Happy Mother's Day

Hope all the moms out there had a great Mother's Day. Ours was super chill. I took the boys to our favourite flower shop where they each picked out their own arrangements for Angela. They were pretty excited about it all and carried them all the way home from the store. We ended the day with one of my infamous one off meals which I can never recreate because there's no real recipe. I call it made up on the spot cooking which I learned from my mom. Basically, the theory is you use what's in the fridge. We had gone to T&T to get rice noodles and BBQ pork - so I had a base, but no sauce. Stealing a flavour from our beloved Next Noodle Bar take out, I wanted a sweet Thai chilli sauce and had to improvise. Solution - a scoop of Heinz Chilli Sauce with a little water to thin it out added as the last ingredient. Angela loved it - it hit the spot and Milo remarked, "It's like it was made by a Chinese guy!" Thanks kid.

Looking Back on April

It's been a while since I've posted - life's just been hectic I guess. But I'm happy to report that the month of April turned out great after all - even with the frosty weather and taxes. Revenue Canada and mother nature may have screwed us, but having Gord, Kimberley and Benjamin in town made the month a memorable one. The boys all got along fine which was great to see and who would have known that Auntie Kimberley is a game monster! Board games, card games, building competitions you name it - her and Milo just clicked. Good to see the tradition of playing games the old fashion way without a joystick lives on in the Kwan family gene pool. I'll have to make sure to teach them both Euchre and German Bridge. Here's a desktop of the boys for the family and some other pics. Enjoy.
