Have You Purchased Seafood Online?

Hi folks! How was your Easter celebration? Did you went to egg hunting event and have caught lobster instead of eggs? I know it is a funny question. I just can't get rid of my mind the seafood that I saw yesterday when I had my grocery shopping at the Asian store inside the Coquitlam Centre. I saw huge size of lobsters. I was amazed as I have never seen such size before. I wanted to take pictures but I’d left both my phone and camera at home.

Anyway, on Easter Sunday I spoke to a friend online and she showed me the lobster that she bought online. Yes, you heard it right from online. I just found out that my friend also buy seafood online. I thought dry goods only. She’s also like me fond of collecting recipes online and modify it. You know it’s a way of kitchen adventuring which is absolutely a fun thing to do especially to a stay home mom like yours truly.

How about you, do you buy lobster online? If so, does your stuff delivered alive and kicking? Oh, I can't wait to hear your side regarding your purchasing lobster online. I hope you're so open to share it with us. 

Crepes with Buttercream Frosting and Cherry Filling

I love making and manipulating crepes at home. I filled it with different types for dessert and meal. My housemates loved them all so far especially the mango crepes. I wish we could find sweet mango here in Canada like we have there in the Philippines as it's really mouth-watering being inside the crepes blend with other main ingredients. 

Anyway, these crepes in the image that I saw in the store was filled with buttercream icing and cherry, and topped with fresh strawberry. It looks delicious that's I was tempted to capture an image. I haven't tried making this one yet so far. Hopefully this weekend.

Just enjoy the looks of this dessert folks. By the way, have you tasted this dessert before? 

Soon to Venture Lobster Recipe

I love eating lobster and does hubby. I remember the time I first tasted lobster's sumptuous recipe at Victoria two years ago in one of their restaurants. By staring at the serving plate I whispered to the air, can I have some more? It was certainly mouth-watering! I looked the recipe online but unluckily I couldn't find it. Someday, someday, if the lucky weather would take us to Victoria, BC I really want to go back in that restaurant we've been to years ago. 

As a grand opening to this comprehensive cooking weblog Mems Kitchen, I decided to put on my cooking list the lobster recipe. In doing so of course the main ingredient which is the lobster. But the question is, where could I find it? Well, for that question I have an option either to try lobster order online or get from the close by Asian store. When I made further research on the website that sells lobster I found out that they offer live lobsters shipping. Isn't that awesome? But are you also wondering like I do if how they able to do that? Well, I'll let you know once I can try ordering in the future.

Anyway these 6 pieces of buns are the result of a can of dough. It comes with icing already so I just spread it on top of the buns.

My First Homemade Pizza

I decided to venture creating pizza at home because the kids often bug me to buy pizza at the store close by. I Google the recipe on how to make pizza dough and made some modifications on the one found based on the reviews made by people who have tried the recipe. 

Now is my moment! The moment of trial and error of pizza. For the toppings, I put black olive, mushroom, and the 3 different types of cheese. As you noticed I didn't evenly sprinkle the black olive because the kids don't like eating it.
