And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
This is for Stella, from Sweet Temptations..! i just wanted to show her.. that we do have this as well here.. but only in can form.. not like the fresh ones she gets.. 😉 Stella had written a post about how she made some dishes with it. Check it out here.
It’s funny how.. one can remember .. what another wrote.. and go all excited.. when i see something similar.
It is very important as a mummy… that we all find the healthiest snacks for our little munchkins. Tell me which mummy wouldn’t buy the most healthiest of anything to go into the lil’ munchkin’s tummy. As for PB and I .. we also try to give the brat .. only healthy stuff. We cultivate this in her.. and she is really smart.. and whenever she wants to buy something from the grocery store.. she would not ask.. “can i buy this?” but “is this a healthy snack..?” Children are a creature of habit.. and must be trained young.. that way.. they know what is good for their body.. and what isn’t. But that doesn’t mean.. that you cannot give them chocolates.. and candies. Like i’ve always said.. everything in moderation.
Yes.. to those around here.. they are exotic fruits. Bring it up to the cashier..and if you did not have those code stickers on it.. they wouldn’t know what this is called. And i’m so not kidding either. And it’s freaking expensive .. at $1.99 about $6 ringgits. Yup.. $6 ringgits for a mango.. it had better be good eh..??
This has gotta be the worst food i’ve tasted here. The lasagne was ordered at The Colony restaurant.. and it was awful..!! it’s like they reheat the whole thing so many times.. or heat it too much.. the bits and pieces of beef in the lasagne was so dry.. even a stray dog wouldn’t eat it. The pieces of bread were supposed to be garlic bread.. but it just reeked of something.. but not garlic..! I didn’t finished my food.. and had it all “ta – pau” .. but tonite.. i still couldn’t finished it. It was way past horrid..! I asked PB .. why do i still bother to eat out.. anymore..?? it is just too depressing to eat out.
See what we have .. at our local grocery stores..?? real early for christmas krispies eh..?? but look how colorful they are..! so cool..!! No, I didn’t buy it.. because .. i donch really like it.. and the only one who might eat it .. is the brat. But it is sure colorful eh.
I’ve been in Canada for 7 yrs now. .and the amount of time i’ve eaten fresh pineapples are less than 10 times. Most times i eat them at Aunt Helena’s when we visit my in-law’s on Sunday… and it’s not even because I am stingy about it. But buying a whole pineapple for 5.99 most days.. is just not worth it .. when you are eating it alone.
Yes.. quite the ironic .. if you ask me.. back home we have them at the wet market for $1.00 and in Bangkok or anywheres in Thailand is like 20 cents. As asians.. we all love pineapples .. but you and i know that pineapples are not the best fruits to take .. for a women.. as per old wives tale. Nope .. PB doesn’t eat them. nor does the brat.. so usually .. i end up throwing them out.. so “sayang” .. therefore i never buy them unless they are on sale.. which is still ex.. ! Grrrrrrrhhhh..!!
When you walked into your friendly grocery store.. and you see these… you know tis’ the season..! I love fruit cakes.. ! what about you..?? they have different kinds of fruit cakes here.. from the light.. to the dark.. to the ones with marzipan and the ones with walnut topping. As much as I love them.. i won’t buy them.. because i can’t even finish just one fruit cake.. and it always ends up a year later.. in my fridge. .and ready to throw out. It is just too sweet.
Chloe oblivious to the bad food that we are eating.. and was quite happy to be out with us doing stuff. And as you can see .. we brought our own home made cooked food for her.. 😉 because mummy is smart..! muahhahaha!! and knows the brat wouldn’t be eating anything else.. if i didn’t bring the spaghettis that i cooked for her the nite before.. 🙂
First of all.. I’ll have to give credit where credit is due. The person who served us.. was the most cheerful person I’ve ever seen in my entire years in Y-town.. but the Snack Place is nothing fanciful.. and food is nothing to shout about either. Let just say.. the clams are ordinary.. and for the price we are paying.. it would be really nice.. if it didn’t look like we are in a 70s diner. I haven’t had clams for a good 5.5 yrs.. so i decided to try some.. well.. as you can see.. i didn’t finished it.. it was jaw breaking.
