There are awesome ppl here in Yarmouth .. although we have had our fair shares of not so good ones too. But today .. we received a huge box of goodies that the brat loves so much . . and we are forever grateful to our customer for bringing it back for us from Halifax. Can you guessed what we had..?? You can’t imagine what this simple food can do to someone who misses home so much.. and so very deprived of food from home. Check it out here.
My First Tim’s Coffee
My first Tim Hortons coffee after 3.5 weeks. Ahhhh..!!! bliss..!! I had my first surgery to remove my fibroids.. and had a hysterectomy in the meantime. But a week after surgery.. i had to go into the hospital again.. for an emergency laparoscopic surgery. Now the second surgery was more a shocking one.. because we didn’t know what was happening and threw my recovery time backwards instead of forward.. which by the way . .. i resent deeply.
Anyhow.. i hope this is all behind me now.. and i’m aiming to bring my weight down to 59kg.. !! wish me luck.. eh..! I haven’t started journaling my operation yet.. but i will as soon as i feel better. All of you should watch out for it.. because i have very graphic pictures.. and only one person had seen it so far. Check with Barb.. how gross it is.. if you want. When i am done writing my experience.. i’ll let you know where my health blog is. But you can also visit my food blog in the meantime.. and drop a comment.. 🙂 Ice Cube Junkie
White Chick Cooking With Chopsticks
Ever seen a white chick cooking with a pair of chopsticks..??? i bet not too many people has..eh..? Well.. here she is.. !!! super duper.. 100% white chick.. with chopsticks. If you are wondering who she is.. she is Keegan.. my brat’s babysitter. Yes .. she can maneuver the chopsticks pretty well eh. She was actually playing with the brat.. about hair .. i think.. when i asked her to come help me.. with the stirring.. so that i can washed the dishes. Pretty cool eh..??
Substitutes
I’m sure by now .. all of you know that the brat is hard to feed. And like any good mummies.. i too worry sick.. because of her no intake of meat. If she can.. she would try all sorts of nonsense just not to eat that meat.. that she had already been chewing in her mouth. Lucky for us, she developed a liking for tofu, yogurt and milk. With these substitutes i think it is ok.. that she doesn’t like meat that much. What do you give your kids.. when they don’t want to eat certain food..??
Birthday Pie
While others have birthday cakes for their birthday.. my mother-in-law baked me a coconut cream pie instead, plus got candles some more ok..! They even sang me a birthday song. My birthday.. was like a week ago.. but they still remembered.. and did something special for me. Thank you .. Mum..! yer the best..!
O Premium Waters
We never drink tap water here for fear of the chlorine level being too high although my father-in-law swears by his well water. We get bottled water from the grocery store but you know how tedious it can get at times, especially when the weather is bad and like i said before, winter can last for a good 6 months.
With o premium waters whether you are ordering for your business or for your home, they not only deliver for free, they also let you use their cooler at no cost to you. They also guarantees that their water is purer than anything or any company offers else, they give you 6 months of free service. And look forward to their entire new line of water softeners for your home or business as well a reverse osmosis systems.
The Man Eats Afterall
I usually have to scream at PB .. to eat his meals.. but recently instead of just my walnut and raisin bread.. i switched and bought croissants instead .. and the man does like this.. and eat this up for breakfast.. and sometimes.. as dinner. So he does eat afterall.. and the decision to change bread is a good one.
Home made Hot Pot
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..??
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.
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..?
