Now I can go back to writing about the fantastic SteamBoat gathering organised by VickLyn in their house. Let me start off with a new concoction proposed by Vick....
gold label reserve served with lime
And there was a plan to emulate the sauces served in Eric's Deli for the SteamBoat Set. We managed to get most of the sauces and Lyn did the presentation.....
an array of sauces by LynDue to limitations of Giant Hypermarket in USJ, we didn't get that many choices for our ingredients. But it is not the stuff but the soup that counts. And we had an over the top chicken soup although a member did come thinking there was TomYam soup too. Still we managed to placate him with some good chillie sauce.
rather basic ingredients with a well stocked soup!
For dessert, we have heavily laced with Vodka jelly by ToyGirl and an alcohol less tiramisu by Lyn (she thought we had too much alcohol!).
you can go la la land with one tray of this
then u sobered up with one slice of this
ToyGirl always wanted to make her own margarita so Brand & Neel were responsible for bringing the triple sec. Just for comparison, this is the most commonly used ratio for margaritas (50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice), ToyGirl's ratio (65% tequila, 20% Triple Sec, 15% fresh lime). Well, just for comparison ya.
the wonderful glasses are part of Lyn's collection
the glasses are really beautiful hence a second pictureAnd we topped off the night with Chocolates from Europe and a bottle of bubbly. Definitely need more kettlebells now.
chocolates from VickLyn's trip to Europe!!!
a bottle with significance (from VickLyn's wedding)And now I proudly present the members of the Famed Order of the Golden USJ FanClub!!!
the lovely ladies
the hunky hubbies
And now, lets eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet!
CHEERS!!!

Came across a blog entry about Lavender fields in Hokkaido. I had absolutely NO IDEA that Japan has lavender fields.
I've always told ToyBoy that when I die, I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered all over a lavender field. I know I know, kinda morbid to be talking about our death when we are still so young. But that doesn't mean we can't plan how we want our funeral to be...its the same as planning our birthday party. Where everyone comes in pink (my favorite color), drink champagne and eat sashimi!!!

We spoil our dog to bits. And you can see by looking at his dinner meals and my dinner meals. Even on nights where I have to placate my stomach with IndoMee Goreng, my dog is happily muching away on his plate of grilled Beef Steak sauteed with herbs from our garden.
And on nights where he is supposed to have lighter meals...
...this is what he gets.
I think dogs are getting more and more pampered by us human beings and I dare say they deserve it!! Of course, not to the degree of buying him a Harry Winston dog collar (watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua the movie). It is probably more ex than my car. Nor an LV bag to carry him around. Imagine everytime getting one for him and ToyGirl screaming for another, I think that is way beyond my mortal abilities. But bringing them tasty treats, a lovely bed, favourite toys and homecooked food are good returns for all the joy, loyalty and happiness they bring to you. So when we heard about the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better organisation, we decided to bring Mochi to have a look (ToyGirl thought we could find him a little brother or sister).
We were trying to convince a friend to adopt this one since he was planning to get a dog for his home. Although I can't remember the gender, it was fleecy white and playful.
This one was definitely smiling for us!
The younger puppies are sleeping away but it is understandable. Imagine being moved and examined the whole day.
All in all, I would say that it was a successful campaign (I hope it was anyway!), I saw many people bringing their new member of the family home and those who can't, they donated to the cause and even purchased various products as charity to the dogs welfare.
So I don't think we spoil our Mochi too much. He really deserves every bit of treats we give him for all the joy he brings to us. Check out the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better and support the cause. Kudos to the organisers!
