A Beavertail Story

Recently I have updated my Facebook DP and I was intrigued that some Canadians on the westcoast does not know what a Beavertail (also known as BT) is. And I was not surprised…for several reasons:
#1: We do not have a lot of beavertails store in Vancouver. (In fact, I’ve only visited one.)
#2: I guess it’s not as cold here…not the same experience when u’r eating one -20 degrees outside.

But, I do think it’s time I introduce this ‘fried dough’ to you all western canadians! This piece of fried dough is very very temptacious (tempting + delicious). It’s basically a piece of very thin (no more than 1cm) of dough that is deep fried in boiling oil and then topped with butter and sprinkled with sugary sweets…then served HOT.

Now after this short description of what a Beavertail is…why not try one?

Still not convinced? How’s this:

It’s been ONE month!

Well…see…it’s one month since I have abandoned my blog. And you would wonder what I’ve been in one month. Aside from the crazy midterms, assignments, moving, networking, papering, and projects…I’ve also been highly invovled with two networking sites: “Twitter.com” and “LinkedIn.com“.

It’s actually pretty neat doing something that I normally wouldn’t find myself doing. The normal me would concentrate on one thing at a time cause I believe in quality rather than quantity. So, multi-tasking…mm…not that I don’t like doing it. But, I don’t see why one would spend a small session of time working on a partial thing. Whereas, one could be concentrating on one BIG thing and making it BIG!

So, for the last month…I’ve been doing exactly not that! And I see the other side of the picture…there’s actually benefits on the other side. You get more time, you get to interact with different peeps, you get a broader view of what’s around you. Sometimes we’re so consumed at what we’re doing that we forget there’s actually people and other interesting things around us.

TIP OF THE MONTH: “Work at it with all you got! But, don’t forget to take your head out of the water for a breath! You’ll see much more!!!” – Robin
