For those who already know me.. you must know that i’m in love with Nigella Lawson. Now she is definitely my domesticate goddess and diva. I really wouldn’t mind looking like her.. and cooking so well. Truth be told.. i’m quite challenged when it comes to cooking. My FIL had been growing bok choi for me.. since i came to Canada. He often wonders how i cooked my bok choi. Well.. this will show him.. what i do .. with my bok choi that he sends over.. every summer. I pretty much cooked it this way.. or par boiled them. .and put some oyster sauce.. and fried onions on it.

This has been in my diet recently… and that’s because of my surgery, i can’t eat alot of solid food.. so i had no choice but to eat jello.  The man make this for me.. because they are of less sugar.  I’ve never eaten so much jello in my entire life.

Instead of buying the ready made ones.. the man got some he made from scratch.. so it wouldn’t be that sweet .. since i’m diabetic.  Very thoughtful of the man.. i know i should count my blessings.

The man and the kid loves chocolate.. and if you know them you will know that we go thru’ alot of chocolate every month. Fannie May Chocolates is no stranger to all of us, we’ve heard of it for so long now we even use them for sending out gifts to our family and friends. What better way to say we miss you or I love you than with a box of chocolates.

You can now order your gifts thru’ Fannie May’s website, it’s easy and convenient and safe. Use them for corporate gifts, for family or friends, on any occasion. Create your own assortment to share or choose from their many variety pre-packed gift boxes. You will have so much fun, but don’t forget the bib because you will be drooling before you finish ordering them.

I had made herbal chicken a few weeks ago.. but without the condiments.. so this time.. i got a little bit more adventurous.. and put in some chinese mushrooms, wolfberries and wood fungus. Very easy to prepare.. the pre-mix were sent to me by a good blogger friend.. Barbara from Malaysia. Thank you .. Barb.. yer awesome..!!

A closer look at the marinated chicken with all the goodies.

Here the man was tying up everything.. because he helped me to cook since I just got out of surgery about a week ago.

All wrapped up.. and ready to wrap another layer of silver foil before steaming.

There we go.. packed up tightly .. and ready to go into a steam. I used a big pot.. and then sit the wrapped chicken onto a plate underneath a bowl.

Ta-da..!! the steamed chicken.. with herbs.. mushrooms, wood fungus.. and wolfberries. Of course, Barbara sent more than just this .. so look out for more home cooked meals.. from home. Thanks again.. Barbara… they tasted awesome. But i didn’t get to finish the chicken this time.. because i had an emergency.. and was hospitalized for the next 5 days.

For someone who loves food as much as I do, I know that if i do go home to Asia for a visit.. i’m gonna stuff myself silly.  I told the man.. i didn’t really care if i put on loads of weight.. while i am on vacation home.. because i would just take some diet pill if necessary.  But no one is gonna stop me from eating all the food .. that i’ve been missing for so long.

A New Yorker claimed that he found a knife about 7 inch long in his foot long sandwich from Subway. Truly i cannot imagined that something could have happened.. especially you are right in front of the counter.. when they fixed your sandwich. Anyhow.. a lawsuit had been filed.. but Subway spokesperson isn’t saying anything. So when you are having any sandwiches.. please be careful.

Junk food anyone..?? There are just too much junk food in this part of the world.. and that must be the reason why kids here are obese. i try to limit my kid’s intake of stuff like these.. but of course.. we don’t deprive her of it. In moderation is the key word for our home.

More Junk.. for the food junkie at Bulk Barn

You can eat them.. or bake with them.

During summer, we entertain alot because of our extended families.  It is a great way for the cousins to bond.. and to play catch up.  But of course, we are grateful for our Sebo vacuums, else cleaning could turn out to be a bitch.
