this was really meant to be posted for weekend snapshot since we had our first snow fall last saturday. but when i was about to do it, i remembered i haven’t uploaded my photos yet. the kids specifically requested for play time outside even days before since they already new it’s going to snow on that day…

what’s good about it is that it wasn’t as cold so we let them have fun …today, it is brrrrr-eeeey cold!

i have talked about our thanksgiving dinner a while back and this is the second installment. heehee. i don’t know why but the turkey last year that we prepared didn’t get into being posted here in my website. maybe because the photo wasn’t worth sharing? hmmm, the shots i took this time of the turkey alone aren’t as spectacular so i guess that’s the reason! this is by far the most decent one i’ve got:] so bear with me, ok? anyway, the soup and the turkey were done by M. in fact he was the assigned chef for the thanksgiving dinner. as i have mentioned i only made the dessert. we finally gave in and bought turkey instead of the planned chicken which costs around the same! geesh!
…and this is the tastiest turkey we’ve ever had. M used his baked chicken recipe and made his own stuffing with bread, corn, dried cranberry. now, it is HIS job to make the turkey every year!

I will have to check on this online Web Hosting review as soon as possible before I make the decision on getting a new domain or not. This website shows independent reviews of the best web hosting providers out there in the market which covers a list of inexpensive professional web hosting services priced under $5 a month. Now that is doable, right? Even for the first timers and hobbyists, this site has got all the cheapest web hosting providers , so you’ll never go wrong.  When the time came that I wanted my own domain, I also started out with a $3 dollar a month website and it worked out just fine!

…i just remembered that i haven’t blogged about our thanksgiving dinner. it was such a crazy week and there after which left me with no choice but to delay that post until this day… now that i am doing some laundry after spending the day out in the snow. our very first ever for the season! and while i am at it, i also managed to hang some christmas lights in the living room and dining room windows. the tree has got to wait until the next weekend i guess…
the photo above is the hurried dessert that i made for the holiday dinner. hurried and cheat eats, at that! it was so disappointing that we weren’t able to get some lobsters the night before when we went grocery shopping…due to its low price at $4.50 per pound, that i also forgot to get some double cream for the creme brulee i was planning to make. i have almost given up and settled for a thanksgiving spread without any dessert until i saw the coconut creme can in my cupboard. to keep it simple, the recipe which called for double cream, i switched with coconut milk. and guess what? it was still good! saved by the can!:]

I have never been so successful in keeping up with the phrase ‘be your own boss’. We have tried venturing into quite a number of various businesses back in the Philippines, but nothing proved to be as lucrative. That was then and there. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I am seriously contemplating on giving it another go. I will save the details for a later post for now but what I am considering now is how to go about it. Every business, be it small or big needs start up money even if you say it is home-based, right? This is where ACH processing comes in. It is said to help in doing a fast business loan and unlike traditional bank loans, it has less stringent requirements freeing you up of paperwork hassle, they guarantee a faster approval and you can get quick cash with no closing cost or fees.  Hmmm….interesting.
