FollowHubby had an hour to squeeze out from his hectic schedule today to have breakfast with me this morning. We went to Sixteen, a cafe located behind his shop for a quick bite before he headed off to a church to attend the funeral of his old pal, and then to his client’s place. Lunch…

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…

Our Meals
We hardly cook elaborate meals these days. Ever since Maria stopped coming three weeks ago because of bad morning sickness (she’s expecting her 2nd baby), we have not had any other helper coming in. It’s manageable without a helper if we don’t cook. We get takeout or order from Shopee Food on most days and…

Today has been another hectic day for hubs and his kitchen crew. They prepped over 300 burgers today and will be whipping up 300 more tomorrow for a client’s 2-day event. In addition, they cooked sambal, curries, bolognese sauce, deep fried potato wedges and marinated a whole lamb for BBQ tonight. I brought Cass to…
School Holidays
Another busy week whizzed past me in a blink of an eye. This week I’ve been extra busy as I’ve to cook and accompany the mil to the hospital for her post-cataract-surgery follow-up checkup, on top of school runs and my freelance work. Meals at home this week have been mostly takeout and very simple…

Another week zoomed past as swiftly as the wind. The past one week I’d been busy arranging for a cataract surgery for the mil at Pantai Hospital. So many things needed to be done from finding her a Chinese ophthalmologist for ease of conversing to arranging for her medical claim from the insurance company, going…

. But thankfully the infected resident has only mild symptoms and is now isolating at home. The number of Covid cases in our country has been dipping for the past 3 days. However, the numbers are still very high at over 19,000 cases…

Covid-19 Situation At Our Condo A day after Maria was tested positive for Covid, her supervisor was also tested positive. Our condo’s management office arranged for KKM health workers to be dispatched to our condo to perform RT-PCR swab test on all the office staffers, guards and general workers. And the result: 3 guards and…

Home-cooked Meals By Our Teenage Chef
These are the delectables cooked by Sherilyn on Sunday and Monday. Sunday – Ratatouille. Monday – grilled chicken and baked smashed potatoes. Both dishes were decadent. If you like French fries, try making baked smashed potatoes. They’re healthier (and crispy too) and so much more yummier. Littered with herbs, black pepper, olive oil and a…

We had some excess food from hubby’s shop today and my thought immediately went to Maria. I’ve been wanting to send her food ever since we told her to stop coming to our house temporarily until the number of Covid cases go down and stabilizes. We have a very vulnerable folk at home and do…

Our country will go into a total lockdown for the second time effective 1 June 2021. All business sectors will be closed except for 17 essential sectors. It looks like Sherilyn and Cass will continue to have online learning for at least 2 or 3 more months. And hubby’s catering business will continue to bear…

Alycia has finally tendered her resignation from the international pre-school and after-school care center. Her last day of work will be 31 May 2021. She’ll spend her time working on her You Tube channel and most probably find another temp job before starting college in September 2021. In between, she’ll be having driving lessons. She’ll…
Korokke (Japanese Potato Croquettes)
Sherilyn made Korokke (Japanese Potato Croquettes) for dinner today. They were super fattening but how can I resist when they’re so so delish and crispy?! I whacked quite a bit and then felt super guilty. All these will slowly come to an end when she goes back to school next week . We’ve all enjoyed…
