My Thanksgiving dinner preparations

My hubby is scheduled to work on Thanksgiving. He also will work overtime. He will miss Thanksgiving dinner with his family. We decided to have our Thanksgiving dinner a day before Thanksgiving Day.
 

My husband went with me to the grocery store yesterday. We bought stuff we need for Thanksgiving dinner. I am not a good cook but am willing to learn as always. I search online for classic Thanksgiving dishes. I always love cooking classic dishes. 

I made a list for our grocery trips. We ended buying a 15 ponder young turkey. We also bought stuffing, gravy, beans, pie crust, apples, cranberry, lemon juice, ground cinnamon. It was fun cooking Thanksgiving dinner especially when my family helped out.   

My 11th year here in America

It was February 16th of 2002 when I first arrived in San Francisco, California. It was a very long flight from Manila to San Francisco via Philippine Airlines. I cannot forget I am carrying my X-ray result with me all the time. It was a tiring flight being my first time flying in the international flight. The foods that the airlines served were very delicious. I still remember this mean woman telling me that I can use other bathroom. I was inline because I need “to go” so bad. As a first timer, you are still learning your emotions during the very long flight. I remembered I was interview by the Immigration officer and asking about a certain documents. I did not bring it with me. I replied to him that my fiancé that time now my husband submitted it in the US Embassy in Manila, Philippines. I am glad that he believes in me and stamp my passport as my port of entry.

It was 34 degrees when I first step out at the Buffalo International Airport in New York. It felt like I am inside the freezer. Can you imagine from 90 degrees to 34 degrees in 24 hours? I am sure that your body is shock with the temperature changes. Life has been great since then. I am very blessed with two kids. My first job is in the nursing home for seven months but have to stop when I gave birth. I visited the Philippines for four times. The recent was last year of July 2012. My kids are both baptized in the Philippines. I lost the best man in my life, my father, whom until now I miss so badly. I know that he is very happy in heaven.
I had been to some States like Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Chicago. I also went to Canada and Japan. I love the steak with mushroom and asparagus. I still eat Filipino foods everyday.   I learned how to drive and have my driving license. I also become an American citizen.  These are some of my achievements since I live here in America. I want to say thank you to my husband for loving me as I am. I want to say thank you to America for accepting me as I am as well.

Finding ways to prevent cancer

My eldest sister is a breast cancer survivor. With God’s graceful blessing, she has been cancer free for four years I believe or so. She still visits the doctor to check her health. Everybody is prone to cancer whether we like it or not and that includes me too. How do we prevent cancer? I think everybody wants to know the answer to that important question.

Do you know that with just six (6) dollars we can help prevent cancer? It is too good to believe, right? Flavonoids are compound that we get from fruits and vegetables. If you do not like to eat vegetables, start eating now. Besides it is very healthy for you, it prevents from any illness too. Flavonoids are anti-oxidants too. They help prevent cancer. One of the flavonoids called quercetin. You can find quartering from vegetables and fruits. When you take quercetin, make sure you have to drink vitamin c too. It does not dissolve in water. Quercetin is only six dollars which is very cheap. Green Tea extract helps also prevent cancer. Health is wealth, that is way you have to eat fruits and vegetables to protect yourself. For more information about quercetin, please check the Website.

How do you get rid of heartburn?

We were invited by one of my sister-in-law's for Easter dinner at their house. We got there half hour early before the dinner started. Their house is very clean and spotless. They have a pretty house too. We were watching hockey while dinner is not yet ready. Everybody came and dinner was served in no time. Foods are very delicious. I had ham and potatoes. I had the cherry pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was a great dinner. I am not sure what gives me heartburn. It is not a good feeling. It hurts so bad. I took Tums already but the pain is still here. This will be a long night for me. How do you get rid of the heartburn. Any ideas are very much welcome.

Broadway Market

Yesterday the family went to the Broadway Market in the city. It is a 35 minutes from where we live. They have a Easter show. I never see a market so lively as the Broadway market. I feel like I am back in the Philippines.

It has a two floors but we never get a chance to check the 2nd floor. The market is fill up with so many people. My son was complaining of the crowd. There were many items that are up for sale. We bought sausage, eggs that were hand painted, cherry coated and chocolate coated apples, flavored popcorns. Most of their foods in the market is home made. This market plays music too. Most of the vendors sell traditional items that are from generations. What I love about the market is their prices. It is very affordable. How I wish it is closer to where I live. The kids also get the chance to see Easter bunny. My husband asked the sausage vendor if how is business. He said his sale is twice as last year. Good for him. The sausage we bought also was very delicious.
