Home-cooked Dinner – 18 December 2015

It’s fridge-clearing day every Friday and here’s what I dished out today…

No automatic alt text available.

ABC soup – Sakura chicken (breast and drumsticks) with carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, lots of onions, pepper corn and sweet corns.

Sauteed organic brinjal with ‘tau cheong’ sauce, minced meat, tomato and organic ‘lai park’ veggie.  Used a little ABC soup to give this dish a little sauce.

Sweet corn rice.

This could be the last meal that I cook for this year. We’ll be back to the land of pomelos and crunchy fat bean sprouts tomorrow and will return to KL  next week!

For the first time in more than a decade, we’ll get to celebrate my elder brother’s birthday together on Winter Solstice Day. The girls will get to roll ‘tong yuen’ (rice balls) again. The last time we did that in Ipoh was 3 years ago. As well, we’ll get to celebrate my niece’s birthday a day before her papa’s birthday on 21st Dec. Back in KL, we’ll be celebrating the hubby’s birthday on 30th Dec.

December is a month lined up with birthday celebrations of loved ones with lots of over-indulgence in good food and merriment. It’s also a month that I lax on my exercise regime. But worry not I am, come Jan 2016, I am very sure that I will be stressed out with 3 kids starting school again. When the kids have school, my exercise regime is orderly.  And my zombified days will begin again come 4 Jan 2016 🙁

I have mixed feelings on school starting again. I’m happy that I am ‘forced’ to swim again at 6:30am every day and have my me time in the morning, yet I shudder at the thought of not getting 7-8 hours again. It’s tough to get by each day with only 4-5 hours of sleep. It’s gonna be worse next year as Alycia has to attend full day school even on Saturdays, which means I lose out on sleep even on Saturdays! 🙁

Well, I think I am going to make a New Year Resolution. It’s a tough one. And that’s to force myself to hit the bed by 10pm every night so that I get 6.5 hours of sleep each day. I know life is going to be really mundane like that by oh well, I have to sacrifice something in order to gain something more important. I’ll be fine 🙂  Happy weekend world!
