Would you like to let the light shine in our hearts by making Lunch a cultural ambassador of kindness? http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/31/health/fsu-football-player-sits-at-lunch-trnd/ Now, relax--time for a Lunch Break! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6qhqSHsr70

From “The Iceberg Theory” (by Gerald Locklin)

at any rate, I really enjoy a salad
with plenty of chunky iceberg lettuce,
the more the merrier,
drenched in an Italian or roquefort dressing.
and the poems I enjoy are those I don't have
to pretend that I'm enjoying.

“What is the only time a man thinks about a candlelight dinner?” “When the power goes off” R-E-A-L-L-Y? A relaxing atmosphere for dinner is the greatest gift for families and friends. Dinner is full of stories and surprises. No? What is the Sushi whispering in your ear? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUBxMtHft5I Dinner frees our soul to sense a world of beauty and love. “After a full belly all is poetry”, Pulitzer Prize winner Frank McCourt (August 19, 1930 – July 19, 2009) praised the blessing. How adorable! Sitting at the table for dinner, everyone is a little child experiencing the Wonderland—where the cook is the most magnificent magician—preparing a dinner with deep affection and passion like a ballerina who understands and blows our minds by performing to the music. What can be more poetic than the preparation with patience and purity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZJ3RIG_7Gk Although a dream is more powerful than one thousand realities, to cook, take the first step is the most significant. How about starting with Naruto’s Ramen, shall we? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmqfNQG1BXk Above all, dinner tables always propose the possibilities beyond our expectation and imagination. Let’s learn from this Six Dinner Cat to contribute to real connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAljbQCQ8i4

Breakfast is for body; lunch, for mind; dinner, for soul. We are what we eat, and we are what we cook! Julia Child (August 15, 1912 – August 13, 2004), an American chef, author, and television personality, touched and melted innumerable hearts. “People who love to eat are always the best people.” For party food and more, it will be a sheer joy to invite food/cooking inspiration together. Sugar Plum for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCSRy6dIxXQ Happy Chinese New Year! Join us. Thanks!!!
