(Samot-Sari) Anything Goes

Image
I was missing the grill corn from back home and I made my own version; roasted corn in my toaster oven. Yummy! This is my homemade chicken pieces for my ever picky children. Honey dijon flavor chicken pieces. And here is the cake from my Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. Decorated with golden leaves for 50th, the golden anniversary. Actually my parents celebrated their 50th 3 weeks before this one. My mom called me up telling us to come. If only they are walking distance or even 1 day drive we could come. But it will cost us about 15K and at least 1 week off work for DH...oh how I wish... Ok, you know what you need to do to view more FTF entry, below is the link.

What Kind Of Recipe?

Like I mention on my regular post earlier, I wanted to know what this dish called. It has crab meat, shrimp, rice and white creamy sauce. I don't know if the sauce have white cheese on it what. Usually I can taste the saltiness if there are some, but one has sweetness in them. I did try locating it from google search by typing the ingredients and I got a lot of seafood/shrimp & crab casserole. Is it the correct one? Please let me know because I wanted to make some. DH love it too and it is very hard to find a dish that we both like. This one can save my time in the kitchen preparing one dish for the whole family. Let me know, ok?

Have you Notice?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products . All opinions are 100% mine. I would say that most parents with newborn should have, and those who are looking for formula brands to use for their babies. When I had my oldest, they have a different kind of formulas, and I can't even remember if the stores have this kind those days. Yes, they change their look but the product is the same, and the formula is still offering complete nutritional value for baby's health and development. The same DHA & ARA to help support brain and eye development and meet all FDA (we all know how I feel about them) guidelines. New packaging does not make me buy anything, unless I know it is good for my children. However, with Parent's Choice, they made it easy-to-read product along with age and benefits. Cleaner look than before I may add. Walmart is selling this for the same price of $11.88 just like before. And for those of you (like me) don't have time to shop in the s...

Making Chocolate Cake Today

From what I was told (lol) my birthday was yesterday. And DH today and our wedding anniversary tomorrow. I am graving for any type of shellfish (I know I will go to hell for eating it) and DH promised that we should go out this weekend with no kids if we can find someone to watch them...lol...more likely not. I told him we should just go to our local grocery store and buy some live ones (not locally grown..sad), ask them to boil them for us and take it home and enjoy it in the comfort of our home. However, we both agree a long time ago that it isn't the same as going out. Anyway, we were at relatives gathering this past Sunday and they have this imitation crab meat, shrimp and rice with white creamy sauce. I forgot to asked them what they call it. I looked online and it is more likely a seafood casserole of some-kind. If anyone know what it is, please let me know. I would like to make some with regular crabs of course. It was very yummy and I went back for the 3rd time...lol. D...

Made Locally

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way . All opinions are 100% mine. A friend of mine was very surprised when I told her about the things I do now a day. My family has a vegetable garden in the backyard, and we try to buy other vegetables in our local farmers' market. They are fresh and yes, we do help them by buying vegetables from them. They may be some difference in price, but I rather gave my money to them than a big corporation driving small businesses out of business. Furthermore, nothing can compare to the service they gave the locals. I know I have been there many times. It worries me because I can't find products Made in America anymore, even the United States of America's flag is not made here, how sad is that? Can you find a shoe-maker in your town? I can't and that scare me too. How about one day, these corporations decided to stop sending us products from another country? What will you do then? I don't know anyone that can mak...

More Mangoes

Image
Again, thank you FIL and Uncle George for these mangoes. Uncle George for growing and bringing it to my FIL house from FL, and to my FIL for taking it to my house. I have given 4 people so much of these. Sorry Vicky, I can't mail it to you in CA...lol. Here are 3 boxes full of Apple Mangoes and Tropical Mangoes. I am surprise they grow in FL. Maybe next year we can visit our Uncle and take home a lot of it. The only reason for me not having enough to go around is, they are too far away. Plus, they are too old to travel that far. Thanks to my other Uncle who lives half way in NC. I think they drive until they get in NC. Then stay the night and continue on to NJ the next day. I can't thank them enough for doing this for me.

I Need My Coffee

Image
I can probably say (by now) that I am addicted to coffee now. Why you ask, because I get a headache if I don't drink at least a cup of my favorite coffee a day? It wasn't used to be that way, but in my age, I need an extra boost to get through the day. I will be taking one nap a day if I don't, and I can't afford to take a nap, especially during school days for my children. I have a job to do, and they need to spend certain hours a day with their lessons. I used to drink everyday when I was still working. However, I stop with no problem when I stayed at home. It's not the case anymore. It is another story with my husband. His been drinking coffee when I met him, and he still drinks a lot until now. More when he is home than working and yes, he gets the headache too when he doesn't have any access with them. Like when he goes camping and always forget to bring his instant coffee. They are getting fancy now a day, they almost look like coffee pods. I bet he will n...
