For the past one week, I’ve been sitting in front of my computer typing away from morning till night with short breaks in between to cook and chauffeur the girls. Since early last week, I’ve churned out over 30 articles, most of which must be submitted to the advertiser within 24 hours. On some days, I have to dish out 5 articles in a day on topics that I have no frigging knowledge on like motorbikes, hybrid bikes or truck claws and snow chains 😂 That’s when I have to do a little research and reading. I told the girls that this feels like doing a short thesis 😄 I love it that after I’ve submitted a post, I gain new knowledge as well.
My brain is half fried. I’m burnt out to a crisp and stressed out. But it’s good stress and I’m not complaining. It’s God’s blessings. I am very thankful that I am still able to earn in USD during such times when the global economy is bleak. This is the eleventh year that I’m still blessed with something that I love to do. I love it that at the end of each month, I multiply my earnings by four when I convert the earnings from USD to RM! Praise God. The earnings are not a lot but enough for me to buy what I want every month and keep some for savings. And no, I don’t mean Chanel bags and pink diamonds ok.
OK, back to kitchen talk! Thankfully I now have a Philips Pressure Cooker (PPC) to help lessen my burden and cut cooking time.
Lunch on one of the week days last week ~ minced pork porridge with cabbage, dried oysters, carrots and sweet corns, seasoned with scallions, seasoned Korean seaweed and my favorite Marmite:
Porridge was cooked in our jar rice cooker.
That same night, I cooked braised chicken in soy sauce and Chinese spices in the PPC:
Sauteed organic cabbage with garlic, a dash of English curry powder and eggs:
I love it that while the chicken drumsticks are cooking in the PPC, I can stir-fry the cabbage in the wok on the stove. More time is saved.
The girls loved the braised chicken drumsticks!
I cooked enough chicken so that Cass could have it for lunch the next day. I just needed to blanch some organic spinach ramen to go with the braised chicken:
Fruits for Cass. Despite having so much to do, for a moment, my hands felt itchy and I started to carve out flowers from the kiwi fruits 😁

it’s a blessing to have projects coming in to earn USD. I haven’t got a pressure cooker but I like to use thermal pot when I am not able be around to watch the cooking, I just bring my cooking to a boil for several minutes and put the whole pot into the thermal warmer. The dish would be ready when I come home.
Oh yes the Thermal warmer is also a very helpful kitchen equipment. We have one too for our soups!
