Thanksgiving Prep

 Is everyone, I mean ANYONE ready for thanksgiving? Not even a week left and I still need to do grocery shopping!

pump pump pumpkin pie~

Last year I didn't have an electrical whisker (my arms almost fell off by the time the batter was the "right consistency").

Totally not looking forward to midnight madness, but still going since I've become a night owl :)

Christmas present recommendatios!

mmm~ coffee!

this is suppose to be a shower gel dispenser- note that you MUST get green or yellow gel!

Looks like it belongs to the dad in family guy.

The Real Angry Birds

too funny!

My shabby garden and a fly trap

I have one jalapeno left on my almost dead plant. An intruder planted himself in the pot and is now withering away~

My sweet basil plant used to be our go-to spaghetti flavorer, but after 2 weeks the basil started smelling and tasting "minty". Is this even normal? Any ideas kitchen flavour?

Ever since we started eating bananas, there are fruit flies EVERYWHERE.....so we found a way to capture fruit flies in a ziploc bag (via internet) and it actually worked, but there are still too many that didn't get trapped. You basically put a banana in the ziploc, close, and poke holes with a toothpick (supposedly they know how to go in but not out..lol!).

Still can't comment on some peoples blogs.......don't know what the problem is!

Angry Birds Origin

I found this really funny family tree of angry birds:

cute :)

cloud face

 Did you guys see this cloud face from Canada? Looks like a face!

Dumbo flying~

Toys R us

Visited one of my favorite places - toys r us!

the geoffrey the giraffe was hang gliding

Mr. P met some toy story friends

and took a picture with the other Mr. P!

Georgetown Cupcake

Finally we got to taste some georgetown cupcakes!

I wish they were so much bigger. 1 doesn't do it for me...and 2 gives me guilt.

The frosting was amazing! and the cake was moist~

Thank god I didn't have to stand in this line! I can see what the wait is all about-love this place!

Harry Potter 7

Did everyone watch the new Harry Potter movie? The records sure looks like it! People were waiting (some dressed up as characters) from 7pm on Thursday for the 12 pm showing. I actually watched it myself in 3D(didn't watch deathly hallows part 1) and surprisingly enjoyed it. Hate the glasses and can't quite tell the difference after 10 min, but I guess we have to use new technology. I was quite sad that there was no feasting scenes, but ABC had plenty of re-runs this weekend.

Sleepy Bear

This little bear is tired after his catch! Too cute :)

High Heels

I recently got a pair of high heels and realized how comfortable flip flops are :) Just wanted to share with you some very interesting heels!

banana peel heel- look closely!

gum on my heels

slide!

where's the bird?

duck face

Hope you enjoyed it!

Mangoes and Pepper

I got a box of fresh green mangoes- a little too fresh, so I left it in the sun to ripen up a bit.

group shot with friends :)

And some bad news- I found my pepper on the ground when I went out to water it...boo!! It looked like something (bug or bird?) gnawed on it. poor thing~

I was going to eat it when it was as big as Mr. P but now it is shriveling up on my countertop.

Mr. P is back!

Back from being lazy and abandoning the blog! Thought it was a good date to start again- July 1st! The start of the 2nd half of the year :)

On a recent visit to the nation's capital, Mr. P found a patriotic friend.

And another one.

And another donkey! Why are there so many donkeys and elephants?

Right.....it's D.C. how ignorant could I be? I felt stupid ;P Don't tell anyone I was a gov major.

Jalapenos!!

I am so excited!! Today, while I was watering my plants, I saw a teeny little jalapeno pepper! I guess the flower falls off for a reason :)

so cute!! can't wait to eat it : )

Chili Spaghetti

It seems like forever since I posted any pics of my homemade meals. I was watching the food channel and saw this amazing dish called "chili spaghetti" (it's actually just chili on top of spaghetti).

I already made the chili before, thus the macaroni.

At the OG store, they have a pound of cheese on top, but I was being mindful of my stomach!

Teletubbies

Whatever happened to these? At first I thought it was freaky...then I thought it was cute. Mixed feelings!!

bonus:

hehe!

Caramel Heaven

These are pictures from when we visited Werther's Original commercial spot, aka Epcot.

mmmm look at those caramel apples!

this place smelled so nice- like caramel delights!

I passed on the candy (since I can get it at my supermarket)

But had to get the caramel popcorn!
