Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Jeff and I wish everyone good health and happiness in the new year.

So far, it's been pretty fun being in Toronto. It was nice being with family and catching up with friends who I have not seen since our wedding - that was almost 2 years ago!)

I loved seeing my nephew Anson. He's got a skin irritation on one side of his forehead. He keeps scratching it and making it worse. :(

We also managed to make it out to Yorkdale to pick up a few things from Williams-Sonoma. That store is so overpriced! $24 for a mini spatula? I wanted one but the price tag made me put it down. However, the sale table was very attractive. Hehe ..

The snow has been unbelievable here. And I thought Ottawa was bad. Jeff and I helped my parents dig their driveway this morning. I couldn't have the two of them shovel all that snow - it was so heavy too! To thank Jeff for his effort, I took him out for breakfast at Skyway Jacks. It's a small truck-stop kind of breakfast joint with a pig as its mascot. It sure lives up to its slogan of "Home of the Healthy Portions". We could not find fruit of any kind (ie side of fruit, fruit with granola, fruit salad, etc) on the menu .. :) Luckily, we don't go there on a regular basis.

We are having our New Year's dinner tonight. We ordered a dinner pot from T & T this year. My mom wanted to try it so I figure I'll treat her to something different. It looks cool and it's got layers of dicon radish, black tiger shrimp, bbq pork, sea cucumber, black mushroom, etc. I'm getting hungry as I type this.

In a few days, we'll be heading back to Ottawa. I wonder what the weather was like there for the last few days. I hope we didn't get the same snowfall there. :(
