Not the Usual Christmas Trees

The Oreo Tree

It’s the month of advent and in a few weeks time it will be Christmas. Many shopping centres and places of attraction have already put up their Christmas decorations. While out with the kids we spotted these innovative Christmas trees. I certainly don’t mind having one of these alternative trees instead of the traditional Christmas tree at home.

TheTolberone Tree

This will certainly be a great tree to take down after Christmas or take apart during the Christmas party 🙂 I can  see that it will certainly be a hit with the kids who surely can’t wait to sink their teeth into the tasty chocolate.

Instant Noodles Tree

A tree for the non-cook. I’m sure collage students would be extremely happy to receive such a Christmas tree. Anytime the students are hungry and needed a quick meal they just need to peel the layers off the tree for a snack.

What would your ideal Christmas Tree be like?

Toro Ramen and Udon Soup on a Friday

During the week we went to a Japanese restaurant at Vivo city  for some yummy ramen. I have yet to learn how to cook ramen so we have it when we are eating out.  It is certainly a dish on my “to learn” list.

Udon Soup noodles with vegetables

We normally cook this once a week at home.  I use miso soup base and add in fish cake, crab stickIt is really easy to cook and takes the most 20 minutes to get dinner all cooked.

Do you kids love Ramen or Udon or both?
