Getting better

Dear readers,

First of all, sorry that I haven't post anything. As you all might guess, I have been busy. Last week, we went to Toronto for my nephew's baptism. Mark was the god father. I can't believe that Thomas grew up so quickly. He was just a little baby a year ago. Now he can walk.. quite quickly.

I got a chance to get some of the chinese food in Toronto. It's not easy to get asian food around here. Everytime when I'm there I'll make sure I stock up enough for a whole month, at least. I still think that I need to get more. I love the roast pork, and also the yam cake.. spring rolls.. along with a dozen of other foods. I guess I just have really bad cravings.. or maybe just being greedy..hehe

I'm feeling a lot better now too. I was quite sick for awhile last month, and my body was pretty weak for a couple of weeks, but I think everything is almost over now (I hope). I'm gaining back my energy and appetite.. but I'm still too lazy to go to work.. Thanks for all your concern and wishes my dear friends, I hope you are all well too.. and don't worry I am a lot better now.

A Whale Lot's of Fun @ Marineland

Last weekend we went to Marineland. We've got our season pass there. We used to go to Canada's Wonderland but Marineland is nearer now.

They have pretty good shows, the dolphins and walrus was doing tricks, it was pretty cool. I went on one ride, after Mark insisted that I have to go, at least once. Well, the first and the last one for the year I guess.

We finished fun day with dinner at the Marndarin, enjoying their lobsters, all you can eat lobster~

Me and my cravings

Have you ever heard of a copycat craver? That's what I am. Lately, I've been craving anything that is mentioned. Someone just mentioned about instant noodle , and there I was cooking instant noodle the very next day.

I had such a bad craving for McDonald's that my hubby had to take me to KFC instead for the chicken sandwich because KFC seems to be a little healthier than McD. I normally would prefer KFC anytime but lately, it seems that my taste bud has changed.

And so today I got my chicken sandwich, a small piece of Colonel Snackers to fulfill my crave. I got rip off though, because my top part of the bun wasn't there, and it was my first time buying it so I thought that must be just a very small piece of snack (with only one piece of bread), and was normal, but it wasn't. I only realize after I opened Mark's sandwich, which came in a full bun, the top and bottom part. Nevertheless it was pretty good. It did satisfied my huge craving for a chicken sandwich.

The changes in my tastebuds changes my choice of drinks as well. For some reason, scientifically or not, I started hating drinking plain water. Water seems so plain and dull to my tastebuds. They are becoming very picky. It goes as well as the food. Everything tasted so much better with ketchup!
I can no longer tolerate tasteless food... everything has to be spiced up! It's just so weird how everythings changes in just couple of weeks...

Busy..busy eh..

I was kinda busy lately that I haven't post anything. I have so many things to tell, yet I couldn't share it in this website that is open to everybody in the world (so have to becareful of what I wrote). So, just cut it short, I'm busy and my life is changing, again.

This will be the busy week for me so there won't be much written.

Recipe for the week - Step by step Simple Sushi Rolls

Sushi is actually easier to make than it looks. Amy, told me how to make it one day and I tried making it a few times already now. It was pretty good. I will stop making sushi for awhile now as I had enough of it.. anyway here it is, easy to make sushi rolls that everyone can try at home.

First of all, you need to cook the sticky (sushi) rice. Mix the rice with rice vinegar, some salt and sugar when it's still a little warm. It is easier to roll them up when it's still a little warm as it will be very sticky when it gets cold.

Spread it out like the picture shown, and sprinkle black sesame seeds on it. Flip it over.

Put the seaweed, and continue with imitation crabmeat, cucumber and cream cheese.

Roll it over the bamboo mat.

Cut it into pieces..

And this is how it was made...

Easy right?

Lisa's 26th Birthday

Lisa is turning 26 on May 24th, but we had her birthday celebrated yesterday....
I made some of my favourite cupcakes for her early in the morning, as soon as I woke up.. and I continued with making more fried wontons and sushi...
We had all my favourite foods, pizza and chicken wings hehe.. and finished with a slice of yummy cheesecake Amy got for her.
Not sure if everybody will mind if I post their pictures here so I better not.

This is the pond in the farm, one of the ponds. Three little ducklings were swimming happily with the parent. It was a nice farm, with a nice trail, and lots of cherry trees!

I will be back for the cherries , and blueberries soon!

How I spend my weekend, last week....

We had a trip to Sarnia for a wedding dinner. Passed by this beautiful park but unfortunately, we were in a hurry to go to the church. We were there early but the bride was more than 30 mins late! It ended almost 2.5 hours later, thank God no more weddings for awhile.




Cute lil' flower girls walking down the aisle, pulling the lil' boy with them...

The newly weds...

We passed by this blossoming tree, and took a picture, bought some flowers here too.. I just love blossoming trees...

Mark enjoying the view from above. You can see Toronto from here on a clear day like this.

And that was how we spent our weekend...
