sooo, things are doing okay i guess...been too tired of late to do stuff on the computer.

in my family life, i have a brand new nephew who is a cute little button born on 09.14.2005. welcome to the world, little one.

as far as my health goes, the new baby is okay...but there is a very good chance that i will be having a c-section. in eight weeks, i am going to have another ultrasound scheduled to see if the placenta moved up from the cervix.

good news though, ian is a healthy 21.4 lbs big boy now who can kinda walk. heh.

what have i been cooking? champorado. it's a breakfast treat made from sweet, sticky rice and chocolate that i remember from my childhood. i have still yet to recreate how my mom makes champorado but i have had about 3 attempts at making it. the first two tries were still a little starchy, but one turned out pretty close to how i remember champorado tasting. it requires a ton of constant stirring and patience. :P

here are some places i got the recipes from:

kusina ni manang: champorado
the westernized kusina-champorado recipes

knitting? been really slow about it.

but here is a pattern i saw on pinku:

pocketbook slippers

i think i would like to make that. :)
