2.We need to hand in the receipt with the following part printed on.

So, hurry up print out the $3 coupon and shop at Bulk Barn today.

By the way, here are the items I bought at Bulk Barn with my $3 coupon.

Raw walnuts and ground almond flour.

Yes, yes, I should make my own almond flour.
Yes, yes, I will make my own almond flour next time.

Why not now?
Well...
My excuse is my homemade almond flour is very coarse. I don't mind it but my mum doesn't like it.

Anyways, today is the last day (valid until Sept 1, 2016) to use this Bulk Barn's coupon.

Save $3 on your next total purchase of $10 or more before taxes. 

I have more things I want to buy at Bulk Barn next week. Lucky me, I'll get a free gift card again!

Got to go. Have a lovely day today, my friends.

New Horizons Pluto flyby in July 14th, 2015

Hey, my friends, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will have its closest approach to Pluto today at around 7:50 am EDT.  After it was launched 9 years ago, finally, we are going to have our first chance to see Pluto, Charon and Pluto’s four smaller satellites - Hydra, Styx, Nix and Kerberos up-close. 

I'm so happy to see Kevin Laughlin created a Google Doodle anime to honour this special day.

NASA also has a YouTube page for the New Horizons.

Can't wait to see any new images of Pluto.

。(^o^。)(。^o^)。  It’s so exciting!  I’m so excited!

Have a wonderful day my friends, got to go.

Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington and Pan-Seared Scallop Dish - YouTube videos and recipes

MasterChef US (CTV / Fox) is one of mum's favourite cooking reality shows.  Did you watch it last Wednesday (July 8)?  In this season 6 episode 9,  all the contestants made Gordon Ramsay's signature dish - Beef Wellington.

I was very interested in how Gordon Ramsay usually makes it.  So, I went to his YouTube channel.  Yes, there is a video of it.

Fillet of Beef Wellington - Gordon Ramsay

Ah Hah !  Chef Ramsay shows us some tricks to make a perfect medium rare Beef Wellington.  But where is the recipe?

As always, I Goggled it.

Blogger Nicole Iizuka posted the recipe.

TV Dinners: Make the Infamous Beef Wellington From Hell's Kitchen

The beef in the photos of this site doesn't look medium rare to me, though.

By the way, the YouTube video is from Chef Ramsay's Christmas show.

Back to MasterChef US.  At the second half of the show, 6 of the contestants had to cook Gordon Ramsay’s beautifully arranged Pan-Seared Scallop Dish with scallops, quails eggs, pancetta, pea puree and truffle.

Director of MasterChef US really knows how to film and edit the sequence of Chef Ramsay cooking the scallops.  It was so poetic, elegant and pleasant to watch.  Like looking at the best ballet dancer dancing when he cooks.  His cooking montage makes me want to dash to Chef Ramsay's Culinary School to learn how to cook.

This dish's video is harder to search from the net.  This is the one I got.

Scallops with Quails Eggs and Pancetta - Gordon Ramsay
↑ This is not Gordon Ramsay.
Just in case you don't know how he looks like.

Even though it's the same person cooking the scallops, Chef Ramsay doesn't move as elegant as in the MasterChef US.  Fox, you guys are awesome !  You guys make cooking cool !

I found a recipe online but the ingredients of the recipe and the video are not the same.  Well, we get an idea of how chef Ramsay cooks his scallops, though.


If you found some other videos or recipes for these two dishes, please contact me.  Thanks a lot !


P.S.  One of my friends let me borrow her "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course".  In the book, there is a "Pan-fried scallops with crunchy apple salad" recipe.  I should start learning his techniques from the book.  Will you want to make his version of the American classic Mac and Cheese?

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 46 (May 5)

My pear collection, pear, pears, Asian pear, Asian pears, fruit, 100 Happy Days Challenge, Another Random Thought of a Procrastinator, Random Thought, Another Random Thought, Random Thoughts, Another Random Thoughts, Procrastinator

Look at my pear collection of May 5.  Yes, another post backdating to Happy Days Challenge way back in May, my friends.

Pears are nutritious, so, we buy and eat lots of them.  I have no idea we bought so many different kinds during the week of May 5.  Some of them we bought at Asian supermarkets.

Other than eating pears raw, there are many ways to cook pears, especially, Asian pears.

For example this recipe recommended by one of my Korean friends:

Baesuk: Asian Pear & Ginger Tea

Simple Korean lesson from my friend:

baesuk means cooked pear
bae = pear
suk = cooked
