[Teddy & Twinkle] Sleepy

Teddy and Twinkle have pretty normal schedule.  They wake up everyday around 7am and go to bed at 10pm.  Throughout the day, they would play for 2 or 3 hours, then nap for 4 or 5 hours.



When they play, they play crazy!  Then all of a sudden, they just pass out.  See how sleepy they looked!

Sea Pak Shrimp Scampi

Dr. P had to work late last night.  I want to fix something simple and easy for dinner by myself.



I had a pack of Sea Pak Shrimp Scampi I bought from Costco in my freezer, and a package of pasta in my pantry.  I can't really remember how much the Shrimp Scampi was at Costco.  Maybe $12 for a box enough to feed 8 people?

Caramel Apple Tartlets


Caramel Apple Tartlet

The Caramel Apple Tartlet is from the Omaha Steak pack my sister got me for Christmas.  They can be stored in freezer for quite a while.  I had one yesterday.  Just heated up in the microwave for 1 minute, and done!  It was sweet enough, but not too sweet.  Lots of apple.  Very very good.  Even better with a scoop of ice cream.  I love eating warm dessert with ice cream.  Yum!

[Cooking] Taiwanese Style Pork Chop

I came across this Taiwanese Style Pork Chop recipe a while ago (It's written in Chinese). I love Taiwanese pork chop. I had two pork chop in my fridge so I thought I would give this recipe a try. The recipe was written to make about 20 pork chops. Since I only had 2, I didn't follow the measurement. I just sorta add the ingredients according to my own liking.


台式排骨 Taiwanese Style Pork Chop

Original recipe (for 20 pork chops):

1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon five spices
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 cups water
1/2 cup rice wine

[Teddy & Twinkle] New Collars

Teddy's nylon dog collar broke the other day when we were out on a walk. He ran down the street and I had to chase after him. It was very dangerous and I was so scared that he would run to the middle of the street. Luckily he stopped on the sidewalk and waited for me to catch him. No more nylon collars. They break too easily.


Give a Dog a Bone Leather Dog Collar by Kakadu Pet ($5.99/each)

I bought these collars on Amazon.com.  I like the description: "This decorative Give a Dog a Bone collar is designed with bone shaped silver studs that give it a real bad to the bone look."  haha.....  It said that those are leather collars, but the price is so cheap so I doubt that it's real leather.  Black one for Teddy, and red one for Twinkle.

Since I was up in San Gabriel Valley, of course I had to visit my favorite HK cafe, Harbor Kitchen.  Sister and I went during afternoon tea hour.


咖啡 Coffee / 奶茶 Milk Tea

We ordered two dishes, which came with two drinks.  One coffee and one milk tea.  Condensed milk tasted so good in coffee and milk tea.
