the extra 2 hours to enjoy dessert making

It's been almost 2 months after moving back to the t dot, and life here is so much different than in Hong Kong.

Fresh air, blue sky and robins visiting your backyard and skunk sneaking in sometimes... perhaps it is something that's so usual to most Canadians, well and to me too maybe, but definitely it becomes so refreshing to someone who's been stuck in the polluted Hong Kong for a few years.

And what's more is, there seems to have 26 hours running in a day here in Canada.  Well yes, to some extent, life here can be boring so makes you feel like time's running a bit slower; but on the other hand, you do have more time to enjoy your everyday life here, like dessert making at night.

We bought a super duper powerful blender over the weekend named Ladyship, it is also sold in Hong Kong, too.  Found in Sogo that cost about HK$3000 or more, with this cheaper model that we got here, it costs a bit less, but still, not cheap. 

But you do get what you paid for;  It's like taking the greyhound and spend 10 hours on the a bus ride to NYC and flying on a plane that takes you to the Big Apple in an hour.

So, of course, we are maximizing the use of this blender EVERYDAY!

Yes I mean everyday, both day and night and night and day!!!  In the past few days, I made freshly squeezed grape juice, honey lime juice, papaya milkshake and strawberry milkshake for breakfast and snack.

At night, it's the mother and daughter dessert making time.

Taking this powerful blender to make traditional delicious Chinese dessert - black sesame porridge, cashew nut porridge and almond tea.

Tonight, we made cashew nut porridge and almond tea, it takes only about 3 minutes we get homemade original healthy Chinese dessert!!! 



Well back to what I've mentioned earlier, you do feel like you get the extra two hours to spend in Canada, but again, when you get that extra time, you want to use it up and not have it wasted!  And thus, we spent 10 minutes to make 2 desserts and enjoyed the yummy delight tonight!
