Switch Up - New Creation

Last weekend, I had some leftovers from making the guo tie... Initially, I wanted to transform them into wu xiang but since Bb Lewis was not well, I did a simpler switch up with some prompting from Daddy Sky...

Using the leftover potato wrap from yesterday's dinner, it became a Jian Bing..
Viola...
Our simple dinner of guo tie, jian bing and stir fried aparagus with XO sauce... ^^p/s: Nothing too fanciful cos BB Lewis was running a fever.. This fever is realli scary, drove his temperature highest to 40 degrees.. Constantly monitoring him with Daddy Sky.. Praying hard he can get well soon...

After Shichida Class

Since Bb Lewis was 'grounded' and Lucas did well for his poem recitation today, we had Mcdonald after class...

The happy boi...
Mommy Me taught him to eat french fries my way, ie, dip them in a ice cream sundae.. chomp chomp chomp.. ^^

HCP - - Meatballs in Cream Sauce

As usual, cooking on weekends is what I absolutely adore...

Bb Lewis was running a fever since yesterday, therefore, he did not attend his Shichida class today.. Mommy Me was at home waiting for the PT cleaner to finish cleaning the house while the boys are at their grandparents' place.

Mommy Me decided to cook the dinner in advance and keep the food in the Thermo Pot so that I do not have to multi task later when the boys are home..

Luckily I planned something simple this weekend.. Meatballs in cream sauce to go with potato wraps and butter rolls.. ^^

Ingredient

• About 15 - 20 meatballs (I use those from Ikea)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 pieces of bacon, roughly chopped
• 200ml chicken stock
• 250gm potatoes, cut into chunks
• 100gm cream cheese
• 100gm sweetcorn kernels
• 1 green pepper
• 1 shallot, quatered
  
• 2 small carrots, cut into smaller chunks
• Mixed herbs
• Garlic powder
• Dried Parsley
  
• salt & pepper
  

Method

1. Heat butter in pan and brown the meatballs. Remove and set aside. Using the same pan, toss in bacon and shallots. Fry till crispy.
2. Add the potatoes and 100ml of stock, cover and cook for 10mins.
3. Add the carrots and cook for another 5 mins.
4. Add the corn, green pepper, the remaining 100ml of stock.
5. Let it simmer for 5 mins before adding the cream cheese.
   
6. Add the mixed herbs, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
7. Turn off the fire after 5 mins.
8. Serve hot with pasta or bread rolls.. ^^

10 Years

Time realli flies...
I cannot believe it that Daddy Sky and I have been married for 10 years..
That's 1 decade!!!
Of course, night celebrations are out at the moment and so we had a simple lunch @ MBS - db Bistro Moderne...
Another restaruant by a celebrity chef. lolx.. just last month when I asked Daddy Sky guess where I am bringing him today.. Without much hesitation, he guessed this place... =.='''
Some days I wonder if this is the result of spending 10 years together, he can read me like a book...

We enjoyed our lunch very much at the restaurant and service was good.. ^^
The lunch cost me $165.. but it was a real great experience..

p/s: In case you are wondering why I paid for the lunch... ;p Cos Daddy Sky got me a real expensive gift... lolx... but it wont be posted here...

Anyway, he remembered to get me flowers... ^^
Daddy Sky,

Thank you for your love, trust, support & tolerance... Today marks the day where we have spent 10 years of our lives together and let's look forward to many more years ahead as I continue to annoy you for the rest of our lives.. ;p

Bb Lewis is 10 months old!!!

Today marks the day that Bb Lewis turns 10 months!!! Woots... time realli flies...
I can still remember the day he arrived so suddenly and in a blink of my eye, he is now nearing his first birthday... ^^
We brought him out this morning to have breakfast and thereafter did some grocery shopping at Great World City...
He is such a cheerful boi...
Time to start planning his FIRST birthday celebration... cracking my brain... ;(

Guo Tie

Mommy Me loves to cook... lolx...
Frankly I dunno who haven figured this out by now...
My new experiment over this weekend was to make guo tie...
Was inspired to make these due to a couple of posts I saw in the Happy Call group...

Check out my 20 guo tie...
Recipe is adapted from here:
http://wokkingmum.blogspot.com/2012/02/pot-stickers.html

Basically, I added black fungus since I could not find water chestnuts.. And adjusted the seasonings too... And I found this particular type of skin to make shanghai dumplings without the alkaline taste from Giant...

Results were cool...
I love this... Left half of the marinaded minced meat.. Shall add some twist to it and check out my next creation... ^^
