I have been on and off work this past week because we were cleaning our home to make way for baby before fasting starts.
We've managed to clear loads of stuff and made way for new wardrobes for the spare room (for Husband's long coats etc) and for the kids' room, and got brand new airconditioners for all the rooms!
Ka-ching.
Our home is all set now, minus the dining table which is still a hand-me-down. Oh and our bed could do with a change too but that can wait.
Did some normal cooking and a little baking over the days, made bread pudding and this time round it turned great cos I soaked the bread in the custard for almost an hour. Soaking it prevents the crust from being too hard when baking.
Oh and I attempted apple spring rolls too! I think I prefer banana chocolate spring rolls instead.
Here's the recipe:
Apple Spring Rolls, recipe from Crazy Mom Cook
6 small apples, peeled and diced
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp orange juice

Melt the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and orange juice together. Add the apples and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the apples are soft. I think I added more than 2 tbsp butter and hence I had a runny sauce but I kept it cos it tasted AWESOME. Make normal popiah with the cooked apples and fry until golden. I have yet to use the applesauce, but it'll be great for dipping or drizzled on ice cream or on cakes! Yumyum :)
Am really excited to bake a digger cake with my boy, for his 3rd birthday. Not sure when we can find the time to do so, but I do hope we can spare some hours tomorrow. Family time has been affected now that FIL's in hospital. Have to be our family's pillar of strength for Husband to be the pillar of strength for his family.
Exactly 30 more days to EDD! :) Can't wait to see our little (or not so little) bundle of joy, H :)
