Someone's birthday is coming up!!!

Since the love of my life's birthday is on winter. I don't really know what to plan on his incoming birthday. It so boring to held it inside the house, or even too expensive to rent a place that you won't even enjoy because it was set to how many hours you need to pay. I still debating if I am going to give him a kid's party at the house on his exact birthday or just go out with hubby for a dinner. A family dinner will be done on Sunday the day before his birthdate. I want to take videos so he could see his childhood when he grows up and can even showed it to his kids and grand kids. 

However, thinking about the invites if I'll be able to do that. I must have look for a cheap printing services now. I don't have much time left for it is only less than 1 week. If we want it now, I better send out the invites on Monday. 

Like I said, I am not sure if I will do that or just simply dinner with the immediate family at my Mother in law's place. 

Good to sip soup when it is cold

When I was still in the Philippines before, my parents used to cooked soupy meals for the family. Because we find the weather is cold, we need some food that will help us warm ourselves without wearing layers and layers of clothes. So stew is always serve during this kind of weather. 

Now that I am here in US and we have four seasons in a year. I would love to make a soupy foods to serve with my family. My son loves stew foods and rice. And today, I got a chicken soup recipe got on a website this  website that is popular on making Filipino dish. It was great, we did enjoy the food I made that day. 

Chinese New Year!!!

Before I was really thinking that Chinese New Year falls into a specific date just like the way we used on our calendar. Fortunately, Chinese have their own calendar and that basis their new year celebration. I always thought that Chinese New Year do falls on the month of February, however I was way too wrong. They base their New Year Celebration on the full month of the month. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I can recall they based it. I have to double check and will update this blog for correction. Those who know more than I do, please don't hesitate to tell me so I could update this blog. 

For Chinese People all over the world, Just want to greet you all a Happy New Year and this is their Year of Dragon. Wish us all happiness and wealth and luck. 

First made Coconut Cream Pie

I was craving for something that my Mother in law made one time. However, she didn't made this dessert for a very long time, so I want to eat and couldn't wait for her to make it anymore. So, one night while we have our Sunday dinner at her place. I asked her for her recipe about the Coconut Cream pie. She was so excited to share me her family recipe. Got the recipe scanned and copied at my brother in law's computer. 

It took me weeks before I dare to bake. I was hesitant because I have never bake anything out from a scratch. My weakness is failing, and don't want to waste the ingredients that I didn't buy just to make coconut Cream pie. I told myself, I have to do this and make sure that I read, and follow directions and instructions. 

I am happy with the outcome of the baking afternoon. Good thing my son wasn't in the bad mood to bother me while I am concentrating on making the very first coconut cream pie. As you can see from the picture below, this is the baked coconut cream pie. The crust-pie itself is way too small from the amount of the fillings I shoved in there. It doesn't look very presentable, however I was so proud to share this here and even on the social networking where I am subscribe. 

This is just like an example of hunting a good bank for your mortgage. If you are one of those people who are looking for a good bank that will give you the approval of a new mortgage or start a mortgage then, looking for Santander Consumer USA is what you need to know. You can also read or talk with their SEO Manager and learn more about the benefits their bank can offer you.

You see, you won't be able to know if you won't try. Just like me daring to make the coconut cream pie, even if I fail and I have the weakness of failure, I stand by it and make it. Just like getting into the good bank and ask. That is something we have to learn in our everyday lives. If you need help, go now and call them. It won't hurt you at all. Good Luck!!!

Kids Freebies

Aside from my own personal freebies, I also subscribe to kids freebies where I could try for my son. It is something that he can try or learn out from the freebies I sign up under my name. It is like a skate ramps that soon enough when he is older enough, he will be able to get hook into it too. I am sure that I won't be agreeing to his decision but sometimes, in order for our kids to learn, we have to support them and make sure we are behind them to help them understand the failure they had. 

Another day with another freebies from those generous companies who would like to give out sample for their products.

Adorable Birthday Gifts

I am thankful for every blessings that comes in my life. I am lucky as well of having a second family in US who are as sweet as candies. They are so thoughtful and generous. That's why another year of my life were surprised when they have presents for me during my last year's birthday. Something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am very happy to have all these gifts and I did enjoyed them.

The BEST part of the gift from hubby....keeps me warm during very cold nights...we end up changing the design though into smurfs....

Cookies anyone?

These are the cookies my mother in law gave us on our way home.  It was pretty good we did enjoy every bite of them. I am not really fun of cookies unless they have nuts in it. This wasn't but yet I munched the whole thing. We love it and it never took days before we finished the whole bowl. 

This kind of goodies is good to eat specially when you are reading about communication textbooks. Something that you put in your mouth while understanding the whole textbook. 

My Coconut macaroons

One of the best food that I wanted to eat all the time is coconuts. Something that has coconuts in it is what makes my day. While I was still in Philippines, I don't need to make them, because someone can make it for me. Or I could go to the store and buy a ready to eat one. However, back here it is not as common as in my hometown. So, I have to make sure that I mastered them, in order to cook those foods that I love to eat. 

I am glad that my husband loves coconuts too, so it is me and him who shares the fruit of my labor. I am also happy to learn different kinds of recipes from friends online and from the sources online. Here I am, showing you the coconut macaroons that I made last year. A good friend of mine also shares her recipe with me so here it is. I do enjoy the taste of these coconut macaroons because it is not so sweet that hurts my throat after eating five pieces in a row.

This is something you can eat while enjoying your favorite teams in the television. Or you can bring this to a live game as well.  And looking for a great deal of tickets online should be consider too. If you want to look for southern methodist mustangs tickets, southern miss golden eagles tickets and st bonaventure bonnies tickets truly Ticketamerica.com is where you need to go to. You can find good deal of tickets at the website. Now, you have great deal of your tickets at the same time you have a good dessert with you too.
