Of Nutrition, Weird Mothers & An Accident

My stomach is getting a lot of attention from me. Haha. Easily bloated, hunger pangs, hungry very often, but when presented with food, sometimes I can be so full I can't eat so much, or I'm so hungry I can eat like a bear. And I still want my Korean strawberries! Found some at Cold Storage Bugis yesterday, and they look big and unsweet. I want the ones I had from NTUC Toa Payoh! Haha :p

Am quite conscious of the food I'm eating these days, to make sure I get enough nutrients. Yesterday I was worrying if I have enough protein and iron cos I don't think I'm eating enough meat. While I was busy calculating how much iron I'm consuming, I realised I am eating multi-vitamins! Turns out, those yucky pills have already met my daily iron requirement! Haha! So what's left is calcium and Omega-3, but then again I've read that too much fish isn't good too because of the high mercury content in most fish. Bummer. And I've found a food that covers BOTH calcium and Omega-3! Tuna with bones! Haha! That should be easy. I should make breakfast of canned sardines: drain off the tomato puree, mash it and dry-fry it with scrambled eggs and chilli! Yummy! I could eat loads of those! Yupyup :) Shall do that soon!

Oh and I'm hunting for iron-free long dresses! Cheap ones too. It's quite hard to find :( Really regretted not buying like 15 dresses instead of three when I was in London. It's cheaper and better there! Sigh. If we do go London this July, I am soooo gonna shop!

On another note. The show Toddlers and Tiaras should be banned. No no. The mothers featured in this show should be jailed. What kind of mother would force a child as young as two to be dolled up and enter beauty pageants. Worse! Eyebrows waxed against the poor girl's will. Ouch! These mothers should be banned from having any more daughters.

The recent death of a motorcyclist affected quite a few acquaintances because they sort of knew him. The deceased just got married five months ago. Got me and FFL thinking what we'd do if our other halves were to pass on so suddenly.

Very very sad to think about it actually. I can't imagine going on without The Husband. He has become such a part of me, it's hard to part.

Okay I shall not think about it! Too depressing.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
