That’s my new favorite veggie. Greens are good for us, right? Well, I for one have not been eating my veggies especially these leafy ones. My all time fav was broccoli. My friend eats kale all the time and says the veggie tastes so good. Finally I grabbed one bundle at Tar-jay for 99 cents. [...]
It’s nice to have 3 days off this week because of Labor Day. I will be going for the Minnesota Get Together aka The Minnesota State Fair with S on Saturday morning. We have discounted tickets sold at my workplace ($9/ticket, regular ticket price is $12). I’m only looking forward to the fair food and [...]
The long weekend (3 days off) came and gone. Labor day was on Monday, Sept 7, it was also the last day of Minnesota State Fair. I didn’t go this year. Aafter Labor day, it sure seems like falls creeps right in right away. Leaves on the trees and shrubs are already turning colors. Beautiful [...]
….so I’m back at work today. It was nice to have the week off, no rush, took my sweet time to work around the house, went out for more walks than usual and had a Saw marathon. I have seen the first Saw but not the rest 2-4. I borrowed the DVDs from SD. Man, [...]
Yep, I went to the Minnesota State Fair on Friday, August 30th with Simmie. She drove to the bus terminal on Hwy 13 and I met her there in the evening. I bought the fair ticket from the convenience store at work at a discounted price fo $8 for each ticket. The price per ticket [...]
Happy Memorial day to all whatever that’s left of the day. It was a three-day weekend for me and it sure didn’t seem like three days. The days went by so fast. Yesterday, Sunday, several tornados hit the Midwest. There was one fatal touched down in Hugo, MN, which is about 55 miles north of [...]
I was reading Cat’s and Gertrude’s blogs and see how much they like the products they bought from MyTasteofAsia. I, too, ordered some items and within a week, they arrived this afternoon. Delimas Prawn Noodle paste; Rasaku Nasi Lemak Mix; Delimas Curry Laksa Paste; ChanHong Sambal Ikan Bilis; Delimas Crispy Prawn Chili; and Cheong Kim Chuan Sambal [...]
Again, Saturday I went to Cub Foods for my usual groceries. I saw a good deal on a pack of whole chicken. Right of I thought of making a pot of soup. Simmie gave a few packets of ginseng; my mom gave me a bag of wolfberries (kei chi). Part of the ingredients are at [...]
Our weekend started with cravings for curry noodles on Friday. I went to Satay2Go for to go dinner of Singapore laksa, fried meehoon, kuey teow, and siew paus. That fixed our cravings for Friday. Saturday afternoon these two parcels came. They contained the items we bought from our Ipoh trip in November. It took 3 months [...]
DB has been asking me if I know how to make steamed rice cake? In Cantonese it’s called “Fatt Koh”. He tried them at my parents’ home, I think on one of those 15th day of the month on the Chinese calendar. Since he was pestering me about it, I hopped online and found this [...]
That’s it, it is this muruku snacky thing that I cannot go without every day. What’s written on the package “The snack with the crunch & the punch”. Damn straight it is. I brought these packets of muruku, courtesy of my sis, all the way from Ipoh; actually it should be from Singapore/Ipoh/KL/US. They are [...]
We have been eating the entire weekend. Corrine gave me some siew paus, curry puffs, doggie buns, and char siew paus on Thursday and Friday. Those are DB and my favorites. And what I did on Saturday since I didn’t have to work, I made that lemon sour cream cake again. The result, still not [...]
It’s Christmas eve, the weather: clear blue sky, little wind but it can be deceiving; it’s actually 5F degrees out and the windchill is -10F degrees. No more snow. The snow storm we had yesterday has nove moved to Michigan, they can have it, too, so they could enjoy a white Christmas. I wanted to go [...]
OK, Db cooked the first batch of char siew couple of weeks ago. Between the both of us, we finished it on yesterday. He told me to marinate the other tenderloin on Saturday. So I did but he didn’t get to cook it on Sunday. I baked it last evening in the oven, and broiled [...]
I asked DB what he wanted to have for dinner, instead he answered me with a question, “What do you feel like having?” Arghhhh!!! Since he didn’t give me any suggestions, I opened the pantry and saw the bag of noodles. Thawed out some chicken, soaked the beehoon (rice vermicelli) noodles and dry shroomies. Prepping [...]
