Today’s Lunch ~ 22 March 2025

Today’s lunch was oven-grilled drumettes again ?. We’ve been eating drumettes for a few days this week as they’re on sale at the supermarket. I guess we’re done eating drumettes for the time being. Next week I’m going to cook fish. My menu for Monday is pomfret fish cooked with Portuguese fish curry paste with…

Air-Fried Chicken Drummets – A Flavorful and Easy Meal

Chicken drummets (free from antibiotics and hormones) are currently on sale at my neighborhood supermarket, and I’ve been stocking up on them to air fry and grill. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also incredibly easy to prepare. Alycia and Sherilyn love them just as much as I do, but Cass, being the fussy…

A Once-a-Year Treat: Cod Fish

Last week, during our Chinese New Year trip back to Ipoh, my dad gifted me two enormous pieces of cod fish, each weighing at least 500 grams. Cod fish is a rare indulgence for us, as it’s rather pricey in KL. My dad makes it a point to buy this special treat for us once…

Random Happenings at Home This Week

This week has been a whirlwind of activity and emotions in our home, with each day bringing its own unique challenges and moments of reflection. Sherilyn has been pushing herself to the limit, working tirelessly on her architecture assignments. The models she had to build demanded hours of meticulous effort, leaving her with barely three…

Monday, 15 July 2024

The hole where the viral wart used to be is healing well ?. Bleeding is minimal and there’s not much pain when I walk given that I am still tip-toeing on my left foot. I am hopeful that I can start to exercise again with brisk walking by next week. Lunch and dinner for everyone…

Friday Dinner

Cass has figure skating class every Friday. She always eats something that’s not too heavy and low in carbs, yet healthy and yummy before the class. She then skates for almost 5 hours. She’s lucky she has a health freak mommy who supports her low-carbs meals and preps them for her ? As usual, Cass…

Random Updates

I have been busy the past week – with work and house chores. As Alycia can only use one hand temporarily, I have to do almost everything for her, from prepping her food to washing all her dishes, washing her water bottle and filling up water for her, cut her fruits, do her laundry, and…

Cooking With Tennis Elbow

With a right hand that’s not 100% functional as I cannot lift heavy things, cooking has to be reduced to the bare minimum. Maria can only come to help me once or max twice a week now as she has other houses to go to, on top of her full-time job as a cleaner. She’s…

1 November 2023 ~Tuesday Meals

Today is the first day of the second last month of 2023! Soon we’ll be seeing Christmas decor in the shopping malls. It’s scary to see how fast time is flying by.

A Relaxing Meal Week

This week was a pleasant departure from the usual kitchen duties as I savored a variety of delightful dishes without having to slog in the kitchen. With food from hubby’s kitchen gracing our table almost every day, the burden of cooking was significantly lightened. In addition, Sherilyn, was home for a few days as her…

Throwback Food Snaps

Sherilyn whipped up a big tray of grilled vegetables on Monday morning to make a simple Bibimbap bento to bring to work. I ate some of the grilled veggies for my lunch and hubs ate the remaining the next day. This is my favorite kind of meal and I can eat this every day. Our…

Saturday Night Dinner

Hubs is in Kota Kinabalu for 3 nights. Since it’s a Saturday night and we’re too lazy to go out, Shopee Food it is! After waiting for 40 minutes with no update that a driver has been assigned, I knew that the order would be cancelled. It’s the first day of Hari Raya and as…
