Coleslaw

With Tina's tips, I decided to make some coleslaw to go with the spaghetti and baked chicken.


It also had been so long I baked cripsy chicken. Yeah. turned out better than previous times. Best of all, no oil was used. :)


Made 1 plate of spaghetti to share also. Seemed like we had a heavy dinner tonight. *guilty*

Claypot Vegetables Yi Mee

No more kuay teow when I went to market during lunch time. But had a nice lunch instead. :) Still feel like cooking one dish meal for tonight dinner. Decided to use my new claypot and cook Yi Mee with all the vegetables I have. Though no meat, it cannot be considered as a vegetarian dish as I put shallots and egg. I only cooked one piece of Yi Mian out of the whole packet. We still have problem finishing this claypot. Think I add too much vege & tau pok.

Chocolate Mousse cake

Today, went to Josh house to collect the mixer and also learnt how to make the cake from him. When I saw his posts days ago, I like it very much and am sure my hubby will like it. So decided to learn from him at the same time. hehe...
Today is really a fruitful day for me @ Josh place, received a mixer, learnt the cake method, saw his flowers and plants, had seafood pasta made by Josh and I even had the chance to bring back the cake. Thanks, Josh!!!

Spaghetti

Ever since I started to work in the new job, today is the 1st time I experienced heavy rain after work. It had been almost a month already. Wanted to cook porridge again. I thought having porridge on a rainy day will be quite nice. BUT when I reached home, I feel like cooking spaghetti. Haiz.. This is me. Always change my mind. haha... In the end, spaghetti for dinner.
I have cabbage & carrot in the fridge and a bottle of salad cream bought by hubby. Feel like making coleslaw for him as he asked me whether I know how to make coleslaw. Frankly speaking, I do not know. haha... I was brought up in a kitchen with chinese cooking. No western cooking. I learnt how to cook spaghetti on my bintan trip. Josh taught me how to make it before. However, I did not take down the notes. I just cut the vege and put in the salad cream and little bit of salt. Taste very funny. Think I am wrong to use the salad cream. Must go and check with my shi fu later. haha :P


These are what I made for dinner 2 days ago.

Cauliflower with carrot and mushroom.

Teochew style porridge

I had lost voice for a few days. Finally, I regained back my voice today. But the cough still persists. Had no choice but to see the doctor again for the cough. Decided to cook something very simple but our favourite for dinner tonight after seeing the doctor. Moreover, he will be home late too after his table tennis game.

Curry Vegetables














Braised Chicken wings















Overall

Sigh.. and sigh...

The pooh play room had been shut down temporary for operations. However, her hands are so itchy today and wanted to bake a cake for her new colleagues. Guess what? After I put in the sugar and butter into the bowl, the cake mixer is not responding at all. It is down.... Sob.. sob... There are 250gm butter and 200gm of sugar. I really do not wish to see them ending up in the rubbish bin. It is such a big waste if I throw them away. Went over to my neighbour & see whether I can borrow one from them. BUT they do not bake so no electric mixer to lend.
Tried online at MSN but no advisor is around to assist me. I decided to use the newly purchased wire whisk and beat them manually. I remembered I beating something manually during sec school days. Its baking in the oven now. Don't know how the texture will be like. Its very tiring to beat them manually. HOPE it will turn out well.
Anyway, the master agreed to get the pooh play room a new toy. hehe... A good excuse for me to buy something. Been thinking of the mixer from KitchenAid all along. But I do not think I will get it this time round. Unlike Josh, I will not make very good use of this mixer. He can play with that toy better than me. Moreover, its so expensive. Better don't waste money. I will just get one normal electric mixer.

Too lazy or too busy??? haha...

Been too busy or too lazy to post? I also dunno. My dear hubby is on diet prog now so the pooh play room have to be shut down for operations coz no one to be my guinea pig liao. haha.. But I wanted to make something today. Will see how later. hehe...

Josh wanted to go Daiso @ IMM. I decided to bake something for my colleagues to eat since I am leaving in 2 weeks' time. Initially, wanted to bake cookies and cake today. By the time I reached home, its already 5 plus. Decided to bake the butter cake 1st. It took me almost an hour to finish baking the loaf cake. After the baking and dinner, sianz already. hehe.. so no cookies.
