Although the Texas weather has not been too cooperative(meaning, it really doesn't feel like the "season" since it's averaging at 85F to date, not at all "christmasy"), I think Autumn is peeking out. Some of the leaves are turning golden and falling off the trees, the grass are turning to almost a shade of burnt orange. Days are shorter and Ethan's getting cheekier(no relation, but what the heck!)
Took this opportunity to take some pics of the annoying creeping ivy growing on one of my hedges. Yah, it's a wild ivy and sprouts amazingly pretty red berries in the Fall season. I know it's a weed but I never had the heart to take that out. This is one weed that I allow to live in my yard (yah, I'm guilty of weeed-o-cide! I hired the chemlawn dudes!! *evil snickering"). They are just too pretty to destroy. Besides, it's too high up on the hedge for me to trim.
Made Kway Chap over the weekend. Had some company so I decided to make some dessert as well. Didn't have time to make an Asian dessert but had some really good-looking strawberries. So decided to make some Strawberry and Cream Short Cake. Hmmm....It tasted pretty good, although the presentation could have been much better. Hey, it's the taste that counts right?!?!

I see you've been brushing up on your cooking skills, especially on Asian cooking - receipes from all those cook books you bought during your last visit?
Didn't need any brushing...just needed some photoshopping!! LOL Just kidding! Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to "photoshop" dinner! It wasn't too tough to cook that, mainly a throw everything together and let it cook. So I actually had a easier time. With naughty Ethan around, can't spend too much time preparing. As for those cookbooks, they are definitely great references! Hehehhe...now all I need is someone to cook for me!!!!!! Of course, cleaning is a bonus. LOL
