And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
Cont’d from Part II
Yes.. we are very considerate.. ! After taking pictures of the food tasting .. we came back immediately .. so that Keegan can go try some food too.. and join in the fun a wee bit.. even though she is supposed to be babysitting.. 🙂
One gotta wonder.. how ppl can eat pizza here ..on a daily basis..?? I see lots of ppl walking to the pizza joint next to our store.. and get a piece of pizza everyday..! How does one eat PIZZA everyday..?? Well .. of course.. the size shows too.. when one eats pizza so regularly like some of the ppl do here.
Firstly, I swear i would kill myself.. if i turned out the size of some of these ppl here.. who even though the size they are.. still wanna eat pizza.. on an everyday basis. And secondly.. if i had to eat pizza everyday.. !! please kill me too..!!
You should really see the size of some of the ppl here.. oh boy..!! the huge bums they have.. and some got stomach dropping on the floor..!! I kid you NOT..!
PB doesn’t say very much to be honest. And he doesn’t complain alot either.. about my housekeeping or my cooking. Usually he is very smart.. he wouldn’t say a thing.
But the recent trip up to Halifax.. i can see that PB is actually very “kancheong” about what the brat eats. We donch usually give the brat frozen or can food… but when i suggested that we do.. when we were planning our trip to Halifax.. PB didn’t say much.
The nite before the trip.. he made hamburger helper with pasta and packed it away for the brat’s trip. He then said.. that this was definitely healthier.. than frozen food. Unfortunately, PB failed to remember.. that if the food is not kept cool.. and we bring it around .. with us.. for hours.. it might be contaminated. But seeing that he cooked it.. i didn’t really say too much. But the next trip to Halifax.. I’ll make sure.. we bring our electric cooler along.
This is a potato patch at my MIL’s garden.
These are the peas.. that were growing at my MIL’s place. I didn’t think of taking pictures.. but my MIL reminded me to get the camera.. so i can show my blogger friends.. what the peas look like.. while they are growing.. 😉 My MIL rocks.. right..??!!??
My MIL is too cool.. i tell ya..!! she asked me .. if i wanted to get the camera out.. to take pictures of the peas.. for my blog.. because the peas were in full-grown this weekend..!! So that i can show my blogger friends.. from home.. what they looked like.. and how they are grown.. 😉 Cool MIL eh..??
I’m so happy for my in-laws.. ! this year.. the peas are growing good.. and the first batch was so sweet and sugary.. and they picked a fair amount of peas to sell to this year.
My FIL just told me this morning.. that they are charging like 3.50/Ibs this year.. all time high. I hope the weather.. and the crops continue to do good.. because last year sux big time..!
And if anyone deserve a good year.. it certainly has to be my in-laws.. ! they worked so hard.. and got cheated of so much money last year.. by some good-for-nothing fella..!! I hope .. that fella rot in hell.. get sun burn everytime he walks outta the house, the house he is in.. falls down on his stupid head, his asshole burn everytime he takes a dump.. everytime he eats .. he gets choked.. everytime he showers.. his hair drops.. his g/f leaves him.. and he can’t find a job, when he drinks water.. he gets drown.
Please add on whatever curses you can think of.. ya.. 😉
Every day.. at the store.. PB would ask me.. "what do you want to eat" .. if i didn’t make extra food from home.. to bring to work. And everyday.. my reply would be the same.. "Arrrgghhh..!! donch even ask me.. that anymore..!!"
Sometimes.. i just end up ordering a bowl of soup. But if you asked me.. what kinda soup i want.. i’ll pick our wanton soup anytime.. at about the same prices as any "ang moh" soup you can find here. Because "ang moh" soup not filling leh..!! At least wanton soup.. got like 4 big wantons.. got meat inside..and some char siew.. and bits of cabbage. Sure it’s not great.. but if i wanna drink soup.. i’ll take the wanton soup anytime. How i wished there are some herbal soups to be bought here for 5 bucks a pop.. !! like we have back home… but no such luck.. !! Bak Kut Teh .. that i make at home.. is the closest herbal soup.. i get around here.. hahhahahahaha!!
NOT FUNNY AT ALL..!!
PS : Guess what i had for lunch..??
A month or so ago, I was approached by some Seafest organizer to participate in a ethnic food tasting for the Seafest for this year. Of course, I happily agreed thinking what a nice way to introduce Seafood Thai Pineapple Fried Rice or Fried Udon to the people here. I was all geared up to cook a store.. for at least 100 people who will be tasting my food. But knowing that when it comes to free food, one has gotta prepare more… because I’m sure there will be more people who will be attending seafest.
Little did i know.. that when i agreed to participate in this community service.. i can’t cook in my own kitchen.. and ingredients and other stuff are not provided either. Meaning.. i have to pay for the food .. from my own pocket..?? And cooking at the YMCA kitchen.. is sure inconvenient for me..!! how am i going to marinate.. and cook in a kitchen i am not familiar with..?? what about the pot and pans .. that i have to use..?? chopsticks.. and stuff..?? If i used my own.. is it against the hygiene regulations..??
I would have gladly cooked .. if they would provide the ingredients.. or if i can cook in my own kitchen… but with so much red tape.. i told the lady from the Agriculture department.. that i won’t be able to do it. I really do wanna do the community service.. but truth be told.. i doubt ppl here would appreciate. So i’m not gonna waste my time.. and a few hundred bucks to come up with 100 samples.
For those who is wondering.. why i can’t cook local food.. from where i am.. since Canada.. has got so many immigrants .. from all over asia.. i have to clarify .. and let you know.. that i’m in this very small town.. and we do not have anything remotely asian to buy.. except oyster sauce.. and some supplements.
This town is so small.. it only has a population of 8000 ppl. Like i donch have kway teow here.. or belachan.. or alot of things lah..! so if you hear me complaining hor.. just ignore me.. ok.. !! hahahhahaha!!
I hate to be a B.I.T.C.H about it.. but sometimes.. it’s hard .. when the craving starts.. and i’m missing home… and all the comforts of a mamak store.. within 2 mins of walking distance.
