Tom yam is always sooooooooo
pancake day
yesterday, it was.
more and more snow–the photo does not quite capture how fast and furious the flakes were falling.
banh xeo, for pancake day (Shrove Tuesday) at our neighborhood pho palace…this was a disappointment. not much flavor; thankfully our only child for the day, #2son, loved the crispy egg crepe. (daughter was off on a trip with her friends, #1son at college. their winter/spring breaks don’t jibe anymore).
comfort food: a bowl of bun, noodle salad, with all good things as toppings (grilled pork and shrimp, meatballs and shrimp cake).
so why is today another (painfully flat as ) pancake day?
i’ve just had my not-quite-yearly mammogram (i am always reluctant to book this appointment), and to you my blog sisters…you know what i mean 
.
have you had your check-up yet?

cge te, sama ko. pangarap ko talaga makakain sa iba’t ibang places dyan sa US. lalo dati yung mga napapanood ko sa Food tv network. Sana manalo ako sa lotto, bibisitahin talaga kita.
Nga pala, nagbake ako ng cake for my son’s birthday, gamit ko yung dark chocolate icing mo, kasi napakadaling spread, i just added a bit more icing sugar.
Then I bought this parang fondant icing tranfer na ang design ay cars… Aside from the cake, i made cup cakes using the same icing. kids loved it.
