Lately my fren Redbabe has been writing a few post about these mysterious creatures; her mysterious creature to be exact. Her latest post is so funny, it has prompt me to write about them creatures too. 

If you like chicken and if you like vegetables, this is a simple, wholesome recipe that comes in handy when your refrigerator is low on stock. This recipe makes 4 servings to go with rice & one other dish or 2 servings to go with only rice.

All you need is:

1. Quarter chicken breast thinly sliced

2. 3 mini cucumber cut into small chunks

3. 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped (you may opt for 4 slices of ginger if you don't have garlic)

4. 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

5. 2 tablespoon oyster sauce

6. 1.5 teaspoon sugar

7. 1/2 tablespoon all purpose flour mixed into 1/2 cup of water

Directions:

1. Heat up the oil on high

2. Cook garlic/ginger until lightly brown

3. Then stir in the oyster sauce with the mixture of all purpose flour and water

4. Add sugar and cook till sauce is bubbly

5. Lastly add the chicken and cucumber and stir fry for 2 minutes or until chicken is cook

And voila, your very own simple cucumber chicken in oyster sauce. Hope you have fun trying it out!

I woke up feeling good and fresh this morning. Put on the music, brushed my teeth, showered and put on a nice warm purple dress with my 3 quarter tights. 

Some of you might know and some of you might not, but the first Starbucks was founded in Downtown Seattle at Pike Place Market. It's about a 20 minutes drive from my place so what the heck, lets go check out the first Starbucks to see what it looks like or how special it is. It didn't disappoint me at all. I did enjoy my trip down there as it was warm, sunny and the place was buzzing with life and I had a great lunch in La Panier (french bakery) and an awesome wine tasting session in La Buona Tavola (a small little truffle cafe). Anyway here's a picture that I took in front of Starbucks :

so can you spot the difference?

It's spring time, now why the hell did it snow???!!!
