Kristin and I had a bet going about which was bigger (geographically): the U.S. or China.

I started a food blog called Foodblog! It’s a combination of show-offy pictures of food, recipes, discussion about cooking techniques, and food/diet/culture talk.

Here’s a few pics from our move to NC. As most of you will know, we have a 55 gallon fish tank that we love, and we wanted to move the tank and all the fish to their new home in NC. Here’s the fish in coolers, getting ready for the move: And here we [...]

By now, Kristin and I have moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A lot has happened recently, and I’m going to try to write a few articles here to catch up on it all. First up, my parents came and visited. We (of course) took them to the Zoo. Here’s a couple pics. That’s it! [...]
