Happy 29 Birthday Kelly

This Birthday is especially meaningful to us, first of all, this is Kelly's last birthday of his 20s. Secondly this year is the last birthday before someone calls him "father". We've decided that next year baby Chung will take charge in arranging the whole birthday celebration for his father. My job is done.

Cravings

It's normal that every pregnant women would get some kind of craving during her pregnancy. I'm not any different. However, to satisfied my craving for certain food has been somewhat of a challenge. So far, I've been craving for the most was Taiwanese traditional food, food that I grew up with, food that you can't really find in Colorado. Really, I have no idea if my craving has to do with my pregnancy or just I've been missing Taiwan for so long. In any case, my craving has been somewhat long lasting, so Kelly, my father and I can work together in finding the recipes, gathering all ingredients and finally making it. Here is a list of my cravings: 粽子(rice pyrimid),肉圓(Taiwanese meat cake),蚵仔煎 (Taiwanese oyster cake),擔擔米粉 (Taiwanese style noodles), 甜年糕 (Sweet Rice Cake),日本Oshima Ramen, Red Robin's fries, 韓國辣涼麵 (Korean Spicy Cold Noodles)... I'm sure more food will be added on to this list soon. As my grandma put it: "It's too bad that you're not having your pregnancy in Taiwan, otherwise, those food are everywhere in Taiwan." Yeah, I know... who knows what I crave for is what the baby needs or what mommy wants? For my second pregnancy I'll consider living in Taiwan... who knows, maybe by then I'll crave for steak, alfredo sauce and cold cuts. @~@

Mommy's Craving 2 蚵仔煎 "Oe-Ah-Zen"

Kelly is such a great "son in law of Taiwan", here he's making Taiwanese pancake for baby! Kelly 真是一個標準的台灣女婿阿~

Add a little sweet and sour sauce... 加一點精心製造的海鮮醬...

This is it! Delicious Taiwanese Oyster Pancake tastes just like the ones night market sells.

~好吃的蚵仔煎成功了! 跟夜市的一模一樣喔!

New Years 2006

Kelly found his favorite childhood blanket,愛裝蒙面俠

Can you guess what we are making with these?!

Have you guessed it?

That's right! We're making Taiwanese Ba-Zung for the first time!

(seems like baby Chung really likes it... because mommy keeps on having ba-zung cravings..)

does it look somewhat like it?

We were so inexperienced that we need two people to tie one ba-zung!

tie it before it explodes!

Let's hope that it won't explode again...

Time to cook it! (ba-zung suppose to be 3D...some of it came out to be 2D, later ones turn out like 3D...If you pay close attention, you whould see some 2D ba-zungs in this picture)

It smells great though!

Done!

Although it doesn't look professional, but it taste quite delicious!
