Savory Fusion Crepes Tasting

Of course, I had to do a savory version.

I made basic Asian savory crepes first, because I wanted to feed the kids first before they go to their dad’s house.

These crepes are loaded with green onions, Chinese five spices, Sichuan pepper for extra something something. Amazingly, both kids LOVED these. I didn’t have much left for the savory crepe tasting later that night.

Then I made seafood fusion ones, with shrimp and calamari, loads of green onions. This one was a HUGE hit.

Of course, I had to make some meat options, such as ultimate pulled pork, my can’t-be-simpler barbacoa and Korean ribeye BBQ.

We were happy ladies :p

 

 

 

 

Kids and Parenting

New Friends

I always tell my kids, friendship is one of the most precious treasure one can have through the journey of life. Without friendship, life can be unbearably lonely. It’s been killing me inside since I had to pull the kids out of daycare due to financial reasons. I want my kids to socialize, to learn how to handle confrontation, disputation,  to learn to share with others and experience the joy being with other people.

My kids are doing great with each other over all. Big sister is loving and caring of little brother, little brother looks up to big sister and listens to her very well. I love watching these two sillies reason with each other. But they are missing interaction with other kids lately. They keep saying they miss their friends and teacher from school. I try to have as many play dates as possible with their friends, but everyone has a busy life, I totally get it.

Took the kids to a park the other day, bumped into this lovely lady and her two kids. Same as me, she got a 5-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. It was an instant bond amongst the kids.

Before you know it, the kids were giggling and laughing and running, my heart is full.
