一加一等於三

 Last week, Mimi came home with a homework sheet from her Family and Consumer Science class (家政課）.  She needs to make a family meal with lots of details to fulfill.  She needs to come up with her menu...

We got a lot accomplished this weekend.  In addition to the cooking project, mommy and daddy also exchanged the mattress between Mimi's and guest room.  The new mattress is firmer and more comfortable...

話說　　星期天早上　把奶妹從小朋友家的　sleep over 給拎回來 這小姐一直玩到早上三點才睡　　不但這樣　還吃了一個晚上家裡不給吃的糖果　　 這種　sugar loaded 　的小孩　自然情緒會很不好 果然　小姐甚麼都看不太順眼　沒關係　like it or not 　計劃中的飲茶照樣進行 甚麼都看不順眼的咪咪　也不想給人抱　或讓人家照像       吃完午餐　　到附近的　starbucks...

 話說上星期的失敗的蘿蔔糕讓媽咪很多晚上輾轉難眠    心想  不就是照食譜作  為甚麼我的就是不成型 這星期發揮臥薪嘗膽的精神  展開品管的嚴格檢測  最後決定禍源在於水加的太多 因此  星期六在送咪咪上體操課前  就迫不及待的再捲土重來一次 大家各司其職  菜頭剉簽的剉簽  備料的備料  咪咪依然一付不關我的事的樣子 最後  把和好的米漿送進電鍋裡蒸  媽咪只差沒有雙手合十  暗念助禱  祈求...

Saturday morning, there was no activities planned.  We slept all we can until the time was right.  We decided not to waste a good Saturday morning.  The group was marching to Ithaca Bakery for a brunc...

星期五晚上  拖著積了一個星期的疲憊  媽咪一點也不想下廚 可是老的 小的 肚子餓  天又冷  好吧  去呷火鍋啦！ 最近無意中發現附近中餐館有在賣火鍋  當然不能和台灣相比   但對於看不到魚的我們來說  這光是蝦的影子  就能讓人足感心的好半天 放眼看去  大部份的食客都是學生  很少家庭來訪   說的也是  大部份的家庭  都有一個能幹的廚娘在家備料  不需要出來覓食 雖然媽咪很心虛  但是...

Sometimes, we received invitation for Mimi to go to her friend's house for a sleepover.  Usually, we are happy to entertain these requests if we know the family well.  Jordan has a circle of girl frie...

人說  夜路走多了  遲早會碰到鬼 媽咪雖然競競業業的每天作晚餐  但有時人算不如天算  不知道的事就真的不要裝懂 話說  我們週末買菜時  daddy 說甜菜根很營養  又降血壓  當然就要抓一把回家吃 但是  美國人大多只會把甜菜根水煮  其他部份都丟掉   這對勤儉持家的媽咪來說  簡直是不可能的事  說甚麼都要想個辦法把甜菜葉給端到餐桌上 媽咪心想  上次沙茶菠菜炒肉絲還蠻受咪咪傾睞  菠...

It's always interesting to see Mimi's homework.  Tuesday, she brought home an assignment from her English class.  They are learning expression in different tones (demanding, grumpy, annoyed, hopeful, ...
