For those who asked a look at those sugary peas from Grampie’s garden. This is how they look like. They can be eaten.. raw.. and it’s really, really sweet..!
Peas at my FILs
Went to visit my in-laws today… and was really looking forward to eating tons of peas. My FIL had some.. not too many because it was raining out today.. and PB said.. you cannot pick the peas.. if it is raining.. because then it won’t grow again.
But i have to tell you all.. that eating those peas from my FIL’s garden.. is so sweet.. is like eating candies. My FIL gave some for chloe to bring home to munch on.. and you know what.. i’m so tempted to steal them.. and eat it all. But i can’t .. because i know my FIL got them especially for his precious brat.
I can’t wait to eat more .. this year. .the crop really seems really sweet. No wonder ppl are already coming by my FIL’s house.. to see if there is any for sale yet.
Pizza & Cinnamom Strips
Been a long time since i’ve had Greco’s pizza or cinnamon strips.. especially Pizza. On Thursday.. amidst the rain and all.. i made PB .. go pick up my pizza .. and cinnamon strips. and a good thing that i ordered it.. because by the time he got home with it.. i was starving.. and there wasn’t much that i can cooked .. or wanna cooked.
I ordered a personal pizza with bacon, mushroom, pepperoni and pineapple. It wasn’t bad.. but not the best i’ve had. But after not having it for so long.. i guess it was alright. The Cinni strips.. were as sweet as i can remember them to be. I finished 3 pieces of pizza and left one for PB .. but this morning.. i saw that he didn’t eat it..! what a waste..!! and i could have put it in the fridge.. !! oh well..!! his money..!! the cinni strips are all gone though..!
The last time i had Greco was when we moved to our present house .. more than 2 yrs ago. Honestly, the taste is still the same… and what a coincidence, coz’ a customer was in the store today.. and asked me.. “how was your pizza last nite..??” I guess this town is pretty small eh..??
“Malu” about the Food I EaT
You all know that i love visiting Food Blogs right..?? I can’t seems to get enough of it at times.. and food blogs have kept me company .. when i was craving so badly for food.. when i was having Chloe.
But hor.. when i see those pictures from food blogs like Boolicious.. Precious Pea, Masak, Masak, Jackson, MeiYen .. and alot more food bloggers… I so the malu lah..to show ppl the food i eat here.
Today i ordered food from the new chinese restaurant. Sure by far, it’s the best we’ve eaten.. but when i look at the pictures from Precious Pea tonite..!! i so the malu.. to show off my food..! coz’ it’s certainly nothing .. like those you get back home.. and the presentation here..?? no presentation..!! And not only that.. we pay alot more .. just for sweet and sour pork.. and a plate of vegies.. with some rice. A bowl of rice is at $1.75 .. !!!! crazy eh..?? Not like the rice is laced with lobster sauce or something.. just plain rice..! can die or not..?? $1.75 is equivalent to Malaysian Ringgit $5.00. So you tell me lah.. daylight robbery or not..??
Chinese Food That Never Came (Part 1)
This actually happened more than a week ago, but i didn’t wanna write about it then.. because obviously i wasn’t pleased at all when it happened.
2 weeks ago.. on a Friday.. the usual day .. that was my free day at the store.. since i had Keegan to babysit… i ordered chinese food with dear Mr Choo from the new restaurant at 5.30pm, since i was already getting hungry. At 5.45pm, the girl at the restaurant .. called to say.. that she didn’t know what i had ordered “beef hor fun” .. so she wanted me to speak directly to Mr Choo, which i did. Being a Friday and all.. i can understand that he was very busy.. so when he said.. food would be ready at 6.15pm.. i readily agreed.
6.15pm came and went.. i sent PB to collect the food at the chinese restaurant.. which was about 5 mins walk from our store. PB came back.. without the food.. citing that Mr Choo had waved him off.. saying “busy, busy now..!!”

Liver
Can someone tell me if taking liver really helps in replenishing blood..?? or is it just the iron in it.. the is benefiting me recently..??
Reason for this question is .. because this month my menses didn’t have alot of clots.. nor did it last very long. And i’ve been eating liver quite regularly these days. like once every week or once every 2 weeks.. with lots of ginger. I think i eat more liver now .. than i did .. when i just had chloe.. which i think would have been really good. But then .. there were no pork liver in sight then and just having a c-section.. i can’t possibly stand there and cut and cook and then washed .. so i didn’t have it. Sad huh..??
Daily Dilemma
Everyday .. PB and I have the same dilemma ..! Everyday during lunch time.. we don’t know what to eat. In the end.. we usually eat at about 4pm.. for lunch.. and ends up eating horrid food.. or just food.. that we donch like eating at all.
The new chinese restaurant is good.. but how much chinese food .. can you eat right..?? plus it is not cheap either. A dish of mapo tofu.. is at 12.95 + tax.. and we all know that tofu is cheap.. and so is meat.. and certainly isn’t worth paying 12.95 when you can do it yourself.. for less than 5 bucks. So i always end up having a bowl of soup.. and that’s it. Really donch know what to eat anymore.
Oh.. i do cook for chloe.. but sometimes.. i rather freezed up the food.. for her.. then to eat them myself.. so she gets wholesome food.
Beef Combo
PB & I had this a few days ago. We ordered another wanton soup .. so that i can have more food.. to go with my lunch. Lunch is usually late for us.. at about 4pm. The chicken balls.. i didn’t touched.. but i had the rice with broccoli. The beef and broccoli was so-so.. nothing to shout about to be honest.
Nasi Lemak Canadian Style
I tried cooking nasi lemak today.. !! The nasi lemak package that i bought from Halifax was nothing but a pack of coconut powder.. !! nothing extraordinary about it. Asian Gourmet is the name of the brand. The rice was alright.. but i think i needed to wash out the salt from the dried anchovies.. because it was very salty. .hahahhaha!!
First Whole Donut
Everyone knows.. that besides not wanting to sleep.. the brat doesn’t wanna eat.. nor try any new food.. right..?? Well.. just a few days ago.. she wanted me to get her a donut .. when we were at Tim’s. This mummy was very surprised.. because she never ate donuts before.. but just to humour her.. i bought her one. And guess what..?? she really ate it..!!!!!!
