minion carrying banana box

I have a friend who loves minion from Despicable Me and I've also been loving these cute little yellow nuggets. He had an unique idea to make Halloween costume with illusion of a minion carrying banana box while having you in the box. I just had to be part of this!
So here are progress shots of how it was made.

We've also entered to Coolest Homemade Costume contest. Hope we're getting good reviews!
You should click here to see the end result and more details how this costume was made. 

The chalkboard art was used as backdrop we drew to take photo with the costume.

sausage rice

This recipe is one of my own creation I came up with way back in Gr. 4. When you look at the recipe it might not sound good but still today I enjoy eating this as dinner.

My family has been calling hot dogs, "sausage" so I'm too used to calling this recipe Sausage Rice but yes, it is using hotdog, not sausage.

Sausage rice: 2 Servings
- 1cup(measurement from rice cooker) cooked rice
- 2-3 hot dogs, thinly sliced
- 1/2 Kraft Single cheese, rip into pieces.
- 2 egg, half beaten
- 4 Cavendish hash browns
- 1/2 cup ketchup

1. In medium heat, heat hash browns and break into pieces as it defrosts.2. Throw in hot dogs until adds grill mark.
3. Mix rice, add oil if rice is sticking on pan.
4. Pour ketchup and mix all together until rice had bit of crispy texture to it. Add more ketchup for more flavor.
5. Pour rice mix into oven bake bowl. Sprinkle cheese on top.
6. Drizzle with egg on top.
7. Throw into microwave for 1min or longer until egg is 3/4 cooked.

summer time meal

So before it gets anymore colder, here I am sharing meals I made over the summer.

I had new attempt to make homemade Italian dressing. My mom's salad always had lettuces, carrots, celery and sliced apple that goes so well with Italian dressing.

I tried out making sliced baked potatoes again to go with one of the dish. It's fun to make but takes time to bake potatoes.

Another great place to enjoy your food you made is eating breakfast outside your patio. I wish I had hammock or something to take a nap outside after my meal.

It's getting cold really fast, take lot of ginger, green onion to avoid cold! That's my secret.
