A'salaamu alaikum ya'll. Aaminah and I decided to grab some Chinese food tonight so off we headed to Star Ocean. Yes, Star Ocean. Not sure why the names seem to be randomly picked; I am sure it translates into some magnificent like their awesomeness is as big as the ocean but in English, it doesn't really come across. :-)
Anyway we got a small order of spicy garlic chicken with steamed white rice, 2 veggie spring rolls, and a side of chicken tempura for mah baby. Just in case she didn't like the garlic chicken and veggies.
Well it turned out it was not spicy at all and pretty darn sweet but still tasted nice. It had a lot of different veggies which was good and the sticky white rice was nice.
I'm a fan of spring rolls but like 'em rolled smaller than they do here. Not a biggie but just how it is. The chicken tempura was surprisingly good; we both ate 2 pieces.

| Before attacking it... |
We paid under $13 for all this food and it is still enough for a meal tomorrow if not a bit more. Really fair prices, freshly cooked food, and it was done in about 7 minutes. They deliver but we went out to get it cause I didn't have a menu handy. Ah well... :-)

My plate, not even half of the food plus I couldn't eat it all.
Earlier today Aaminah found a birdhouse I had bought for my boys to paint probably 5 yrs ago? lol Anyway she wanted to paint it, at first I said no then I changed my mind. So I hauled out some watercolors, set her up and masha'allah she painted for over 30 minutes!!!!! |

| Should I drink it?? |
 |
| I like that color :-) |
 |
| Ahhh therapeutic! |
 |
| Girl was serious about her water cup; we changed it probably 7 times lol |
 |
| Look how pristine she kept her colors masha'Allah :-) |
 |
| All done Mama! |
If you don't already have a lil curly-headed sweetie around, I definitely recommend picking one up. :-) They brighten any place you put them.
Ma salaama ya'll...

Nope, is ymail which is part of yahoo. Guess they were running out of names but now wished I woulda stuck with yahoo.com because I always have to clarify Ymail not Gmail. :-)

That food is making me drool, I love a spring roll like nobody's business. You're little girl is just the sweetest cutest little cherub!
OOh. I finally got my hands on spring roll wrappers- I made greek brik LOL. I sauteed spinach, garlic and onion with salt and pepper and a touch of lemon juice, and then drained the mixtture while it cooled. When it was cool enough and dryish- I added some egg white, and feta, put the mixture in, folder the wrap and browned them in a super thin layer of oilve oil. Served hot with cold taziki. Yummy! OK Im emailing you now.
