Next stop: Steveston. A picturesque little town. Mr. Chi-Town and I were awed by it’s beauty. Before exploring the area, we decided to grab some chow. They say when in doubt, ask the locals, so we parked the rental car and walked into Mary’s British Home, a little English-goodies/grocery store. The sights and smells of …

Hi there! I’m back to blogging, folks. I welcome myself back to As it Cooks. Oh, wait. Wishing you a happier, healthier 2018! And no, there’s no NYR. And I’m not thinking about getting another furry baby. The wounds of my loss have yet to heal. Ingerwulf was one of a kind. He was more than …

Day 2 in BC. Really? (Pinch, pinch). Rise and “shine”, Beautiful City. 🙂 We woke up to A.M. drizzles. If waking up was hard to do, decision-making was even harder. With only four days to venture around Vancouver, Mr. Chi-Town and I caught ourselves silently going back-and forth with our to-do list. Priorities change once …

Wrapped everything up around 4:30 P.M., I cleared my office desk, and walked home along the deserted parking lot of the campus. Yes, I was feeling mentally exhausted yet excited. …
Happy Valentine’s Day, darlings! I’m not really a big Valentine’s Day person. Gifts come and go. But memories linger. This might sound a little cheesy, but I do thrive on love, affection, thoughtfulness, caringness, and humor. Just knowing that I Love and I’m LOVED sweetens my day. Like sunshine. Like this pretty homemade moist Malaysian …
The first time Mr. Chi-Town and I walked into a Wholefoods in Denver, he went into a state of euphoria. In an isolated area at the back of the baked items, an ice box sat there still filled with pretty pastel shades of petit round mochis. Not just mochis. They were frozen mochis. They were …
It’s little Ms. Bubbly’s birthday. She’s a doll all right — angel-faced with a perpetual twinkle in her bright brown-eyes. Her baby talk coupled with chuckles makes me the happiest grandma on the planet! Put Ms. Bubbly on an all fruit-berry diet, and she’ll be a happy camper. So says her beautiful mummy (my sweet …

Hello! You’re called to the bar. Let’s talk Panhandle Brownies. Honestly, I’m not a ‘brownie expert’, so please bear with my ‘ever-so kampung-style’ (village-style as they’d say in Malaysia) random rant about these brownies that are enjoyed by many. I like cocoa. I like coffee, too. Cocoa reminds me of the cocoa plantations that I …
