祝Allen生日快樂！Happy Birthday to Allen

今天是我家好友Allen的生日，知道好健康的陳家會中意食不太甜的東西，所以做了個臘味蘿蔔糕來代替傳統的生日蛋糕，寿星公應該滿意吧！祝福你身體健康！

Today is good friend Allen's birthday! I know his family prefers savory than cakes, so I made this steamed radish cake for him as a birthday cake!

Wish Allen

ALL THE BEST and GOD BLESS him and his family!

It is the Eve of Christmas, of course Babe Dearest is in a rush to get out her Christma presents to all the youth group friends in church. This year, she has decided to make cookies which she has learned from her Aunty Alice, she just changed it to chocolate chips with crushed almond. Very nice and fragrant if i may say so myself!

黑椒牛柳， 官保雞丁 Black Pepper Beef and Kung Po chicken

Cooked these two dishes last night, the special thing about the chicken dish is the dried chilli. They are Mexican dried chilli, Chile Guajillo, bought in Mexican market in LA. Very fragrant and works real well for this dish!

花園報告 Garden Report

日本南瓜已開花

辣椒有兩隻

回來看到蕃茄高了，日本南瓜也出花，除了辣椒有果外，其他還沒有啊，要耐心的等一下耶！

Besides the two green chillies, there are lots of flowers on the Japanese pumpkin and tomato plants, but not fruiting yet. Hopefully they will bear fruit soon. Stay tuned!

來自海外的愛心餐 DHL meals for Sonny

食得很爽

羊排 ， 燒牛肋骨

韓國牛仔骨

自種柿子

雖然囝囝沒有去美國，但疼他的親戚們沒有忘了他喜歡食的食物，全部真空包裝起來，我就做信鴿，一一帶回來，他好幸福耶！

What lovely food Sonny has for his meals ever since we got back. Thanks to all the aunties and uncles in LA who are so thoughtful and vacuum packed these delicious food for him so he won't feel left out!

我回來了 I am BACK

After 17 long hours of flight, we have finally arrived home safely. Thank God that we got on the non stop flight as we were only on standby. This is a deluxe flight with bigger seats and hve a pantry at the back. We sure enjoyed it besides we can come back one day earlier to prepare for Sonny's exams and get rested before going back to work.

I will still have more travelogue from my US trip for the rest of the month, so do go to my Yahoo blog to check it out!

Once again, I would like to thank all my relatives who have made our trip so enjoyable: Alice, Uncle Albert, Uncle George, Uncle Thomas, Aunty Eva, Cousin Stacey, Grand aunty, Aunty Mil and Uncle Howard and May ... besides many others... big hugs and thanks!

嗒媽我回來了，不好意思耶，不懂為什麼這兒妳進不了，我的電腦水准比妳更爛。。。唉。我繼續在Yahoo那邊有更多美國之旅的點滴，妳有空去那邊看，我太懶，不要在這兒重複，拍謝！
