Five more days to go before I go under the knife. The clock is ticking away…. This will be my fourth surgery, of which three were C-section deliveries and one was a laproscopic ovarian drilling. The laproscopic myomectomy surgery that I am scheduled to go through will be performed at the same hospital that I…
Today marks the 8th anniversary of my 3-week nightmarish stay at GMC Penang with Cass. She went in for a Uretheral Reimplantation surgery on 5 May 20o9. Something awfully awry happened during the surgery. There was a complication and she was operated on 2 weeks later, after many X-rays, ultrasound scans, a CT-Scan and a…
Our cozy weeknight dinner at home with simple yet yummy dishes: Sauteed organic broccoli with garlic, fish balls and carrot slices; tomato omelette; Happy Call Pan-fried ribeye steak. On the foreground are pork ribs and ‘phang kor’ from the soup. ‘Phang kor’ is a seed that looks and tastes very similarly to ginkgo and it…
Drama Queen likes bringing home cooked food to school. This year, she has to stay back in school every day for UPSR exam preparation classes. When there are extra dishes and rice from dinner, she will keep them in the fridge. The next morning, she will wake up 5 minutes earlier to reheat the food…
“What’s for lunch today?” This is the question that the mil and I would ask each other every morning. Whenever we shrug our shoulders implying a non-verbal “no to outside food”, she would be quick to suggest home cooked food. Then she would stride to the kitchen to defrost meat and hurriedly whip up a…
Friday evenings are reserved for the big girl. After picking her up from the Math tuition center, we would jaunt off to the pasar malam if it doesn’t rain. She’s a pretty simple girl who finds gratification taking long walks at the pasar malam, stopping at all her favorite stalls to get her favorite street…
My mission to increase my red blood cells continues… Each day, I eat either a handful of dried red dates (about 4 or 5) or drink a few cups of red dates + black dates tonic. In addition, I eat an egg every morning and season the egg with half a teaspoon of organic blackstrap molasses….
I created this new dish for dinner yesterday! Tomyam pork is so easy to cook and so yummy that you would think I am not revealing all the steps and ingredients. Once you have all the ingredients, this dish is a total child’s play. Even Drama Queen can whip this out on her own. She did…
It’s been a while since I last cooked mushroom pasta. I am not a fan at all of anything creamy with milk / whipped cream cooked into a savoury dish. So is the big girl. Only Drama Queen likes creamy pastas, especially Carbonara. This time, I decided to be a tad adventurous and added avocado…
Before I share what I cooked again, I’d like to share with you some of my many accounts in my Journey To Fitness. Just in case my posts on food and nothing-to-shout-about dishes bore you to brink of death 😀 All food and no exercise spells trouble for your body and I kid you not. Exercise…
Dishes on Mondays are normally kept simple and sweat-free. I keep them simple as I know I will most likely be bogged down with work after the weekend and Monday Blues. Today’s dinner consists of grilled chicken and grilled salmon head. I cranked up the oven and in went the 2 trays of meat. While…
Here’s the home-cooked dinner dished out with lotsa love from me for the girls yesterday 🙂 Kids-friendly curry minced pork with potatoes, tomatoes, coriander, onions and lots of curry leaves and kafir lime leaves. It is kids-friendly as the spiciness level is very mild. And it is free from bones. Pork used is Berkcious pork,…
