Greece in the movies

HP

As i remember, you told me before that you loved the movie: My big fat greek wedding, before. Well, there is a new movie in town with the same actress and it is set in Greece. This wonderful Greek descendant actress known as Nia Vardalos, may not be a Jessica Alba, nor a Sharon Stone, but she is gifted with an extraordinary sense of humor and with stunning writing skills.



Gift List ( 3 )

When you can beat them, join them...
So i decided to do a gift list as well, although it's still very early for christmas but what the wheck, who cares??!!! I haven't been lucky this year or last year, so Santa could please make it up for me...



A pair of croc sandals: I've been longing for a pair of those ever since i came to HK for the first time and realize almost everyone had a pair...that was almost 5 years ago, it makes sense believing i was supposed to already had bought a pair, but NO...still haven't, not that i'm extremely poor but being unemployed makes me concious about saving...

A pair of military style flip-flops, i actually only thought about this gift some very few hours before, after someone very evil suggested me those...now i can't take them out of my head

A coaching book about Children Soccer coaching, i took a peek of this book upon my last staying in HK, at the Page one store in TST, i wanted so much to buy it because i felt it was going to help me tremendously with my career, but don't need to say more about what happened next :-(, and i haven't bought the book...

But, believe it or not, the gift i want most is my own Erica Lam...

All purposes couscous .

EP

I like couscous its all purposes feature ,
you can add almost every kind of ingredients inside .
As salad , a side dish , lunch , dinner , desserts etc .
You can found over thousands recipes when you
search “ couscous “ on Goggle .


Last time Boss and I mixed couscous with the
“ Chinese salad veggies “ , surprisingly the taste was
fantastic . Sadly i forgot to take a photo for that
" masterpiece " .

Last night I made my couscous again . With some
left over I can found in the fridge … shrimps , carrots ,
tuna , raisins , pesto .
In a large bowl , mixed everything well with vinegar , olive oil ,
salt , pepper , pesto .

One small tip for making couscous is that like making oat flake .
Grab a bunch of couscous , spread them evenly in a box ,
pour hot water inside just right covered the surface of the couscous ,
Put back the lid and wait 2-3 minutes . Lett hem steam a bit by the heat .
Couscous will absorb all the water and become grainy and chewy .
