Chinese New Year Turnip Cake "Law Bok Gow", YUMMY??????????????

Every Chinese New Year, I would get my BUTT off the couch and make my famous Turnip Cake "Law Bok Gow". Oh, "famous" meaning in my own deluded mind that is, ha!! Ha!!

I always make around 10 to 12 boxes, and give them to my friends. Everybody loves them, but I don't know if it is free food that they like or do my Turnip Cake really taste good.

You know how people are, they are just too polite to tell you your food really suck. I have no problem with telling anybody about what I do not like, because I do not want that person making that dish ever again!!

One of my friend wanted to try making orange chicken, so after two hours of intense cooking, dinner was served. My brother and I took a bite of the chicken, and like a shotgun, we spitted it out so fast that I nearly took out my friend's eye, ha!! Ha!! We told our friend never to make that shit again, and that was that. If my brother and I were polite, we would still be eating that shit today!!

I hate hearing contestants on American Idol telling the judges that they have been singing since two years old and that all their friends and family love their singing.  Nobody sings when they are two, come on!! Friends and family are most likely tone deaf, and all of them are just too polite to tell you to sit down and let somebody else sing for awhile. Truth hurts, thank god!! I say, it is better to hurt you than to hurt me, ha!! Ha!!    

 

Change - For Better or Worse? - Part two

I am back!!! Do not even ask what happened, because it will take at least two pages to explain. Just be happy that B.A.G. is back and ready to rant.

So, I was in Roger Video being sad about the closing of my beloved corner video store, when suddenly, the devil or angel, who knows which, kicked me in the butt and reminded me there is a sale going on.

In a flash, I was running around the store picking up "2012" (I am in this one!), "Ninja Assassin", "Gunless", "Macqruber" (Don't even ask!), "Robin Hood" (God, Russell looks fat!), "Predators", "Repomen", "Karate Kid" (I thought Karate came from Japan, why is the kid in China learning Kung Fu??), "The Last Airbender" (OMG! WTF! BORING and BAD at the same time!!), "Watchmen" (I am in this one too!), "Star Trek" (Out of this world!), "Million Dollar Baby" (Heard it is good, will see it soon.), and a lot more!!! After an hour, I had stacks of DVDs on hold behind the counter, and then I started on the game section, Go B.A.G. Go!!!

I had 20 DVDs and games in my arms, foaming at the mouth, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I think I was growling when I looked up to see my wife and daughter staring at me. They saw my car outside and came in to say hello, but at that moment, they were reinforcements!! I briefed them on the situation and off we went hunting down every aisle.

Another hour passed by and our stacks of DVD were so high, I needed an axe to chop them down. Finally, we were done picking, now we need to decide which ones to buy. Life is so hard sometimes, do I keep "Grown Ups" or "Sex in the City 2"? Do I throw "Furry Vengeance" back and buy "Cop Out"? Should I hold on to "The Bounty hunter" and just say no to "The Back-up Plan"?

At the end of the day, we left Rogers with about 50 DVDs and 10 games, and big smiles on our faces. I know my wallet is $500 lighter, but at around $8.00 for "Star trek" or "Watchmen", I am laughing to the bank. You ask, do I need all those DVDs and games? Well, not really, I do not need them, but I want them!! Why do I work so hard for, if not for what I want!!

I got home and I started to phone all my friends about the sale, hey what are friends for?? Ha!! Ha!!

O.k., here comes the moral of the story. One week later when I was at BAGminton, I was still telling people about the sale, ha!! Ha!! Then my friend Larry told me that Rogers lost a lot of money in those first two days, because somebody at the head office made a mistake of putting all the new DVDs on sale too. In one location, it took one day for the customers to clear out the whole new release section, which according to inside information, they lost ten thousand dollars just at that location for that one day. On the third day, the blunder is corrected, but the damage were done already. Somebody is getting a spanking at the head office, oops!!!

I guess "change" in this case is better, because it was better for me, ha!! Ha!! Capitalizing on somebody else mistakes were very satisfying this time, so one up for B.A.G., ha!! Ha!!
