Bee Hoon

I have been eating alot of bee hoon lately. It all started .. after i found out.. how easy it was to cook beehoon.

I have soupy beehoon.. fried beehoon.. beehoon with tom yum paste. I am gonna try satay beehoon soon.. 😉

Bee hoon is also cheap here.. i can find them at the dollar store. For fried beehoon . .i follow the recipe provided by Julia from AromaCookery. I sure missed her blog though..!

Unfortunately, for me.. this town donch always have shallots in the supermarket. Like tonite.. i wanted to fry some beehoon.. but there were none to be found. Yup.. i donch think this town like their shallots too much.. hhahhahaha!

For those who donch know what beehoon is .. beehoon is actually rice vermicelli are thin noodles made from rice, sometimes also known as rice noodles or rice sticks. They are a part of several Asian cuisines, where they are often eaten as part of a soup dish, stir fry, or salad. Rice vermicelli are particularly prominent in the cuisines of China and Southeast Asia, many of which feature a notable Chinese culinary influence (as per Wikipedia).

It’s Raining

Yup.. it’s still very windy outside.. !! i had to fight against the wind.. to walk from the carpark to the store. But you know what…??!!?? it is so good to be out..! We have so much fun at the store.. where our regular customer/s would stop in just to chat.. and have fun.

Now that we are only opened at noon till 9.30pm everyday.. it’s alot easier on us.. and sure saves us alot of headaches. Keegan has been very steadfast.. and never demanded for any extra off days.. nor got ill either. So we are pretty much set.. and Chloe routine hasn’t been upsetted since December… so we are quite happy about it.

Oh.. btw.. !! she slept the whole nite.. last nite.. and when she woke me up.. she said.. “I SLEPT THE WHOLE NITE..!!” “i can go to the store today..!!” .. hahahahaha!! Yup.. she does know.. alot more than we give her credit for.. 😉

She is currently eating chips.. and drinking apple juice.. and watching toopy, toopy..!

We’re Home

Chloe & I are home today.. because she didn’t sleep the whole nite. And we had already told her.. that she wouldn’t be going to the store.. if she continues waking up a few times during the nite.

Plus PB had her for the whole day .. last nite.. so i wanted to give him a break too… since i’m having my menses.. and wouldn’t be of much help in looking after chloe at the store. And the brat is very clever.. she knows.. she can fuss in the store.. especially when there is customers around.. and so we have to give in to her.

On top of all the above.. the weather suxs..!! high winds.. and all.. !! it has been this way since last nite..!

As per CJLS (local news):

“Parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are getting another big storm. Wind and rain warnings are up for southwestern portions of both provinces. Between 60 and 90 millimetres of rain is expected by tomorrow evening, and winds will be gusting as high as 110 kilometres an hour in some places. Environment Canada says a storm surge could also result in localized flooding along Nova Scotia’s Atlantic coast.”

Summer is never coming .. i think .. for us .. this year..! suxs..!! My FIL just planted down some peas.. yesterday..!! i think it will all go to waste now..!! bummer..!!
