Lets Go Kiddo

We might have a small kitchen, but that doesn’t mean I should give up on cooking.  In fact, I see it as a unique challenge.  Also, just because we are living in SEA, doesn’t mean we need to only eat like SEA or only use those flavors and ingredients.  We find a way to make it our own. Last night, I made pork chops with kraut.  We found a place that does a good kraut.  So, we decided to German up the meal.  Pan fried with butter, broiled potatoes, and cuncumber (as Kiddo calls them) salad. I’d call it a success. We did have one snag during dinner.  It was Kiddo’s finger nail.  Her right handed pointer finger had a small snag in the nail.  She needed it fixed.  When asked why it couldn’t wait until after dinner…. Because, Dada, it’s on my pinchin' finger.  My pork chop pinchin' finger.  Watch! She then pinched her first finger and thumb together in a pinching motion. You learn something new everyday!!!! Also, we did...

We have been and are busy with Christmas and all the fun. We've been enjoying break, seeing some riverside cafes, hanging out, playing and all the rest.  Mixed into that, is Christmas morning and Kiddo, her biking, her enjoying her new Kitty Outfit, and just playing and loving. Also, we've been eating great.  We spent Xmas Eve with new friends and some friends from the building.  A mix of Mexican and Thai foods.  It was amazing.  Kiddo and I (she was chef, I was sous) made and brought guacamole as well.  J and I had a little Christmas Charcuterie as well.   It's been fantastic.  Oh, and I got some new Converse from J and Kiddo and I LOVE them, but they are even better (IMHO) with some fun laces. I don't want to spend hours on this, so I will cut it short, but Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, etc etc etc to one and all.
