Soup season is over, homes.
Landlady Chang: What're you making?
Moi: Tuna croquettes.
Landlady Chang: For yourself?
Moi: Yup.
Landlady Chang: You're crazy.
I'm not crazy. I'm evasive. And my responsibilities are many. Croquettes aren't traditionally Taiwanese, but the Japanese seem to love them (though not so much in American Japanese restaurants) and Japanese and Taiwanese cuisine have a symbiotic relationship, much like Tex-Mex in the States. But with less bastardization. Of course, croquettes are everywhere, and in Lisboa, I had a field day pointing to and trying out random croquettes. With all this in mind, and a little inspiration from Alton, I set forth to make my own for lunch. If I flunk out of school, I just may have found my calling.
