Cold and windy outside and the sun is out.
I should try capturing the sunrise with my camera. Well… you don’t understand,
it is cold outside. Eeemmm that remain me of a Christmas song. I wish we
will have some snow by now. You might be thinking I am out of my mind. Yes I am not fond of
cold and windy weather but a snowy day could be fun. Betsy would have lots of fun
running around chasing snowflake : )
What would you do on cold windy winter
day? I bet you will never trying something new in your kitchen. Ah... nope… not
me but my darling hubby. Sugarcane syrup. I guess he get nostalgic about sugarcane syrup. He grew up
about 35mins from Lufkin
Well … so he made some and tried
new trick and... voila... what do you know? Have you ever tried Peanut Sugarcane
Ball? My darling hubby invented that. Hahahhahaa … sort of. The last batch of
the syrup he thought if he put a pitch of baking soda he will improve the taste
of the syrup. He did and we end up shelling some roasted peanuts and mixing it with the
syrup and what do you know we end up with Peanut Sugarcane Ball. It was a bit
like the peanut brittle but really gooey and sweet.
Good Lord … I think the
Texan said that sometimes, our Peanut Sugarcane Ball was out of this world. You
don’t believe me, huh... well you just have to try it. The house was warm. We
discover new thing. We enjoy the hard labor of making sugarcane syrup (actually just my darling hubby ) and yes
the yummy gooey peanut sugarcane ball. 
What would we do back home on a cold
rainy day (we don’t have winter you see)? Mom always make us a bunch and bunch
of Banana Fritters. Eeemm… with hot strong coffee, please, fresh brew. Dad calls it
Kopi-O Kau : )
