+ Mike’s mom recently had surgery, and her recovery is not going well. She had to go back into surgery a second time due to some complications, which was not expected at all. We are really worried about her, and hoping that she gets better soon.

+ Happy Valentine’s Day, I guess. Yes I agree, V-Day is overrated, but I got something from the hubby. He bought me a beautiful orchid, and I bought him & Max a big box of donuts with tons of sprinkles. But really, it’s not a big deal at our house.

+ Turned in my first paper of the semester last night. I worked on it up until the last minute. I hate that. It was a personal narrative essay, and I was thinking about posting it up, but I don’t know. I have to ask some people for their permission first.

+ Guess what? I peeked at the Project Runway Finale pictures. Some of the designers surprised me with their collection. Can’t wait to see who wins.

+ I finally got bought the pan & the ingredients, and made some takoyaki the other day. Good stuff. Click here to see.

+ Max has been incredibly talkative lately. He loves saying no to almost every question we ask. I’ll have to post up a video of him.

+ Happy Birthday to my little brother Tou Fong. He turned 22 this year.

    Ga-ga, goo-goo. Yummy Takoyakis!! Great pix, I didn’t know the octopus should be boiled that long.. I thought the rawer the better.

    Hope your family’s doing well, especially your mom-in-law.

    Awe…hope she gets better. My mom just recently got out of the hospital too. Her kidneys failed so they started her on dialysis. Gosh, I was so worried. Thought for sure I’d lose her…

    I just looked at your takoyaki link. I am way too much of a picky eater to ever try it, but you made it look and sound so appetizing =P

    I was watching Rachel Ray this one morning and she was using a pan similar to your takoyaki pan and she made little pancakes with it. They looked so cute and tasty.

    Hope Mike’s mom is feeling a lot better!
