It's been a while...

... since I last posted. I've just been really lazy, but working hard. Christmas holidays were great. Got to be away from work and Edmonton for almost two weeks. I miss Calgary.

Today was the Superbowl. I thought while B watches it, I'll scrap or make cards (it didn't happen, I took a nap instead...). So I decided to make dinner at noon using a new recipe that I got - "Colleen's Slow Cooker Jambalaya". Damn, it's good! It's a little runny and soupy (I already cut down on the tomato juice), but it's still good. Next time, I'll cut down on more juice. Although it's a slow cooker recipe, meaning it's suppose to be easy, but there's a lot of chopping.

Merry WARM Christmas, to me!

Look what my baby got me: a Tassimo. Although I'm not a big coffee drinker, I do occasionally crave a cup. This is perfect! Single serve on a random occasion! He didn't get me coffee discs, but he did get me some green tea and chai latte discs. I hope as time goes by, more disc varieties will come out! I'm really not a big fan of Starbucks and Maxwell House coffees.

There is no way in hell...

My work's Christmas party was this past Saturday. However, I wasn't able to go because I had another Christmas party at Banff Fairmont. Although it didn't turn out to be the greatest, but I couldn't give up a free stay at the Banff Fairmont. Anyways, today when I got into work, they brought in some of the stuff that I missed: my Secret Santa present, and this big piece of ham. The ham was as big as my head. At least I'll be heading home for Christmas and I can bring it with me and give a large portion to my parents. I'm sure they'll make better use of it than me!

Brrr...

Winter has finally came. Since yesterday, it's been snowing like there was no tomorrow. Although I only live 5 minutes away from work, but I was still wet from the snow and frozen from the cold. Early this afternoon, the snow continued but have stopped now. This is it. Edmonton winter. Coldness for the next four months straight.

Curry Beef

I got to say, I am becoming a better cook! Tonight's dinner was curry beef. Although the meat was a bit tough, because it was stew beef, but the sauce was good. Yum yum yum. Look at the picture! The picture itself will make you drool!

For the past month, I've been making 燉蛋 once a week to correct my recipe. This time round, I made sure I always had white milk, unlike last time! After eating this weekly, my skin is getting smoother and smoother! Haha. Here is my version of the famous 燉蛋:

1 egg

1/2 cup of white milk

4 tsp of condensed milk

hot water

1. Fill a big pot or wok with 1"-2" of water. Bring to boil.

2. While the water is being boiled, crack the egg into a bowl and beat it well.

3. Add in white milk and mix well.

4. Add enough hot water to condense milk until it measures 1/4 cup. Add into egg/milk mixture. Mix well.

5. Cover the bowl.

6. Add in a 'holder' into the big pot or wok of hot water. Place the bowl with the egg/milk mixture onto holder.

7. Cover the big pot or wok and heat the egg for 14 minutes on medium heat.

And ta da, my version of the perfect 燉蛋.
