Dinner On Another Dazy, Hazy Day

What’s For Dinner Tonight?
Guess what we had for dinner tonight? It’s a homey dinner but the price is that of a fine dine dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Yes beef steak… but not the regular beef. Look carefully at the marbled appearance… It’s Kobe beef, all the way from Hong Kong! The MIL hand carried the Kobe beef…
Living Skills Training For Kids
One of the activities for Sherilyn during this school holiday is living skills training 🙂 She may be pretty clumsy, impulsive (she drives me nuts with her impulsiveness) and accident-prone, but when it comes to cooking, I can see that she is trying really hard NOT to be what she is 😀 As she flipped…
