Ms. Dominique, with her post Laksa and Chicken Salad on a Friday, on her blog: From Dominique's Desk.
The last few days hasn't been good: too much rain, resulting in floods almost everywhere. But we managed to eat over at Pho Hoa, a Vietnamese restaurant. Actually, we were "forced" to go out since food supply was getting low. lol. Here is what we had (a kid and two adults):
This was the second time that I ate at Pho Hoa (I believe that they have many branches around here right now) and I must say that I am liking this restaurant more than the first time. I liked the fresh tastes and the feeling of being satisfied without a very heavy tummy. :P
To those affected by the heavy rains, stay safe and dry!

| This is one of those dishes that I have been hearing/reading about for the longest time but haven't had the chance to taste it. I know that one of these days I will get that chance! Laksa, it won't be long now! To see Ms. Dominique's food post, click on the shot above. |

My youngest likes humming and singing more than his older brother. I might be mistaken, of course, since he's only four years old. It's just that he sometimes sings himself to sleep or sings and sings while waiting. Quite different from his older brother, who'd rather read a book or play one of his gadgets, to pass boredom. The youngest has shown interest in musical instruments, too; like guitars (btw, found one of the best js24p at musician's friend just recently, online). He said he'd like to learn how to play the guitar when he gets older.
My reaction? Am so happy for him! Hopefully, he will still show the same enthusiasm when he gets older. :)

Ms. Winnie, with her post: Edible Dessert Cups, on her blog Something Sweet.
I seldom buy shrimp and it has been ages since my last buy. However, my youngest requested for shrimp this week (and I found some nice ones at the store today), so this was lunch: Shrimps.

Ingredients
Procedure
Enjoy!
Back home, we would add Sprite (or 7-UP) to the jumping (because they were still alive!) shrimps, but I opted for honey here, just to get that slight sweetness. Healthier too, I guess. I would have wanted to add some chili flakes, but didn't because my youngest doesn't like them. Maybe when he gets older. :P
While I was cleaning the fresh shrimps that I bought, I then realized why I seldom buy them: cleaning them seems to take forever (as well as their being expensive, lol)! I am not a very patient person, so you can just imagine the different expressions my face must have gone through while cleaning half a kilo of shrimps (even if it only meant cutting the sharp rostrum tip and pulling out the antennule). In spite of that slight inconvenience, I know I did the right thing, though, when I witnessed my youngest kid's face as he saw what we were having for lunch... :)

Breakfast Mug Menus: Quick & Easy Meals for Everyone
My latest FREE download from Amazon. If you don't have an account over there yet, then I suggest you go and get yourself registered! It's free and there are loads of free ebooks! If you're like me, interested to find other authors writing topics that for me is interesting (food, horror, post apocalyptic...etc), then you should try it out!
Nothing to lose ... registration is free, anyway. :D
Honestly, I want to get another self-hosted blog. I know, there are loads of online sites these days, but really, I don't care. lol. I mean, having a site all your own is great! More so if it's self-hosted, since it just means you get more control about how your site will look like. That would mean having knowledge about how the site works, too. There are sites that can help, like imcreator.com, or maybe your techie friend can help you out! Of course, all that would mean shelving out money; something which I am a bit low right now. lol.
It's still a plan, though. But time is running, and I must decide. Real soon.
This blog I plan to keep with blogger. I don't have as much time as I want with blog tinkering and so far this free site is doing just fine! Lately, though...loading time seems to lag. Too long, in fact, that more than once I fell asleep waiting! Yeah. Maybe it is my internet connection, but loading time in other sites seems fine.
Oh well. Life. :D
