Sichuan Peppercorn (Numb and Spicy) Chicken Wings 快炒麻辣花椒雞翼




  The Christmas tree at the lobby had already set up, and our christmas tree will be ready in a couple of weeks.  Things get busy and bustling, but I don't find much joy in it.  This Christmas perhaps would be the hardest one I experience.  I will be alone.  My son is going to celebrate this big festival with his daddy and his side of the family.  And me, who marital status just back to single, going to stay at home and watch the classic movie "Home alone".  It is the first festival I have no family around so I'm a little don't know how to prepare my emotions.  Is it very hard, or just hard?


Sichuan peppercorn is one of my favourite spices, and it can apply to almost all meat dish and even stew.  This chicken wings weren't as spicy as I thought (I eat very spicy), but you can always adjust the amount of the chilli flakes and peppercorn.

Braised Pig Tails with Oyster Sauce 蠔油炆豬尾




  The weather is so cold and wet these day.  A pot of braised meat, with a bowl of fragrant white rice bring me lot of comfort.  I was planning to go buy some chicken wing tips; I didn't found them, but got these.  Nowadays, pig tails are really not easy to be found in the market so I bought them home right away.

  These day I thought of my family in Hong Kong a lot.  I know my loving parents are doing great, and my sister and brother are also enjoying their lives with their behalf.  I ask myself how about me now.  Am I doing well in Canada here?  My health is deteriorating.  When the bad days hit, I almost lose. Cooking is the thing that saves me.  I can spend half of the day just to study recipes or make videos.  The process is very healing, and the food comes out always nice and yummy.  I hope you also enjoy my videos.
