Baklava

Grammie was in today for babysitting, so my spouse brought me to a little restaurant in town call Little Lebanon to see if they have one of my favourite dessert – Baklava. Upon reaching the restaurant, the menu was pasted outside one of the windows. I was excited to see that they do have the dessert. So we went in and order take-out, 2 pieces of Baklava at $1.50 each + taxes.
When i saw the Baklava .. i wasn’t too excited.. hahaha!! wasn’t really what i was expecting i guess. I mean look at the ones that Reid from Ono Kine Grindz had posted on his blog. Anyhow, i waited for my brat to sleep and i tried the Baklava. Guess what..??!!!??? it was heavenly..!! yummy, yummy..!! i can’t believe it tasted so good despite the presentation. Definitely better than the Tiramisu i had a few months ago from another restaurant.
So yes.. i will definitely go back for more.. and would try a meal soon. Yay!!

Online Relationships

A older customer was in yesterday late afternoon just to ask me about online relationship. I guess he did know that i met my brat’s daddy online. Hahhahaha!!
Now what ppl do not know is, my online relationship went on for a good 6 yrs before we met up. Ours didn’t just happen like in a lightning flash, nor was it puppy love or jumping into bed kinda relationship.
Anyhow, i gave whatever i know to our customer and cross my fingers for him for not all online relationship will work out. Plus it is a very huge gamble too, since either one needs to fly to a foreign country .. to meet up. But anyone wanting an online relationship needs to know that … even when you do meet and decide to stay together.. it is still an uphill task. For the cultural differences, the being so far away from your family and friends .. and of course.. the food, can create a huge sense of discontentment in some after some time, or when the dazzle begin to fizzle.
So yes… in any relationship .. it will work.. if you work at it.
I have to admit that my spouse is most tolerance to my nonsense, for i can be really strange at times. If not for that tolerance.. i doubt we would be still together.
So for those who wants to go into an online relationship.. be prepared to get a crazy partner like I, be ready for someone who is very opiniated like I, be also willing to shower alot of love to your partner for he or she is so far away from home and loneliness can bring out the strangest emotions in a person .. be it a man or woman.
Bottom line is : Go into the online relationship with your eyes and ears open. And money should never be an issue in your relationship, meaning NEVER send money to your online partner. Well, unless you have been together online for at least 6 yrs.

    Property Tax

    We just received a letter from the bank informing us that our property tax will go up by $190.00/month..!! What a bummer..!!!
    Can you imagine.. paying 3K a year for such a small house..????!!!!?? Especially since everything has been really slow for the whole town this year.
    I also hear that the power prices are going up!! and gas prices has been going crazy too of late..!!
    I’m guessing that the government just donch want us to do good at all..!!!

    Exchange Student

    Met a new exchange student from Hong Kong today. And the poor boy is visibly missing home ALOT..!! and i donch blame him at all.
    He had mentioned that he misses rice, so i’m gonna cook some for him when i have the time and deliver it to him. I mean that’s the least i can do for a fellow-asian right..??
    My heart goes out to these exchange student.. because i think they were led to believe that this is a city instead of a small town. Poor thing..!!
