Engage your kids in cooking

-
Well cooking a meal is at times challenging. However, in the midst of it all, it's quite fun to engage your kids in the preparation phase of cooking.

Today, Josh helped me in the washing of the vegetables. He also asked me to chop garlic for the vegetables. Later, I told him to help me stir the eggs together with the spring onions. We also had a dish of petai and I asked him to help me see if there are worms in every petai that I have chopped. In this process, this will instill cooking interest in him. And on the other hand, he will know what I usually do in the kitchen!

Here are the dinner dishes!
1. Fried Egg with Spring Onions
2. Pork Leg Soup with Peanuts and Mushroom
3. Stir fried Shanghai Green with Mushroom
4. Oven baked salmon
5. Petai with Chilli

And Josh ate by himself! He straightaway took the quarter piece of egg and put on his place. And he started to munch the food with the rice. And he ate the vegetables and the soup. Kate loved the soup! Ha! Everyone enjoyed the dinner and I am so happy that it's a happy meal after all!!

Certainly, I will engage more cooking with my children! Kate is still young, so not so soon for her :).

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
