Jello, Jello

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.

Lemon, Lime & Strawberry Meringue Pie For Father’s Day

Of course.. we were late in buying a cake for Father’s day.. so we ended up with a pie.  We found this very unique.. lemon, lime and strawberry Meringue Pie at the local bakery.. and it was only at $3.99.  My in laws said it was pretty good.. but my FIL said.. it could do without the lime.  Muahhahaha!!

A closer look at the pie.

Mocha Cubes

These were like $4 .. but they are really good. Before we used to be able to get it at the bakery in Hebron.. but they sold their bakery.. and well.. now it is owned by someone else.. and the last time we tried it.. it was kinda disappointing.. and we haven’t been back since. So once in a while.. the local grocery store in town.. has it.. and i never fail to get some.. because the man loves it.. and so does my kid.

Eclairs Are Cheap

I keep saying the food is so expensive here.. but food like this huge eclair is really cheap. At $1.39 only.. this eclair would take me a few days to finish.. because i don’t like sweet stuff.. and secondly .. i’m diabetic. So back home I can get chicken rice for $2.50 but for a plate of chicken rice here.. it prolly cost me $10.00. Back home an eclair like this would prolly cost me $3.50 but here it is cheap.

Another closer look at all the fresh cream.. oozing out.. ! yums..!

Strawberry Bread Pudding

This was a home made bread pudding. I couldn’t figure out what it was either.. so if you didn’t.. don’t feel bad. Aunt Helena made this last week.. i didn’t try it.. but my FIL said it was pretty good. The women folks here are so good in whipping up their own dessert. But i wonder how they finished it though.. since Aunt Helena only eats it on her own.??

Expensive Watermelon

Fruits ain’t cheap here, especially tropical fruits. In fact, fruits like strawberries are even cheaper than these watermelon. I bought these for like $1.50 ..! yes . .very ex..!! but what to do when one is craving for fruits from home. Where pineapples were cheap like dirt back home.. here you have to spend like $5.99 for a whole pineapple. Ridiculous right..!

Mother’s Day Pie

I guessed the man was generous this year.. and bought his mother a chocolate pie too..!! muahahhaha!!! nah.. he said it was pretty good.. so he bought it.. and since it was last minute.. he just grabbed what he could. The man REALLY liked this pie though.. for he had bought this a few days ago for ourselves.

Mother’s Day Cake

Yes.. the tradition that the man have for his mom.. was to make sure he bought a cake for her.. on Mother’s Day. Too bad the brother-in-law didn’t come home.. he went out partying. I didn’t eat the cake.. but the man and his parents and my kid said it was pretty good. Did you get your mother a cake too..?? i always thought the man so el cheapo or what.. ?? but i guess they do like their desserts.
