What to do with excess, over-ripen bananas?
Yang can attest that when it comes to buying groceries, I tend to over-estimate or ‘over-buy’. Of course, my rationale is “What if the thing I need turns out to be insufficient, dear?”. Then we would fuss over the item
Cotton Soft Japanese Cheese Cake
I have been trying out cheese cake recipes lately. I prefer those lighter versions while Yang likes the heavier, creamier types. I found a very good recipe for the cotton soft Japanese cheese cake from this website. I followed the

Marble (Butter) Cake
Yang has become overwhelmed by cakes these days – thanks to his loving wife. So now I will bake cakes no more for him…perhaps till next week? Hee hee hee. Anyway, my latest attempt is a marble cake. Better than
Where have all the trampers gone?
“Wade out when the tide is low…” An Australian song my choir sang as part of her repertoire long time ago rang in my head tonight as I blog about a recent field trip to the Labrador Park rocky shore.
I want to have my cake and eat it too!
