Hello everyone! How was your Christmas? I enjoyed reading about it on your blogs! It was nice to come back to blogger and see lots of photos of food feasts pop up in my reader. I've been MIA due to Mario Wii. I'm so addicted to it now. It keeps calling me back. We'll play for hours (cuz we keep dying).
Err, sadly I couldn't get a nice shot of our house when it was really pretty covered in snow. The driveway was a slippery death trap. This blurry photo is all I could get before running inside! But you can see how the grass on the right is covered in snow! A white Christmas! This was on Christmas Eve, but it stayed until Christmas day. It was quite a surprise to everyone since it was like 70-75 the day before! My Christmas wish came true! :)
Sister opening presents; it was a big hit! Sorry, there are no good shots of me because I'm always behind the camera.
Nutella cookies resembling poop. The macadamia nuts really add to the effect if ya know what I mean. They were really good though. I got the recipe from Kym's blog. Somehow they didn't come out soft like hers. I think it was because I didn't double the butter. They ended up crunchy. It was still really good though!
Mom's best dishes. Chao Tom and Goi. Chao Tom is shrimp and pork blended and baked into those strips you see there. You roll them in rice paper with veggies and noodles. Optional dipping sauces are peanut sauce or fish sauce. So good! Goi is pickled and colorful veggies you eat with shrimp and shrimp crackers. My favorite dish of all time! (only my mom's version though)
Now, an old video for nostalgia's sake. This was 20 years ago... I feel so old!
It's gotta be my favorite childhood toy besides Barbies. My own kitchen sink and dishwasher set. The next Christmas I got a stove and oven set. I had a full kitchen set going on! I guess I really wanted to be like Mom! Oh, and the crazy leg stuff is because I had just enrolled in gymnastics...
Btw, if anyone has any questions on how to transfer old home movies to your computer, feel free to e-mail me with questions. I'll try my best to answer your questions.
Wow, you got a pretty good bit of snow. I know exactly what you mean about not having any pictures of yourself, I am always the one behind the camera. Are you wearing a Lady Lovely Locks t-shirt in the video?
OMG U ARE SOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!! lool... when I was a kid I got a vanity set from my granny for Christmas and I was bouncing off the wall! I'm going to try KYM'S COOKIES!
awww, my computer and internet isn't working probably so I can't view but you look so cute with the image thing! lol. Yay for your Christmas wish coming true! lol. and ewww at cookies resembling poo. hahaha. The Vietnamese food looks yummy! =]
ohhhh snaps, i know that shirt ;P haha! did you bake it to the maximum time suggested? (10 minutes?) i found that if i baked it at the minimum of 8 minutes, they came out softer!
and uhmm steph... you are sooo friggin' cute!!!! LOVE IT!!! so AWESOME that you still have old movies like that. My dad recently dug up our old VCR videos but they are pretty much ruined already.. it keeps skipping which im guessing is due to its age :( is there a way we can save it?
STEPH! I was tired of the snow! It was a pain in the butt to drive in LOL.. I am sick of the cold weather too! I don't have warm clothing :( I wanna try out the nutella cookies, but do they sell nutella? o_O I guess I should go to the grocery store more often ha!
Barney was joined to my hip till the age of like 5 (: LOL wait.. is that considered a toy? Not really.. but (:
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH I got one of those kitchen set things as a kid too and it was seriously one of my favorite Christmas presents ever!

Boxing day is like your Black Friday...but I'm sure it's 10000x suckier. The sales were completely underwhelming =(
