假期後...
短暫的假期過後﹐工作好像沒那麼忙。原先老闆說的10pm day 都無發生﹐真好。
差不多十二月﹐天氣也真的冷了。間中會有一天說high 50s, 試過穿薄一點的大衣﹐但太陽一下山氣溫就急轉直下﹐現在除非四點放工﹐否則下班天都黑齊。為免得著涼﹐於是日日絨褲﹐羽絨﹐發現原來冬天褲不夠呢。不過近日倒沒甚麼購物慾。
今日放工去取車。怎料車子被隔鄰的SUV遮著﹐以致我看不見。一下子好緊張以為早上無鎖好門以致車子被偷啦。差不多想call 技安的時候才發現車子的所在﹐自己嚇自己。
販賣零食
見$0.99 一包﹐我同技安就上倉。不過唔知點解明輝蝦片就要韓亞龍先有。亞媽無鬼聊執到D薯片好整齊﹐不過我諗好快我地就會食晒。
Thanksgiving Dinner
本來無打算影相既﹐但係亞積叫我post D pot roast 既相﹐甘就影左D。
Italian-Style Chuck Roast with Tomato Sauce呢個就係我今年Thanksgiving dinner 既貢獻。先前去potluck 本來想整﹐但係以為姊妹K會整類似既我就無整到。唔錯既﹐一來我尋日已經切好晒野﹐二來真係唔算難同無咩steps, 唔花好多時間(因為只要慢慢煮﹐唔使理既)。不過我無放oven, 係爐頭用最細火煮既 ﹐都應該一樣既。之前整過一個無咩花巧既pot roast, 好重肉味。今次呢個就真係多tomato 味﹐各有各好。
技安整左勁多stuffing,相信未來幾日佢都要以stuffing 代飯啦﹐因為我麻麻地好呢樣。
攪左成個晏晝﹐都好似好少野甘。turkey 係買既﹐唔錯。本來想試
turducken, 但係太多啦﹐我地呢隻都食左三份一都無。
我地食個隻:
Popeyes Cajun Fried Turkey 
呢碟係技安既﹐樣樣野放係一碟都幾靚架。
甜品有先前同鄰居fundraising 買既cheesecake, $16, 16 件﹐幾抵。我唔識食cheesecake 既﹐但係技安話正囉。甘同Cheesecake Factory 既價錢真係差好遠啦。
當然今餐食淨一半以上﹐有排食leftover 啦。
溫暖的感恩節
感恩節可以著短袖﹐甘多年都好似未試過。
今日﹐無咩野做﹐因為Thanksgiving 我都係自己一家食飯多。上年叫左幾個好姊妹黎食飯﹐不過今年裝修未成就唔得啦。sofa 又未有貨﹐坐都無得坐點好意思呢﹐唯有寄望聖誕。今年本來罷煮﹐但係end up除左turkey 係買之外﹐都係要煮。晨早我整落個pot roast 就算啦﹐其他野等技安自己攪。尋晚我都整左牛尾什菜湯啦﹐又整左腰果鷄丁啦(跟大嫂個link), 又整左veal marsala。甘當然係尋日食既﹐除左個湯。
今日我除左執屋之外就call 左好多friends, 原來加拿大落雪﹐芝加哥好凍﹐San Fran 好天。同各人catch up 左﹐真係好高興。
呢兩日我都幾精神呀﹐因為尋日work from home, 今日又off, 重有兩日可以sleep in 呀, 正! 可惜大佬唔係度﹐唔係聽日可以一齊打邊爐啦。
唔知反常既天氣會持續幾耐呢?
碎
有點心煩氣燥﹐於是﹐飯後洗碗前甩手打爛了用了十幾年的杯子。
還是第一次去黑石退修營時買的...
From The Purpose Driven Life Daily Devotional by Jon Walker
剛剛看到這個﹐覺得好有意思...
· No matter where you are, Jesus meets you there – Ask God to help you as you let this truth drench your being: You are accepted by God. Some of us find it hard to accept others because we reject ourselves. (Pray about the meaning of this statement and see what God reveals to you.)
· Jesus looks at you with the eyes of love – Jesus knows everything you’ve ever done, everything you’ve ever said, everything you’ve ever thought – or ever will do, say, and think – and yet he still loves and accepts you. That doesn’t mean he condones your sins, but it does mean that, in his acceptance of you, he forgives you of your sins and he’s actively working within you to transform you into someone who is holy and Christ-like.
Fast Food Nation
連續食左兩日快餐﹐真係怕怕。
唔係一個特別health conscious 既人﹐但係fast food 一向少食。平日晚飯食屋企既﹐午餐就帶﹐一來慳錢﹐又慳時間(買野來回需時麻)。禮拜二晚要去Ikea, 所以去左Chick-fil-A食雞包﹐聽亞媽講先發現原來亞爸以前都好鐘意食忌廉頭鐘意既chargrilled chicken. 第一日食就好過癮呀﹐快又唔使洗。不過Chick-fil-A 係貴D﹐要$15。第二日無lunch 帶啦。係樓下買corn chowder, 點知之後肚痛。尋晚去買D地毯﹐之後買McD, 平呀﹐$9﹐但係食完都有D辛苦。跟住今日lunch 又要買﹐唔敢係樓下買湯﹐想去Qdoba 買salad﹐ 點知太凍﹐於是去左公司對面買panini. 好食既﹐但係原來食得多sandwich 我都係唔得既。今晚亞媽有節目﹐原先諗住同技安去Five Guys﹐但係今日食完lunch﹐我覺得返屋企食白飯好過。返到黎﹐見到有飯﹐重有高級超市最抵既五蚊雞﹐真係好啦﹐都係住家飯最好。真係唔知D人點可以日日出街食飯。
鬆一口氣
剛剛又過了主日學﹐又有鬆一口氣之感。
越預備越有驚恐既感覺﹐因為發現自己太不足﹐好似哈拿同尼希米的禱告﹐自己做到嗎﹐答案心中有數﹐汗顏。下一個是教但以理呢﹐又一個禱告的典範。看似還有成個月﹐但我知現在若不開始﹐到時候有會好辛苦啦﹐還是盡早預備吧。
昨日飲茶等位既時候﹐見到個學生﹐終於知道佢既名。佢重好nice 甘叫我地搭臺﹐不過我地四個人唔得啦。估唔到係甘既情況先同呢位有趣既同學傾到計。
另外最近禮拜日都無會開呀﹐真係好啦。希望甘樣既schedule 可以繼續落去。
耐久
美麗的百合花...
差不多兩星期﹐當然不比剛收到時的風華。不過因為忌廉頭買了一大束﹐花開花落﹐到今日還有幾朵在盛放中。
再一次謝謝。
忙中作樂
呢兩日都成八點幾先走﹐真辛苦。幸好今期早了預備SS﹐沒有重演上次的兩面作戰狀態。禮拜一話走就走係好事呀﹐否則無得打badmin 啦﹐連一個禮拜唯一的娛樂都無埋。今個星期多謝大佬大嫂送既禮物﹐今日得知其實係送俾忌廉頭既﹐好彩我都諗住等埋一齊先開。多謝呀﹐好正! 重有﹐花仍然開得好燦爛! 見到D花我都會好開心﹐再次謝謝忌廉頭﹐算係忙中找到樂趣啦。
