SuperBook – A Giant Adventure

Published by

I grew up watching SuperBook and The Flying House with my siblings and we enjoyed it a lot. Last night after watching our movie, V requested that we watch his movie so we decided to watch SuperBook – A Giant Adventure (C copied it from his officemate). It was a familiar story to V since its one of his favorite story from “Bedtime Book of Bible Stories.” Whenever we read a story to him we try to use different voices for the characters. I think the story became his favorite because of the giants voice his daddy use. Thank you to CBN for bringing back the series. Visit the official website of Superbook for more details and play some games with your little one too.

There’s a cake on the table and V declares “It’s my birthday today!” My demanding little customer with Debbie Brown’s “50 Easy Party Cakes” sat on the carpet flipping pages deciding on the cake design he want. V: I know! I want a dinosaur cake. Can we make it now? I will help. M: I will try my best to make you one. V: You can do it Mama. Meet V’s dino cupcake 🙂 I’m using a new fondant recipe suggested by my friend Sandy. I just have a little problem with the fondant it easily breaks when shaped or rolled and it’s way too oily compared to the usual MMF. I’m asking help online hopefully I get advise on how to fix the problem. *** and btw we are not celebrating any birthday we just happen to have a cake coz it’s the time of the month that my hormones go crazy!

Blogging in Dubai

I’m craving for soup and my son requested for some crispy chicken. I’m lazy when it comes to making just soup that’s why we buy those packed soup mix that you just add on boiling water. Both my boys love soup. I searched the net for some recipes (Asian Soup) found lots but then most of the ingredients are not readily available and I don’t drive. Googled again but this time within Dubai pages only. And viola! I found the following Dubai base bloggers Miso Soup by Sandier PasturesKimchi Udon Chicken Soup by OutandAboutFried Chicken of Chef and Steward I still have 1 packet left of ready mix soup and would finish that today for dinner with some fried chicken and left over mashed potato.
