Weekend Foodtrip and Monday Galore

Hello lovely people! Did you have an amazing weekend? Yes, that's me asking it on a Monday night. I can't remember anything else aside from I keep cooking and eating.

Oh, food, I love you so much!

To share what we made. Here's Tia's request to make Turon. It's a Filipino snack or dessert and every Filipino love this!

Mommy, can we make a banana on a wrapper, please?

And what I did is I gave her what she needs and let her do it. From cutting the banana, and sprinkling sugar to rolling it into the wrapper, she did it all. Don't worry about the knife, it's not very sharp!

Tia did well and she is so proud of her turon. Sorry I wasn't able to take pictures because it didn't last long.

And then I make lumpiang Shanghai. I was laughing as when my husband saw me cooking it he made a remark saying,

"Why it is small now?"

Hahaha. Simply because I want them to take time eating it. But didn't work out. They just get 5 at a time coz it's too small. Then repeat. They love it!

This lumpia is most of the time the star of our feast no matter what occasion. This is also the one everyone wants to take home.

That's Saturday and then yesterday I crave Palabok so I made one. It's quite complicated coz there are so many things to do but it's worth it.

This is my kind of noodle!

Monday

Then today when the kids were off to school me and my husband are out as well. Happy days!

Do you know what we did? You know that Tia got loads of coins. 1p, 2p and 5p and so I gathered everything and bring it to the coins machine that I saw at the shopping centre. I got so excited. And mind you it's very satisfying to watch.

And at the end, we've got a total of £8.52 from those pennies! Hooray!!!!

I will put it in her bank.

Then we went window shopping while we are out. And yes it's Christmas time again. As you can see Santa Claus is all around the shops.

There is so much stuff on sale because of Black Friday and here my husband told me I can get anything I want. But there are too many lol.

So I don't know how it happened but when we get out of the window shopping my husband was carrying a big box after.

And inside is him.

Welcome home, Santa Claus!

We will find a good place for you in a week.

Ho ho ho ho!

And lucky enough I got myself snow boots. Because I can feel that it will be snowing soon. Have to keep my feet warm!

But lol surprise surprise! Maybe I was carried away when my husband told me that I can get anything I want and I'm very good at doing as I'm told so I grab a pair of these without double-checking the size!

And lol I was laughing hard and I couldn't believe myself getting a boot in different sizes!

Sadly, I went back to the shop to exchange it for my size but there were no more sizes available. Someone must take a different size as well by mistake. And so I have no choice but to get a refund instead.

Lesson learned: Double check the size before buying.

I really want a knee high-leather boots but it's quite dear so I choose those boots as they were cheap. But not meant to be. So I decided I will treat myself to very nice boots that I like. It will be my birthday soon so that will be my birthday gift to myself! Or Santa might bring me one.

Have you experienced buying footwear in different sizes just like how I did? Or is it just me, lol. 🤣

Thank you for reading.
