Soon-To-Be, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes miracles just keep happening. It’s a miracle to me that the Chicklet is ours. The hoops, hurdles, and tons of love that have surrounded her in her short little lifetime and have brought her safely in to our arms is a story that will be thought about and [...]

So… my Love bought me a shiny new bread machine. I’ve had a really hard time getting TIME to bake bread like I used to. Between teaching (grading papers, planning, etc), playing with the Imp, and trying to maintain some type of order to our lives, I just don’t bake bread anymore. BUT, I have [...]

A Slightly More Decadent Calas: Cocoa Calas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the Chicklet has been home with a bit of a toddler-style, No-Day-Care allowed cold for the first couple days this week.

Thank you, Starbucks….., originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay…so this morning I stopped at Starbucks for the first time in a LONG time. (I’m actually laying off the caffeine for a while… I’ll explain later.) The drive-thru line was much too long for me as I was running late but the store itself was pretty [...]

GF:Pao de quejo, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. I have to admit this. I love Brazilian Cheese Bread – but I really am working hard to save some money for us.

GF:Simple Fig Chutney, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes the easiest recipes yield the best results. The other day I found fresh figs in our market. It seemed kind of strange to me that I found them as i had seen figs in the late summer and October… but heck – who was I to [...]

GF: Basic congee, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. So the photo is just the little bit left from lunch the other day. The babe was still eating her congee as she just can’t get enough somedays.

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Somethings happen more quickly than anticipated. Like the dinner hour approaching on a school/work night. Seriously. I never knew how fast one hour could fly until now. Life is so much fun with the Chicklet that I quickly lose track of food plans and [...]
