When you are living in a foreign land, you kinda light up.. when you walk into a restaurant.. and find someone from home. You try to connect and you ask them.. why and when they arrived here and then you exchange stories. I hear that jobs in Atlanta actually enticed alot of professioinals like chefs and bakers from Asia, so if you are traveling around that area.. and you find someone from home, you shouldn’t be too, too surprised.
As much as i liked BBQs.. and family gatherings.. one of the thing i hate most is the cleaning up.. after a BBQ and a camp fire. There is just too much smoke and BBQ sauce all over the place. .and of course.. probably stain from those BBQ food from kids and even adults who are not careful when eating. As for the smoky smell on our patio furniture.. we can use some patio furniture covers but for those stain.. now that’s the hard part. The cleaning up.. can be really tiresome. Any ideas..?? what to do..?
I haven’t had bagel for ages.. and i did really like Tim Hortons bagel for the longest time. So the other day .. i sent Keegan our babysitter/employee for our store.. to Tim’s..and i had told her to get me lots of light strawberry cream cheese. Because before my operation.. i had always asked for very little.. in fact next to nothing is best. So i guessed this time was payback time.. to me from Tim’s.. muahahah!! looked what they gave me.. on my sesame seed bagel.
Yup..!! it was so much.. i had to scrap off alot.. that day. Next time.. i wouldn’t dare asked for more.. else they take it literally.. muahahaha!! but the gals are really great at Tim’s..! i really liked them. They have a special place in my daughter’s heart.
Heheheh!! awesome..!! not everyone has a strong stomach.. !! You’ll have to watch this. Will you eat frog like that..?? I couldn’t stomach it.. raw fish is as far as i would go. Although i’ve eaten monkey’s brain before in China.
Who doesn’t love seafood? It’s easy to cook; from fish to scallops to lobsters, and don’t forget my favorite, oysters. Eat it raw or eat it fresh with a twist of lemon or bake it with cheese. Of course we are totally blessed here since it’s a fishing town, we get lobsters at great prices. One of my favorite dishes that we make out of the lobsters that we buy from the wharves is just by boiling it in the pot, strip out the flesh and make soup or even tomyam/lobster/beehoon soup with it. The extra lobster can be kept in a Tupperware and be used later for lobster bisque or fried bee hoon with lobster. It is so simple you don’t even need a recipe.
I don’t know if this would win anything in the Great American Seafood Cook off, but come Aug 2nd and 3rd at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center they will be holding their annual cook off where some great chefs will gather together to pit their culinary skills in an attempt to win one of the most prestigious titles: “King of American Seafood” . Tickets for the event are just $10 and the doors open at 11am. Awesome! I really wish I could attend, knowing how much I love food. Plus we all know the American seafood is one of the finest in the world. It is said that if the American seafood is on the market, you can be sure that it is being managed in a sustainable manner.
Do you have a secret seafood recipe you would like to share? Or some seafood you have eaten before that is so good you wanna go back for again and again? Or try to replicate the recipe at home? Come share your recipes with me!
I don’t know about other people but when the fish ain’t fresh… i know it immediately. It really upsets me.. because that piece of salmon gotten from Superstore.. wasn’t cheap at all. And knowing that it wasn’t fresh.. i definitely cannot let my kid eat it right..? just in case.. something doesn’t goes well with the tummy. We had bought it the same day we baked it.. and the fish came out really fishy..! what a waste of $$$$$ ..!! I should have warned the man not to get the fish from Superstore.. because their fish is never good.
Ever since my operation .. i don’t have any more craving for ice cubes. Strange as it is.. it is true. The man is the happiest of course. But i fear that now without my ice.. i am drinking alot more cranberry juice.. so that means.. i might put on unwanted weight…?? Some diet pills is in order .. i guess, else i will be putting on weight again.
Pasta anyone..??? Yes.. now that one has got Bulk Barn around.. you don’t have to worry about feeding 10 kids at home.. for you can buy them in bulk. But is it any cheaper.. buying from here.. as compared to your local grocery store.. like Sobeys..?? nope.. we made a comparison .. and we didn’t really find it cheaper. So I think i’ll stick to my local grocery store for now.. unless i want something fanciful and colorful for my pasta.
Yes.. you can also buy fruit punch powder .. in bulk. And you know what.. the westerners don’t really believe in drinking just plain water.. even kids are giving lots of these punch.. which i cannot imagine they are healthy at all. I am just very glad that the kid is not into this yet.
Yup.. scoop them into a plastic bag.. and store it in a container on your own.. when you get home.. or be like some here.. and used everything in one go.
Tea or coffee drinker..?? and can’t get enough of it..?? no worries.. ! Bulk Barn is here.. to satisfy your every craving for caffeine induce you. I kid you not.. they really have all sorts of tea and coffee here. But Tim Hortons still got lots of loyal customers.
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.
