hotcakes galore....

dear jo, dom, em, dylan, and nicky:

as promised, am posting here what i did this morning. as soon as i woke up, i went to the kitchen to prepare what i need for todays project. i am trying to make Bill Grager's famous ricotta hotcakes. i had the website on my favorite for months now and finally i had the time to do it. today by the way is a jewish holiday (8th day of Succoth) which means no work for me...YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the first time i'm trying this recipe and you know what, it wasn't that bad. the hotcakes were very light. i was a bit disappointed because i didn't find a honeycomb last nite so i just settled for aunt jemima. i would have love to show you a pix of the result but i can not find my usb cord. i need to ask melvin or hope...someone took it. i know it.

mi familia........

dear jo, dom, em, dylan, and nicky:

this post was suppose to be done last night but i was too tired to do it and the fact that hope was watching her korean shows again...go figure....

when you are finally grown up, i do hope that you can watch "brothers & sisters" or at least something like it. it basically reflects most families in my generation and maybe in the generation to come....who knows. a family who remain strong no matter what adversaries that comes to them: a mother who waits for the safe return of her son from iraq; a sister in brink of a divorce; a brother who tries to act strong after the lost of a son; a sister fights for her belief even though it's against her family; a brother who finally found true love but must let go for the sake of others; and a brother who was bound to fight a war. each lives have stories to tell about sorrow and grief.....but yet they remain strong for each other.

war, war, and more war....

dear jo, dom, em, dylan, and nicky:

almost every time you open the tv or the web now a days, it's always about a war. i try not to get involved or give my personal opinion about the current events but this is something that i can not run a way from.

last night, i saw the movie "the kingdom". another movie about terrorist attack on american civilians. as soon as i got home, on cnn was a story about this iraqi survivor. in another channel was about the current state between iran and the rest of the world. no wonder why i love watching reality tv shows.

i still remember the day when i receive the registration for the selective service. i have no idea what it was. i had to ask my mom to explain it to me and what are the implications if i don't sign up for it.
