My relatives once commented on why I don't go to Disney. My answer is I tried and I failed. They told me that an immigrant to Canada was a mistake and a big failure.
I didn't do well. From my parents perspective, art isn't a career to support a life. It isn't something to feel proud of as a profession as an immigrant family already sacrificed so much.
My father was doing a labor job and delivery newspaper to support a single family household while I was always struggling to fit in when I was at college.
A lot of Asian families I know in Canada, most parents sacrifice their white collar jobs in their country and have to do blue collar jobs in order to get by or support their child to get education and wish they have a better life.
I am a loser from both Asian group or Canadian groups. So, I am tired of this.
I met Asian people born here, some still speaking the mother language , but some don't. Now, I am trying to make peace with my identity and embrace that I don't feel I belong anywhere. Also, I really don't enjoy when Asian people tell me to stop being Asian or tell me to stop speaking English.
Throughout my adolescence in Canada, I often wish I was born in Canada so I don't need to face this situation all the time.
The problem is even I have lived in Canada for so long, people often comment on me as I should stop being Asian and become more Canadian,and the funny part is most of the comments came from Asian people I met. I don't understand what I can do. I went back to Taiwan, people think I am not Taiwanese.
Just let everyone know that my first language is chinese Mandarin and I have been an immigrant from Canada since 2007. If you assume I am not Canadian or Taiwanese I am ok. Because I had this bullshit identity crisis enough.
Where do you see myself in 5 years?
Simple sushi rolls. The key is to use sushi rice because it is short rice so it is easy to stick together without falling apart. I use half sushi rice and half jasmine rice for a friendly budget. The ingredients could be anything cheap and healthy. Not difficult to see why sushi is so popular.
Making wontons for the first time. The healthy version without any ground pork, replaces with affordable and healthy ingredients like carrots and mushrooms. Recreating the wontons soup I had in childhood back in Taiwan with my grandma, but the one I make is barely as good as I had from Taiwan.
Asian pear with dried Logan, red dates and goji berries. I just started to have some Chinese herbal medicine that my family gave me. It has great natural sweetness. It also has multiple benefits for good health. ๐ต

Grocery shopping lists, I love my gigantic fresh lemons from Farm boy. On sale 3 for $2. Lemons are imported from Mexico and the US. I don't know how the lemons could grow so big, I assume they are genetically modified lemons.

My cat decided that the way to show her affection is to sit her butt directly on my hand while I am using a mouse. She usually bites my hand for no reason. Now I got the treats bag beside me to get a better deal with her butt treatment.

Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.
First time trying out making taro pastry. It's actually not as complicated as I thought, it just takes time. I used leftovers taro and leftovers cake flour, bread flour and vegan unsalted butter. The matcha powder to make it green instead of purple. When I feel depressed, making pastry help.

First time trying out to make Taiwanese oyster omelette. I used $4.99 mussels as a substitute for oysters. $1.99 lettuce, $1.25 tomato paste. It doesn't taste as authentic since I only used what is on sale and available, but still happy with results. Mussels could be a great source of protein.
