忙

I have always been busy... but nothing like the past 4 weeks.

First, my wife is 8months pregnant. And we have to get the house clean up ( we never did the traditional "annual clean up" ) In preparation for our new child, and mom-in-law. Having to clean up the former office/storage, use half the garage as storage, use half the basement rec-room as the new office, all while my 22 months old running the house. On top of this, at work is just as busy.. deadline after deadline and overtime after overtime .. I am really exhausted. So no suprise that I did not wrote the last 4 wks.

Tomorrow is finally the day, my wife will go to the schedule appointment for an induction, and we will see Lea Victoria for the first time. Today also marked the first night that neither of us is spending the night with Darren in the same house, he is a big boy now soon to be a big brother, we are very proud that he had handle is first sleep over without daddy nor mommy pretty well.

Anyway, time to get some rest and prepare the many sleepless night ahead of us.

飲食篇-豉油雞

康少奶己有八個月身孕了,所以今次的新 recipe - 豉油雞就由我操刀,她則作軍師。做法不太難,先把雞分作兩邊 （易熟一點）， 用薑片開鑊,把雞的背面向下放入鑊中(中火),大約三、四分鐘吧,加入五湯匙生抽,二湯匙老抽,四、五少塊冰糖,一、二湯匙料酒,再加入適量的水, 滾後把雞反過來,用大湯匙不斷把汁淋上雞面，大約五分鐘後反面再淋, 重復大約四五次至雞熟透後即成。味道還不錯。就是起先用火大了,有一點焦,其他的還算可以吧!

"Shame on you" 「有無攪錯。」

上星期到一間亞洲人開的超市,準備買大量的薑去做薑醋。康少奶很自然地一邊揀一邊取手把壞的部份剝掉,過了一會,忽然發現有一個白人中年男士對著我們光瞪眼,又沒有撰購在他面前的貨品。起初也不為意,過了超過五分鐘,他還盯著我們。這時我也心中有氣了,問他, "Something is wrong?". He replied "Nothing, I am just looking at you guys taking the bad part off the produce ( He does not even know it is ginger" My wife answered "Yes, that is how you shop ginger" He replied sarcasticly "yeah, and everything else". My wife said, "No, just for ginger" He replied "The price in the market is low now but if you keep doing that, they are going to raise the price." At this time, I was quite mad, because that is how people shop in ginger, Asia market or Amercan market , it is a perfectly normal behavior. We started ignoring him, and he finally decided to leave, but before he left, he called out loud "Shame on you!!" I think this is the FIRST TIME we ever had anyone saying that to either of us, let alone publicly. We were quite upset.
Normally, I would not like to judge people just by appearance, but for this guy, he obviously is some one in the middle age but still single with no family. And obviously is someone who hate Asian or any other minority and always look for a way to pick on us. While we are quite upset, we understand that this is just how the world is, and there will always be someone doing something like that.
