A free weekend...

Finally, a free weekend!!! Not that I got anything for free this weekend, but my one-and-a-half year old son is in the beautiful city of Vancouver with grandma and his aunts, therefore, FREE weekend!

So, that means: INTO THE KITCHEN I GO! YAI!

There must be something in the raging hormones of the pregnant female body that has been enticing me to want to learn how to make everything now, before my schedule is over taken by two young kids at home.  As for the sex of the latest addition, we really haven't a clue and plan on keeping it that way.

As a child and even still, stepping into any Shanghainese restaurants my first order would be their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup.  Having grown up in Canada and unable to read or write Chinese (yes, shame on me... and something I still want to pick up), it had never dawned on me that I should learn to make it myself in fears that I would not be able to find the proper ingredients. Well, believe it or not, the push of the raging hormones and having one too many mediocre beef noodle soups, it was TIME.
