About Me

Hello, welcome to my blog!

My partner and I like to find new things to eat, drink, and make. We are from the east coast of the USA and like to travel to find new foods. We tend to stay in the USA but we have also gone to Hong Kong together.

As the name of this blog implies, I am a bit of a math nerd. I am by no means an expert, I don't even have a math degree, but I find joy in learning and practicing math concepts.

When I was in 香港 / Hong Kong, I had some of what has become one of my favorite styles of fried chicken, 大雞排（大鸡排）XXL Fried Chicken from 豪大 / Hot Star.

After coming back to the USA, my partner and I missed the chicken that we had and decided to make some for ourselves. The batter is made with tapioca and potato flour and is thus gluten-free. The spice on the chicken is a mixture of椒鹽（椒盐）/ spiced salt, paprika, 花椒粉 / Chinese "prickly ash,"五香粉 / chinese five-spice, and capsaicin powder.

This picture is from one of the most recent times that we made it at home, using chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.

The recipe we originally followed can be found here (this is not our site), but we tend to mess around with recipes we like and make food by sight and taste.
