Today is one of those days when I feel really bleh! Just tired and no zest. Throat still hurts and body feels like I have carried tons of weight yesterday. I have been telling the girls almost everyday that I feel freaking tired. Not sure if it’s caused by a deficiency in iron, my low blood pressure, PMS or combination of all or is it because I have been coughing throughout the nite for the past few days, thus have interrupted and insufficient sleep. No point complaining as I can’t get an MC anyway. The least I can do is to pack food for lunch and dinner but I am sick of packing the same old food that is available at the nearby shops. So soldier on lor, what to do. And like I always complain to the girls when they are bratty and make me climb up the wall: “My job is worst than a maid and slave. At least a maid and slave get paid and get rest days. I DON’T!”
Despite having to face the blue devils and having had a hectic day, I managed to whip up a nice dish for the girls yesterday.
Tangy turmeric chicken fillet – the chicken fillet were marinated with lime juice (which is a natural meat tenderizer because of the acid from the juice), turmeric powder (I used McCormic), freshly pound turmeric (thanks to my dad for the pound turmeric) and cooked with lots of shallots and garlic. Alycia’s comment of “oooh, smells so delicious and looks like a restaurant dish!” seemed to have defeated some of the blue devils in me.
Our dinner last night:
By the way, I found a way of cooking 3 over easy eggs or wallet egg (荷包蛋) at one go on the same pan. It requires some practice though when it comes to separating the eggs and flipping them. It is the kids’ constant request for wallet egg that I tried frying 3 eggs on the same pan at the same time, to save time. The eggs will turn out quite well on a Tefal-coated pan, albeit you will have to compromise on the shape, as shown in the above picture. My kids are A-OK with the shape as long as their wallet egg still tastes like wallet egg 😀
