Happy Pizza time

Image
Kids said they wanted pizza so I woke up earlier to prepare the pizza dough and let it have more time to proof for 2hrs. I have friends asking how do I made the pizza dough so thin. thickness of the dough depends how you roll your pizza crust. we like it thinner, even when I made it thin Julian will still left some of the crust not touch. So to me doesnt really matter cos he will clear the top 1st. hahaha.. I will still end up some wastage. Topping is easy, it is really about free play. The kids like ham and mushroom so I only add those then top with cheese and fresh oregan herb. Bake in the oven for 10 - 15 mins. That is our lunch.

Dinner

Image
Dinner ordered by kids. I read many compliment of my dinner in FB. Thank you friends. I am just another mother and wife who wanted the kids and husband to eat well and food I cooked. Janelle requested for chicken soup but she doesnt want herbs that will make the soup taste bitter so I chose a few simple herbs to add into the soup. Simmer it in my therma pot for more than 2 hrs and serve using this classic china pot. I didnt chop up my chicken, place the whole chicken in and hubby was quite impressed. It was like have soup in the restaurant. Good vision effect create appetite.

Bacon Cheddar Beer Bread

Image
I have a few can of Anchor beer in my fridge that my brother brought over when he held his baby 1st month celebration at my place early this year and it still sitting in my house. I know there is beer bread recipe out in internet but just didnt action on it cos my success rate of baking bread usually only 30%. But since my PinKA is back home with me my confident level is higher.

Grace at the dining table

Looking around for a nice grace to be said before meal. I came out a version for the family. There is a buddism grace that I need to find out. It is not my or Law family practise to say grace before meal, to us it sound very christain and we quite reject it. However I was very wrong, infact all family should teach their kids to say grace before meal. As parents, we must instilled the graciousness in children so they will not take things for grated. Just saying thank you to people who help you is not enough. We must always thanks people who has indirectly help us in one way or another. Let begin by saying a simple grace before meal to thanks whoever have to help and provide us directly and indirectly. Most importantly, our Mother Earth who nurture the earth to continue with Eco Cycle. Thank you Mother Earth for nurturing the vegetable and animals. For every grain of rice, vegetable and meat we are thankful for thousands of workers. For every drop of rain we are thankful for Mo...

Kueh chap

Image
Doli kueh chap is a famous kueh chap stall at old airport road. We love the flavour n infact cant agree if others will be better than them ... so far.. We dun eat often cos there is always long q but the stall owner n assistants are fast to prepare, serve and pack the food so q usually move very fast.

All the best Jan.

We are already very proud of her to make it to 1st round. She came back telling me that the paper was hard but I told it was fine as long as she had done her best. She is already the top 10% in Singapore P3 that make it into round 2. Top 4% of her cohort. I cant say I want her to stop her, I want her to make it but to her best ability. God, please grant Jan with the clarity of mind, wisdom and calmness when going through her papers. I smsed her when it was dismissal time from her papers, just to check that she met FIL who coming to fetch her home. I asked her about the paper and she replied me "HARD"! Haha. I should have expected cos the questions are not what she will find in his textbook or assessment books. I told her never mind as long as she put in her best ability. She then post me one question from the paper. Bus A (something) 1hr Bus B (something) 50 min They meet at the terminal at 1pm. When will they meet again? Any answer? It took me a while to fla...
