Halloween is coming

My kids were very excited for Halloween this year.They can't wait to wear their cool costume to school.Although we don't have any party or celebrate this festive,but we still get excited at about this time.All the store are selling pumpkins and spooky costumes.Yes, Halloween is coming and I usually start posts Halloween the last minute.

After reading the local newspaper,discussion about Halloween safety and I was thinking back then how great those days were, it also got me thinking how things have changed and how sick and sadistic some folks have become these days. I remembered the year that I came here and the very first impression of Halloween had all changed for me.After the best night of "trick or treating" I'd ever had came a TV news flash.I never thought Halloween day could turn out a nightmare to a kid.Some adults was putting Razor blades and needle in chocolates.Halloween was just so scary to me.

It seemed that every year or two after that you'd hear about someone doing something similar.To this day the thought of someone forever spoiling one of the best kids holiday ever, to me is a sick person who are not educated at all."REMEMBER" to warn your "trick or treaters" not to eat their treats until they get home and you've checked them.That's why till today I never allow my kids to go trick or treating.It's a shame that it has come to this but we must do what we must to make sure that they indeed have a "HAPPY" Halloween.

My first Thanksgiving dinner at home

Thanksgiving day is a big holiday for Canadians.Their traditional food on Thanksgiving Day is of course turkey,cranberry dressing and pumpkin pie.

Ashley,wants to eat turkey and celebrate Thanksgiving at home this year.You know kids always thought that it would be fun to have turkey for dinner.Actually,I don't think it's a good idea to have turkey for only few people but at last we decided to buy one anyway.

Last year I had my Thanksgiving dinner in mom in law house.It was only a simple Chinese dinner.However,this year I invite my mom in law and two sis in law to be guests at our table.As I said,I like baking and experimenting with new recipes,but not in cooking.So today was rocked!I got up at 9:00 so that I could cleaned house and bummed around for a while.It was a challenging day to me.If I was going to make this Thanksgiving dinner for someone I'd have to do some planning and it takes a long day to complete the mission.

Lets talk about Thanksgiving dinner photo!

The over baked Turkey :(

I use the Italian sausage,red pepper,parsley,bread cubes and carrot for the stuffing.The turkey was good I guess.It was not very dry and salty.

Actually,I didn't prepare a lot of different kinds of foods.I'm thinking of just making a small turkey,coleslaw, gravy,sweet potato bun,stuffing,yellow rice with raisin and apple pie.

I have never made any of these things in my life so I'm nervous as all heck over here.I only have one oven and the turkey took 3 hours to cook so I can't bake the bun and apple pie on time.It screwed up my plan.oh ya!you know what I forgot to take out the coleslaw from the fridge for dinner.I only remember this after the meal LOL!!!Hubby bought some sushi for the kids in case they don't like the food.It was just a simple dinner.The atmosphere was good and I am happy that the kids were happy to enjoy the turkey.

After the meal,we ate the Apple pie as the dessert.

This sweet potato bun is awesome.These buns are supposed to serve with the meal but too bad they only can try it after the meal.
There is definitely something to be said for getting together a bunch of people for a homemade meal regardless of whatever any of you can cook.The dinner was great though.Over all, this was a happy meal.

Fall is coming

Well, I've finally made it back to my blog.I was too lazy to even update my blog everyday.I play online games whole day and I kinda let the blog go stagnant for more than a week now.Life being so bored lately.Maybe it's because of the weather-cold and wet everyday.

Actually I was quite busy shopping around since last week.Trying to buy cheap and cool Halloween costumes for the girls.Buying a costume for them ain't fun at all.It’s make me wonder whether it’s okay for them to wear some of the outfits.I remember for the first time,they love to have a cute little fairy or princess costumes but too bad so sad!not for this year!And to top it off, my 9 yr old daughter wants a witch with a broom and a hat-you know,the costume has a black cloak that everyone wears.I prefer them wearing a costume depicting an actor’s character not a ghost or witch.It's not really that big of a deal, but I'm too concern about their over imagination.

There is one thing that I don't really like about Halloween is that I have to waste money on costumes that only last a day.I hope I can sew and save.It should be awesome.By the way,it's pouring outside and the little one wants me to play Wii sports with her.She is pretty good in tennis which I always lose to her.Plus there's not much reason that I should not go to play with her right now,so that's what I am going to do.
