Memorial Day 2011

The day was quite nice, not hot, even though it is a little too windy. Michael played the bagpipes at the Memorial service at the Bristow cemetery.

Flea Markets and Dog Show

Saturday, 28 May 2011

Flea Markets in the United States are like Pasar Malam in Malaysia.

This is the 3rd flea market that I have visited in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We visited the Admiral Flea Market (9401 East Admiral Place, Tulsa, OK 74115) and the Great American Flea Market (9210 East Admiral Place, Tulsa, OK 74115) on Friday, 6 May 2011.

This is the Tulsa Flea Market (4145 East 21st Street, Tulsa, OK 74114) and it is opened every Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm.



It didn't take long for me to get bored. I guess I didn't need anything there. So I left Michael there (he loves to look at old stuff) and I walked to a dog show which happened to be held this weekend, in the same buiding.

Forgot the name of this Saint Bernard at this time of blogging. Spotted him and was told that he won in one of the show. He is heavier and bigger than me!

Cherry Street Farmers Market

Saturday, 14 May 2011

Thanks to the GPS, we didn't have any problem locating the Cherry Street Farmers Market (between Quaker and Rockford Avenues), which is on the intersection of East 15th Street and South Peoria Avenue, Tulsa.

Flowers on sale....


Irish music and dance



This is the best part. Seeing a church friend. Didn't know she was selling.

Eating Snow

Thursday, 20 January 2011

Thanks to Mary, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about eating snow.
I didn't leave any container to collect the snow during the storm last night. Mike said I could scoop the snow on top of our car. Looks the same as the shaved ice that is used for ice kacang/cendol!



I used the left-over bellies syrup Mike made for the panckes. It tasted good on the 2 bowls of snow! Next time no scooping. Hopefully the wind wouldn't blow away the bowl!




Tuesday, 1 February 2011

I remembered to leave a bowl at the verandah during last night blizzard. It would have been filled if I had left it on top of the car but I don't have snow boots to walk to get it. This time, I ate the snow (topped with a little condensed milk). This is better than shaved ice!

This is all I got from the storm last night. Next time!

Bye Winter!

Thursday, 3 February 2011 - The cars are stuck!


Wednesday, 9 February 2011 - Morning after the last winter storm of the season (hopefully, never know what nature can do).

Christmas Dinner 2010

Saturday, 25 December 2010

Glad that Roger, Robin, Joshua, Michelle, Elder Fox and Elder Lee were able to join us to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gave us the energy and interest to prepare the Christmas dinner. On our own, we would probably have a simple meal.

As usual, my chef working..........



the vegetable plate.......... (I prefer my spring onions cooked)


the baked turkey (we had turkey for thanksgiving and now we have turkey again - anyway I like turkey - it is more healthier), the dressing, the gravy, the jellied cranberry sauce..........





Baked cream corn with bacon..........


Baked yam (sweet potatoes) with marshmallows..........


Pumpkin pie - I like Mike's version because it is not as sweet as the ones that I have tasted from the stores.


Elder Fox and Elder Lee played the dominoes




Good time together. Enjoyed the company. Enjoyed the food. Hope you have a good time yourself!
