While cooking dinner yesterday, I have been thinking hard what I should be cooking for lunch and dinner today. It is not easy to please 3 fussy brats OK. The oldest brat is the hardest to please. She is a hardcore rice pot. To please her, I need to give her rice and 2 dishes. Brat #2 and #3 are pretty easy to please but they ain’t no fans of rice. So on most days, I will have a hard time deciding on who to please.
Yesterday I decided to please all 3 brats. I decided to reheat some cooked Japanese rice in the freezer for brat #1 and to boil some Japanese citrus noodles for brat #2 and #3.
But when brat #1 saw the plate of delish noodles, she decided against having rice. SO, I had to put the container of rice back into the freezer, eessssh, what fickle-minded girl!
This is what we had for dinner yesterday.
Morikawa Hand-made Iyokan Citrus Somen Noodles (the MIL bought from Japan) with a one-pot quick-stew dish composed of chicken, red and yellow bell pepper, baby french beans, loads of big onions (which added so much flavor to the dish) and Bunashimeji mushrooms.
The 3 ravenous brats polished off this big pot of colorful chicken dish! 😀
Tonight, I am going to please MYSELF. Since I am still having a strep throat, I will be cooking chicken porridge. Brat #2 and #3 will probably accept the porridge but brat #1 has already contorted her face in protest this morning when I told her that we are going to have porridge tonight BUT being a good daughter, she said “oh ok, just make sure that the porridge is really watery and the rice still looks like rice in water ok?”

haha you got a special order from precious baby. I really wonder how the porridge look like. Really watery and the rice still looks like rice in water??? kekeke
Speedy recovery to you ya.
Wow, the colourful chicken dish looks really delicious which should be anybody’s favourite. You’re becoming a very good and innovative / creative cook. Wonder from whom you got those genes? Could be you’ve been exposed to all the good hotel & restaurant food, so get all the ideas… Anyhow, I’m so very proud of you. You’ve proven to be very capable when you have to whip up something for your beloved kids all by yourself, without any help. Congrats! Be assured that your labour of love will definitely be appreciated, and remembered, especially when your kids grow up in future…
Your food looks really good. I realized that I have similar kitchen pots with you. I have the same Corningware design with you. I also have the same Thermos Shuffle (my favourite too) and the Thermos flask container which you daughter has to keep hot food – but mine is a different pattern and colour (I used to feed my son with porridge in that Thermos flask container when he was younger). Great minds think alike 🙂
Vicky, let me post the pic of the watery rice porridge in my blog soon!
Mum, thanks! I think I inherited those good genes from you & dad 😉
Joanne, high 5 to you! 😀
