Breakfasts

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I'm one who can't live without breakfast. I have no idea how some don't have any appetite and just skip breakfast altogether!

I've been lazy in preparing breakfast again, and since school closed, there's only one stall opened here and practically everything is fried, and/or laden with coconut milk. The tipping point was yesterday, when the man at the stall charged a higher price for the exact same thing we ordered the day before! And when I mentioned that why is there a difference, he totally ignored us.

So here's to more homemade breakfasts again, and I have to either sacrifice my sleep, or be more efficient and somehow find breakfasts that can be made in a jiffy. Yesterday we bought minced meat, butterhead lettuce, eggs, vegetables and smoked salmon with peppers. The ingredients are enough to make sabsuka, egg sandwiches or wraps, aglio olio, and if I have more time, quiches.

Today I woke up later than usual, so it was a hurried egg sandwich. Mine was more fancy than the Husband's because he's not food-adventurous like that, so he got the usual bread-sunny side up-chili sauce-vege combo. That too, he removed part of the lettuce cos it's too "fresh". WHAAAAT.

Mine was bread, cheese, sour cream, scrambled eggs, butterhead lettuce and 2 slices of smoked salmon. I like the saltiness that the cheese and smoked salmon brought to the otherwise muak egg, and I can have this again tomorrow! Or I'll try some other smoked salmon combo. If I wake up earlier tomorrow, maybe smoked salmon aglio olio that I can pack for lunch too.

Excited!

I really really hope to not fall into the lazy trap again. Seems like I'm always doing that. But Dec hols means I have no choice but to make my own breakfast haha. Right now I'm pretty full from all that egg. You can do this!

Bubur Asyura

Finally made this! Have been wanting to do so cos this porridge has loads of nuts. Not exactly a healthy porridge though since there's coconut milk. I already have most of the ingredients and had the time, so why not! I realise there's different types of bubur Asyura but I settled for the one closest to us, the Johor version . There's a lottt of ingredients, so I'll list in order of which goes into the pot first. I also boiled the mutton a day earlier so I can collect and throw away the fat from the stock. Bubur Asyura Saute: 1 stalk lemongrass 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 3 cardamoms 5 cloves 2 big onions, sliced 1 inch ginger, sliced 3 garlic, sliced 10 cups water (half is mutton stock, half water) 1 cup rice, washed 300g mutton, already cooked and shredded 1 tbsp soto powder 1/3 cup dhal, soaked in water for 10 min 1/3 cup peanuts, washed 1 1/2 carrots, diced 1 can chickpeas, washed 1 can kacang pool, washed 1/2 can sweet corn, washed 1 small box coconut milk Heat o...

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...

Baby Mop

I can't seem to get my entire house clean every weekend, and I am seriously considering this as part of my house cleaning regime: I don't know where to get one, but I can always make one. I saw those yellow cloth thingy at sold at CK store and I'll just fix it to Junior's unwanted rompers. And off he goes mopping the floor with me. Mopping the floor is a must now, especially with lift upgrading going on, the floor is quite dusty. And whenever I hint to Husband to help me mop, he offers to get those weekend helpers instead -_-" Not exactly the answer I was looking for!! Okay. This shall be the project in the coming week! FYI this is not child abuse, this is called getting baby accustomed to housework.
