Runaway Crab

This morning, the boss told me that he bought crabs for me. Offhandedly I said, 'I don't know how to cut it! He said, 'I'll do it!' I asked, 'You want to eat? You are always busy!' 'Yes! he replied. 

He bought 4 crabs and I didn't bother to know where he put it until he called from outside asking me to pour cold water over them. I said alright and I went searching for those crabs. I was thinking that the crabs must be swimming in a pail. 

They were no where to be found. My staff showed me the place and I was surprised to see them in the plastic basket. So I told him to water them.

Later in the evening, the boss wanted to cut them but to his surprise, there were only three! Where is the other one? It must have crawled out from the basket. My worker found it hidden behind one of the boxes nearby.

 
 Which one was the runaway crab?

At the meantime, the boss had already cut one of them. He was cleaning it under the running water.

nicely cleaned..


So when am I going to cook them?

    Your boss must want to eat crabs really bad until he bought live ones for you to cook without asking you first. I have not eaten them for a long time already because I find it quite tiring to eat them although I used to like to eat them.

    I hope you cook them immediately when you got home. Better to eat them fresh since they were alive in the morning. Else can just buy already cut crabs if want to put them in the freezer.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
