Sunday is usually a big cooking day for us, so that all we would need to do during the busy weekdays is just reheating. One of the dishes we made this week was grilled turmeric chicken. This recipe originally comes from Linda of Roti n Rice. The dish is easy to make (it is simply […]
The Many Faces of Cyber
We’ve been enjoying dinner in our backyard these past few days, and I took the opportunity to take some new photos of Cyber last night. Enjoy! :)
Flowers Everywhere
A lot of the flowers in our garden are in full bloom! All that weeding and mulching paid off after all (I try to remind myself of that often). :)
Steak for Dinner
Meat, meat, and more meat. We had ribeye steak for dinner last night with macaroni salad. Sooooooo delicious! The steaks were cooked on a gas grill. All we use for seasoning is just plain old salt (coarse) and black pepper. If cooked indoors on a pan, we would sometimes sprinkle on fresh thyme leaves as […]
Macaroni Salad and Jersey-Style Hot Dogs
Earlier this afternoon, Alex helped me make macaroni salad. For dinner, I would have loved a steak to go with it. :) However, that means a trip to Costco on a Friday evening…totally not up to it. Instead, we made Jersey-style hot dogs for the very first time. It was easy-peasy and delicious! Recipe for […]
Granola Bars

Happy Father’s Day
Although seafoods were fresh and plentiful back in Malaysia, I had eaten a lobster only once before today, and that was almost 20 years ago. I had it in a restaurant, and it was hard, rubbery, and bland and I thought to myself, “This is what I’m paying for?” I had often thought of trying […]

Our Easter Dinner
In the evening – it was grilling time! We wonder why we don’t do this often. :) Note: Recipe for grilled pork can be found in a previously published post – Macaroni Salad and Grilled Soy Sauce Pork. For a bolder flavor, I divided 5 pounds of pork tenderloin into two bags and marinated each bag of meat with the […]
