買了一個三塊錢的自動灑水器
那隻小孩愛的不得了
可以在外頭玩個兩三個小時
不知水費要繳多少就事了
但是他們真的很開心

蒼蠅大哥很喜歡吃義式薄餅PIZZA
所以當然我要做這個給他
又異想天開做了CALZON給同事DAGNY

但小孩不愛火腿
所以我做了起司捲 他們又搶著要吃了!!
驕傲的媽媽

haverst - apple jam
今年生成的蘋果
做成蘋果醬 跟蘋果派醬
蘋果醬做法:
蘋果跟糖比例約4:1要是蘋果是很酸的可以調整至3:1
加一小匙鹽
這次我有加Crystalized ginger
不加水熬至畫過過降會留下刮恆 也就是可以在果醬上寫字
也可以取一小匙放冰箱約十分鐘看有無成為果醬狀
起鍋前加少許檸檬汁
蘋果派將的話就是 額外加 cinnamon, nutmeg, powder ginger
今天我有認真做高溫消毒CANNING 很好玩!!

yes, i am cheap
no one likes to waste money, and most people tried to live as frugal as they can.
we are one of those people.
some people think that people like us are really cheap,
some think that we are too hard on ourselves. we should treat ourselves for a luxury spa get away, for a nice dress, a nice brand name handbag., or maybe a new car and a bigger house....
i think most of the time, we know what we like or want to do, and buying stuff won't make us happy.
my mom always told us, if you eat one bite less, you can save that bite for someone who can't even afford food.
that's the main reason, i think people should live frugally.
i used to waste money on trendy stuff, wearing the most fashionable clothes that i could when i was young, but that didn't make me a happy person, instead, i felt lost and not knowing who i was. people doing that, usually don't have a hobby or can't find inner peace and happiness, and lack of self-confident.
Indulgent yourself usually is just an excuse of wasting money. and even i said that now, lots of time I wasted money on things i don't need too. it is not a crime, but it shouldn't be a hobby.
i am used to people calling me cheap (yes, sometimes even proud of being cheap), some are joking some make it sound hurtful. but i think i just have to stick to my believe, i would rather save the 40 dollars for a manicure instead of using it for a kid that you can help her/him to go to school for a month; and that will make me happier.
my mom is a very generous person and i am glad she brought us up this way.
i love being cheap to myself but be generous to others that make me feel very rich when i do that.

BIG SISTER DAY
各種名目的節日很多
但是我覺得這個世界需要有一個節日
叫做 BIG SISTER day
家裡的老大尤其是姐姐
其實都會不由自主的照顧弟弟妹妹
TAS平時會跟ELERI搶東西甚至會偷打他
但是我發現只要我們大人不在身邊
TAS都在陪在ELERI旁邊
上下樓梯會牽他
爬上爬下時不忘抱抱他
或推他一把
這讓我想起我姊姊
其實雖然我們小時候常吵架打架
但是現在想起來
只要爸媽不在身邊
或是長大一點我們一起出國出去玩
他總是會自然而然的擔起責任照顧妹妹們
這些好像都是當姊姊的不自覺的行為
但是因為姐姐的存在讓他的弟弟妹妹有了安全感
我每次聽到ELERI姊姊姊姊的叫TAS我都覺得很窩心
雖然很多時候是追著姐姐要回被搶走的東西
姊姊就像是家裡父母以外的大人
不由自主的他們的壓力就比做弟弟妹妹的人大了些吧
謝謝你我的姊姊
我希望TAS跟ELERI長大也可以是可以互相依靠的姊妹
當然大哥哥很多也是很有責任感的
或許來個老大節吧!!

happy 88 day
這一天為了照藉口不煮飯
所以決定要慶祝88節
很少去餐廳吃飯的我們於是去BOSTON PIZZA
他們家的東西沒有很特別
但是我們會去的原因是
一 他們是家庭式的餐廳 如果我的小孩起歡顛我比較不會拍謝
二 我們有折價卷
都是88在拍我們剛開始還很正常
然後裝甚麼可愛阿!!噁
這還差不多
酷酷的其實就是我平常的樣子 (噗~~~~~~~~~~~)
.jpg)
於是我開始認清他的七歡像我
你看看 叫他跟爸爸合照一張
他就因為手被果汁回到這樣也可以龜毛
這是我要PO的重點
我點的這一道 家裡兩隻吃了會過敏 另一隻不愛吃海鮮
之沒人跟我搶的SHRIMP TACO真的有夠好吃
之沒人跟我搶的SHRIMP TACO真的有夠好吃
我本來對這家餐廳沒啥信心的
但是有被驚豔到
蒼蠅老兄
祝你父親節快樂喔!!
