Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

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 Rojak sauce

 I told DB he will be having some kind of noodles this weekend.  Most probably prawn noodles!  I can’t wait to try out all of them.  DB looked at the ikan bilis and asked what it is.  Well, it’s anchovies, dear.  One thing he does not like is anchovies.  I must find a way to make the ikan billis not stinky so that he will eat them! :D

Nadine and I went window shopping last night for her kitchen.  Her hubby wants to update the kitchen appliances and in addition, replace the kitchen faucets and sinks if possible.  The current sink is made of porcelain which is what we have.  I can’t blame him for wanting to replace it.  Porcelain sinks stains very easily and it is a pain in the neck to remove those stains.  Nadine’s ideal kitchen is all appliances made out of stainless steel, so obviously same goes with all faucets and sinks. 

My boss and I went to Jenny’s house warming on Friday evening.  It was a very nice home, a three-bedroom, 1.5 bath townhome in Roseville.  Our other coworkers shared a house warming gift for her and hubby.  Jenny told us she and her hubby converted the basement to an exercise room.  She bought a Nordiac elliptical several years ago and her hubby has all the weights that I think matches those you find in a regular gym.  What else is missing from the exercise room is a threadmill.  She said they were looking at  treadmills even before they moved to their new home.  Well, we the 15 coworkers, have decided that this threadmill will be the right one for your home gym, Jenny.

It would be nice if we can go for a vacation to the east coast.  For some reason, I always want to visit the east coast more than the west coast, but it might change once I visited both places.  I was telling my friend at the restaurant we should make arrangements with Hilton Head rental for a place for both our families for a little vacation.  A place where we can just lounge and not do anything.  Just soak in the breeze, swim, grill out, and walk along the beaches, or we can utilize the villa’s tennis courts for a game of tennis.  Ahh, I guess I can still dream for a while!

My coworker and I were talking about what other legal steroids are out there that athletes can use to enhance their performance.  The conversation started with Roger Clemens and the other athletes who were busted for illegally using steroids to better their performance in sports.   My coworker told me her brother uses steroids during his body building days which obviously beefed up his build and he has more energy.  Then there are those steroids one can take for allergies which are legal but some folks have bad side effects while taking them.  As much as I’m curious about the side effects, I sure hope I don’t have to take them.
