Home made Hot Pot

Photobucket

Looks like hot pot right..?? or steamboat..??? Can be both actually.. for you all know that if i wanted to eat anything remotely close to home.. i would have to cook them myself… and try and improvised. Here I put together .. some beef balls.. and enoki mushrooms.. that i had gotten from Halifax.. because they are way cheaper at the Asian grocery store than at Sobeys. And i used the thai hot and sour soup paste .. and mixed them together.. and then add in some bee hoon.. and there i’ll have some spicy noodles. Not bad eh..??

Heartwarming

I’ve always worried.. that should anything happened to me.. because of my poor health, what is gonna happen to the brat. But yesterday.. in the evening.. when the brat was stomping her feet. .and demanding something from me, her Papa came out from the computer room.. and discipline her on the spot.

While all this took time to soak in.. i am also aware.. that this would mean the brat of mine.. is never gonna grow up to be a “real” brat .. like some kids we see in our store. For Papa will set her straight.. and not let her go astray. Does your hubby step in when the kid is throwing tantrums..?? or leave it to you ..??

Our Basement

When we first bought this house of ours, our main intention was to leave the upstairs to me.. while the downstairs is to be turned and renovated into a recreation room for the man. Given that we spend so much time together.. since we own our own business, it was a very good idea then. To complete that recreation room, some home theater chairs is a definite must to go with our 52″ TV .. that we already owned. So it’s time to do some serious savings now.

Jittery & Queasy

Tomorrow at 6.45am is the big day for the brat, she is gonna get her teeth fixed. But because she is so young, they have to put her to sleep.. before they can do it. We already went thru’ the scenario about what we needed to do at the hospital.. but i know.. when the time comes tomorrow.. she wouldn’t go with the nurse. We are not allow to follow her till they put her to sleep, so i am dreading it big time.

It’s just that we never had to fix our teeth so young and seriously we donch give the brat alot of candies either.. so i donch know how she has gotten so many decay teeth. Oh well.. !

The British Butcher

Sorry the picture is so dark. But this was taken during our trip to Halifax.. and the British Butcher is actually Pete’s Frootique, famous in the Maritimes. I love going there..when i am up in the city. They even have durian there..!!! not dodoh . .but the real deal. I buy the Jelly Tots. .that you can’t get from anywheres around Y-Town.. so i stock up.. when i go to the city.

Orange Lobster

Photobucket

Thought I would show everyone an orange lobster.. before it is being cooked.. since the blue lobster fascinated some.. 🙂 Usually lobster is dirty dark brown in color before they are being cooked.. and they turn orangey-red .. when they are cooked.. but this one is alive… when we saw it with that blue lobster. If anyone wants a close up ..on the blue lobster.. let me know.

Credit Card Search Engine

There are plenty of credit cards out there to be offered to potential customers, but as I grew older, I guess i also grew wiser in choosing the ones I want to keep. With gas prices fluctuating daily, one cannot help but think of the possibility of owning Gasoline Credit Cards instead of others would be a wise move.

So if you are applying for a new credit card, don’t forget to compare first, then decide and apply online. Doing a little research can save you alot of money in years to come. Of course being responsible is also a must when one applies for a credit card.

Blue Lobster

Saw this blue lobster at our local grocery store – Sobeys. Pretty unique eh..?? We donch get to see blue lobsters often.. but once in a while.. they do get caught.. and get sold in the local grocery store. I wonder what they taste like eh..?

Reading Is A Luxury

Yes.. reading is a luxury these days. With the store.. and looking after a toddler.. sure doesn’t leave you alot of time. Plus this brat of mine.. she only eats home-cooked food.. and not otherwise.. but even though i don’t have time for reading, i still buy alot of books, especially if they are on sale for about 50% less than what i can get at the retail store. I love the savings.. and i’m sure i’ll get to read it one fine day.

Holy Moly..!!
