March 2013

A good friend of ours sent me a picture of Mango flower tarts.  I tried making them to bless a young man from church who underwent colon cancer.  Thank GOD he is recovering well :)

The two guys in my family love seafood.  Bought these NZ mussels and tried cooking them with liqueur.  Supposed to cook them with white wine but I am not one who will follow the recipe to the tee;) As long as they enjoyed it, all is well :)

 

Being a Teochew, I love to eat Teochew porridge.  Just some simple side dishes and plain porridge.  Who needs an elaborate meal ;)

Used this Yunnan pot to experiment cooking with Lotus Roots, Dried Scallop, Chicken and Carrot.

A hearty soup for the family. 

My husband's 2nd MRT trip in 20+ years.  Like taking him on an excursion ;)

I have made so many buns that I have forgotten who did I bake this for and what flavour ;(  Most likely Ham and Cheese ;)

One of my favourites - Thailand Seedless Guava with finely chopped lemon peel ;0)

This is an interesting picture that I took while in JB with Peter.  We were "hunting" for food that day and we saw this butcher on a bike parked outside a provision shop.  So I approached him and asked if I could take a picture of him.  He even combed his hair and posted for me :)

Had some left over pecans so I made a simple Caramelised Pecan Teacake for breakfast.

 

We attended a Couple's Marriage Retreat as an Anniversary event instead of going overseas for a short holiday.  Thank GOD, for all these years together, we have travelled to many, many countries and we feel that this retreat is more important than another holiday in another country.  We had a blessed time and got to know some friends :) 

Since Eliza has been so thoughtful in sending us flowers from her own sales proceeds (through the Internet sales of her drawings) for our anniversary and even sent a parcel with photos, cards and notes, we decided to treat her with a gift card from Mark & Spencer for her to buy and eat things she could not have afforded with her monthly budget. 

Bought this petite square pan and love using it :)  Baked Japanese Cream Cheese Cake with it.  No cutting, just take a piece and enjoy it.  Will make this for Eliza when she comes home for her summer vacation :)

I love this taro with fish soup. Yum Yum :)  A simple meal for the family. 

Never say die, but always try.  Have been trying to make wassant but because I do not follow the receipes to the tee, I have not got the shape I wanted yet.  Thus I baked thsese in the petite square pan.  They are just as tasty :)
