Rainbow Delight for Dessert

Isn't it funny how a few simple drops of food coloring (cheap and fun at under $3 per pack) can elicit such smiles, gasps, and oohs?  It's fun no matter what with frosting or syrup.

Serve a rainbow colored cake at your party for a dessert your guests really won't forget (and elicits fun pictures!)  Now I must find food coloring! 

Fresh fruit is of course a healthy and natural way to add color in desserts.  I'm currently searching for popsicle molds so I can make this!

CnC Living Travel Log: Kisses for Free Japanese BBQ and beer in Taipei

I can't believe I forgot to post about one of the most interesting restaurants in Taipei (ok Modern Toilet restaurant wins for being most interesting/out there if you're into sitting on toilet seats and eating ice cream shaped like, well you can guess).  I always try to visit a branch of  Kan Pai Yakiniku, a Japanese bbq restaurant, when I'm in Taiwan.  The food - a variety of grilled meats/vegetables (grilled at your table), rice dishes, and some seafood are also consistently tasty and pretty affordable (you can have dinner and drinks for about $20).

But this is also one of the most fun restaurants I've been to because they have a promotion before 8:30 pm (or when the waiters get bored because we received the promotion at 9:30/10 pm): kiss someone at the table, let the restaurant take a picture, and get a free plate of bbq beef or a pint of beer.  There were a variety of people kissing of both sexes - the funniest we saw was two guys kissing with a napkin between them.  Not really a work kinda restaurant, but so fun with friends.

Here is the evidence on the restaurant walls:

 

So the waiter offered to take our picture towards the end of our meal.  The Mr. and I willingly obliged so he could get his free beer.  We smooched our winnings.  

 

Is free beer/grilled meat worth infamy on a random restaurant wall?  We thought why not (and if you never visit again, doesn't matter who will see you kissing right?)
