2009年9月，我們把瘦瘦、怕生的Milly由香港仔一隻船上帶回家，之後就把她養得肥肥白白。雖然她比較內向，經常流露猶豫和不要理我的眼神，但看到我們時，還是會開心地擺尾，當我們是家人啊。

夏天阿媽總要每早為Milly刷身，讓她甩少點毛，她總是想逃走。但冬天呢，又愛黏著阿媽身旁。每天開飯她都汪汪叫，催三催四的；人家開飯她又要爭第一個埋位；黃昏了就到我房門坐，等我帶她去街，任她四圍走。

我最喜歡帶她去玩。Milly曾經到過新娘潭野餐，到過三星灣游水，也由慈雲山行到沙田，到過西貢鹽田仔玩。到老了不怎麼好氣力時，她也到訪過陳詠敏的家和我吃生日蛋糕，上過九龍灣和我一起返工，到過西九龍陪我擺檔。每次出外她都覺得很新奇，四圍行，大家都好開心見到她，不斷地拍照，我也好開心，不斷拍呀拍呀。

真高興接了你回家，你也會很高興來了我們家對嗎？

Candies

I went to supermarket with my mom to look for some soba noodles.

I think she likes going out with me, because she can leave the routine, the routine restaurants, grocery, shops and bus routes, mostly set by my father.

She was checking all sorts of udon and soba in the Japanese food aisle.

Sometimes she could not enjoy as much because she was occupied by the idea that my father is upset being left behind, even though we did ask him to come with us and he refused.

"I am not going next time." "He is such a grumpy old man." "It's good but..." My mom has been saying these when I go to yoga, grocery, movie and dinner with her.

A traditional housewife is not to upset her husband, no matter how unreasonable he is. My mom is a classic one.

So I picked a pack of peach flavour soft candies for my mom. She likes to have some candies in her bag. She still has that curiosity about the world, I have to dig that out and assist her to rebel.

Van Gogh the Cat

Van Gogh the cat is adopted. He really has the painter's gene. 

He is in fact quite nice.

杏仁梨子撻

我想做蘋果批，但最後想卻做出梨子撻。

撻皮不太完整，顏色也黃黃悶悶的，可是味道呀！真～是～好極了。

撻非常鬆脆，沒有被餡料的水份浸軟；內裡的杏仁餡料很香，和面層薄片糖水梨的香甜很配合。

我開心死了。

花時間不少呢，我沒有受引誘買預製的撻底，決定自己搓（所以看來就散爛了一點）。

中式燉梨甜品也好吃，但有時會帶一點酸味，可能是用了鴨嘴梨？

希望有機會再做這撻，同時希望下次做得靚點。

真是太好味啊。
