Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

I made this dish after reading my sister’s cooking/food blog.   I think folks who read my blog now knows who my sister is :)  Yeah, she is super nice, put up all these simple dishes on her blog to make me cook!  It worked, so her hard work paid off.

Below is my version of the Kerabu Timun, and this is hers.  Hers look so much better.  The cucumber I got from my coworker who brought them in from her garden.  They are China hybrid cucumbers, and those cucumber looked really weird.  I called it cucumber from the Alien Nation.

Anyways, I put too much chilie padi on mine and after a few bites, looked for something sweet, waited till the fire subsided and went for it again.  I used the chilie belachan my sister sent me.  That chilie was good.  DB took a few forkfulls and sweat was breaking out.  Haih….. but the thing is he said it taste good.  “What did you put in there?  I thought you were going to make it with some stinky stuff?”  Hahahaha, I told him I did use the stinky stuff and even put in dried shrimp.  He was still wondering why he didn’t smell it when I made it…. COZ I DIDN’T FRY THE STINKY STUFF IN THE PAN, BABE!!

With all these rain, every one at work said they had enough.  “Bring the hot, sunny summer days back.”  “No more rain.”  That’s what they said.  I’m so sick of them complaining about the weather.  When the state was in a draught, they complain because of global warming.  Rain was scattered across the state, the Cities, zippo.

“No rain, my yard is so dry and my poor flowers.”

“We need the rain really bad.” 

“The weather for the past couple years has been crazy.  No rain and not much snow.”

For me, I want the rain because its free watering for the yard and flowers.  The rain cools off the hot 80s and 90s that we had for so many months with no relieve.  

Now that the sky opened up, I welcomed the rain.  Makes me lazier and not want to do anything, but I deserve those days!!

I have never received so many offers from these credit card companies.  All of these companies offer 0% on balance transfers, some with a couple or 0% on purchases, or some with 16.8% APR and some higher. 

Between DB and I we have couple credit card that are secured and unsecured.  If we want to apply for a credit card we might try MINT Credit Cards.  They are offering 0% on balance transfers until October 1, 2008 with a 2.5% balance transfer fee, and the APR is quite low, too, 14.9%.  I have to say that is a good rate and with a high credit limit, that’s awsome deal.  Besides, the company also offers these fine incentives like 0% on purchases until March 1, 2008, 0% bonus offer till June 1, 2009 on balances transferred during December 2008, free online account management with the capability of downloading your statments and email or text alerts, no annual fee,  and global recognition wherever you see the Mastercard logo. 

Credit cards, they are so convenient.
