Happy New Year peeps :D

The one thing I am looking forward to Ozzie summer ... is the Mangoes.
This is my numero UNO top of the list fruit... then followed by cherries :D

Every year... when mangoes are in season, I made some plans... I wanted to try making this and that, enthusiastically looking for recipes that has mango in it... but in the end, it was a just a "bru-ha-ha" all talk and no action >:(
... there are voices (real voices) could be heard muttering in every mango that I peeled, sliced and popped into my mouth!!! "Yeah mom, thats what you said every year.... ;p"

A-ha!!!
This year... I became less mango consumed, perhaps I had fill up my quota on mango-bingeing! (Its Mangoes bumper crop {insert BIG SMILE here}). To date I 'think' I have bought about 5 boxes of mangoes (60 mangoes), my husband begged to differ... he said I have consumed about 6 or 7 boxes already...
but then... I am not counting hehehe ;)

My first post for 2016...

another re-visit post.

It was my third post, back in Feb 2009... where we had a 'competition' for the best dressed mango glutinous rice dessert. Click on the photo will take you back to my 'Point and Shoot' days.
Cringe away... you are allowed to :D

And this post reminds me of my 'mother-daughter' trip to Bangkok 2 years ago.
We had fun (I know my daughter did).
I had a scare - my leg swelled up like a balloon and were sore from walking. The unsuitable pair of 'thongs' aka flip-flop was making it worst :(

We visited every Shopping malls... we loved the weather in Bangkok.
I enjoyed bargaining whilst my daughter was trying to act as if she didn't know me  at all... hehehe

That was a memorable trip for both of us. Hope we can do it again... this time will drag the father and son along ;P, right? 'wink-wink'

Lets hope that we will have another good year ahead.
May the MIGHTY ONE shower us with HIS blessings, give us good health and keep us safe from harm.
