Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Let the Christmas magic begin! Last week, it was my son’s birthday and we decided to treat Mr K to a posh steak house restaurant in Birmingham before heading to the largest authentic German Christmas market outside of Germany and Austria – Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market! If you are planning to visit the market or shop around Bullring and you are looking for places to stay, why not check out Birmingham airport hotel.
The Heart And “Sole” Of Your Big Day: Choosing Food And Drink For Your Wedding!
The happiest days of your life can be, in many ways, one of the most stressful. In the lead up to your wedding day, you have so many things to keep track of, that the overall stress can wear you down. This is why it’s important to make it an enjoyable process, and if you are in heaven when the topic of food comes up, choosing the ideal food and drink for your wedding is one of the most pleasurable aspects of wedding planning. On one hand, tasting the food is enjoyable, but while you have to think about it purely relating to you and your partner, don’t forget you have other people to please too. So, with that in mind, how can you get the right balance to pick the right food and drink that pleases not just yourself, but everybody?

Last February, my mum and sister both flew to the UK to visit us. While they were here, we all went on a road trip to Scotland. You can read more about our Scotland trip with Barny here.
We stayed at Premier Inn throughout our holiday at various locations. The last location was Edinburgh, where we happened to have opposite rooms to my sister. I noticed that my sister went through her hotel routine. She knocked on the door and said we are just sharing the room with you for two nights, thank you. This triggered memories for me when I was younger I was told that I must do this hotel routine and I had forgotten! Okay, not really. I never knock the door but each time I go into the hotel room, I will inform ‘them’ quietly that we will be sharing ‘their’ room. Mr C does not believe in these Chinese superstitions thing! He thinks I am totally crazy to do this!
I had two separate unpleasant ghost experiences while staying in a hotel with him while we were in Italy and Japan. So he was used to me doing such crazy things while in a hotel room. I don’t practise these superstitions as much as I used to be because both of my children had started questioning my bizarre behaviour.
