[pinkbunny]

hi girls. today very kut lat ah, cook lunch and dinner! had friends who came over to play MJ and they had lunch. dinner was me alone:

chicken macaroni! very nice the soup. blanch chicken bones (also add some with meat one) then simmer for half an hour with garlic (smashed), a few pieces of ginger, white peppercorns and dried scallops. before eating, remove the meat and shread to add to your bowl

dinner: fried fish, steamed meat with giam nng, the leftover soup from lunch + i added lao huang gua. very nice! of course i didn't finish everything la.

alamak.... the photos cannot upload. show you girls another time! have a nice weekend! (i'm working tomorrow. KNS)

 

[yongee86]

hey hey...

here's my lunch for weekends.

sat lunch: chicken stew, brocoli, mushroom rice (mushroom mix bought from tokyo)

sun lunch: curry chicken, miso soup with raddish and carrots

now can feel going to have sore throat soon.. think too much heaty food recently...

pink, not too sure about the ang bao for parents leh..

 

[schnauzie]

ah pink - the fried rice is fry luncheon meat first then scoop out, fry garlic, chilli, mushroom then add rice..fry until ok liao throw in luncheon meat, stir well and serve.

alot of hair salon got this treatment is part rebonding and part treatment so hair is not too flat and hair is meimei at the same time. i did this at a salon call Yess at cineleisure b4 .over there they call it 3pro. find it GOOD.

u very kulat leh..even fren also cook for them..ur lunch recipe sounds good..i don like macroni so i will replace with kwey tiao or something.

AP matter - have been giving my parents, grandparents AP since i started work..on top of the food/monie i give them for CNY.. so married liao even more so have to..but when marry liao need to give my sis too.

ANT - ur meals look very you shui zhun leh..yummy..mushroom rice mix nice or not"? of nice next time i go and buy. curry chicken looks yummilicious too!!!!

[pinkbunny]

morning girls. i'm at home today!

on leave later go mustafa. my fav haha. then kickboxing then ah huat to the vet

he so poor thing, i think his armpits got infection. or maybe it's just that i never got to see his armpits last time before changing the cage, then now he allow me to see... understand bo?

sch, i wanted to make fried rice just now but realised no luncheon meat. KNS. already prepare everything. so in the end just eating leftovers and heat up sardines. so clever, now my whole microwave inside got sardine gravy...

ant, curry recipe please!!!

about AP - okie.... dunno how much to give though. and siblings also...

 

[ckw1011]

bad morning. been feeling grouchy & sleepy, + now hv 2 work on the stupid management report, figures & more figures, fark!!

heard some sad news from a col. apparantly someone committed suicide at ibm building tis morning & died. it's very sad tt he/she actually chose 2 cum 2 work 2 die (i'm assuming tt he/she is a staff), cld it b stress at work or ...
the other thing is it is scary becoz i lunch there quite often

the building is juz next to my opic

 

[schnauzie]

lina - thats a real sad story to start a blue monday ;( do u know that an average of 1 person commit suicide by jumping off the building every day?

pink - i love mustafa too! what do u normally buy there?

ant - post the pic of the mushroom mix ok?

 

[pinkbunny]

oh no.... that sounds horrible!!! sch, really? gulp. terrible....

there was once when i was very young i was staying at my granny's house at henderson. in the middle of the night i heard a very loud thump. i dunno why but i thought someone had thrown a washing machine downstairs. in the morning i saw policemen and a black bag :S

mustafa - i'd like to look at bedsheets today. plain ones. if dun have then i go aussino or what later. ikea ones dun have bolster case. angmohs don't use bolsters i think

ok here you go, photos i promised:

as you can see, the SIA tablecloth is still around, just that i had a teacloth on top of it for the macaroni pic haha

 

[skylar]

yawn... very tired ah..

Wahhh.. Pink.. u on leave today ah.. so shiok! aiyoh wat happened to Ah Huat man! armpit infection ah? u got buy those powder for him to dust bor?

I also like to shop at Mustafa but the smell sometimes drive me bonkers!!

Lina..
aiyoh.. is that ur old ofc there or wat? IBM?

 

[pinkbunny]

yeah on leave today cos i worked full day yesterday! dunno leh... like pink pink like that his armpit. maybe it's nothing, like i said i only saw it recently. maybe it was already like that last time but we couldn't see. anyway, bring to vet also good la. can check up. can bring him gai gai hehe

 

[yongee86]

hmmm.. it is quite depressing to hear about suicidal news on a mon! i heard tat in japan, alot of teenagers or working adults will choose to commit suicide at the trains instead. coz the idea of gg to school or work and gana bullied is too depressing so they killed themselves.

mustafa is definitely not my place. only been there once and tat's about it!

anyway to share this new cookie recipe:

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients
1-¾ cups flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1-cup butter, softened
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (Geoff substituted 1 extra cup of chocolate chips)
1-cup semisweet chocolate chips

How to Make at Home
· Preheat your oven to 350°F.
· Combine the flour and baking soda, set aside.
· Using an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add vanilla and both sugars and beat until fluffy. Beat in the egg.
· At low speed, beat in cocoa, then milk. With a wooden spoon, mix in dry ingredients just until blended. If using the nuts, stir them in with all the chocolate chips.
· Using a teaspoon, measure out rounded teaspoons for each cookie and place them onto a nonstick or foil-lined baking sheet. If you have more than one baking sheet and room in your oven, use them too.
· Bake the cookies in the oven for about 12 to 13 minutes. When done, remove and cool slightly before removing them from the baking sheets.
· This recipe should make about 3 dozen “perfect†chocolate chip cookies.

may try it sometime this wkend or next wk!

morning chio bus! super no mood to work today sia. just came back from leave, super weather to sleep, some more boss not around.

yesterday the clinic ask me for owner's name and pet's name. i quite shy to say 'his name is ah huat'. some more is ang moh vet :S

he let her carry him and feed him the medicine. i jealous cos he let the nurse carry but he always try to run away from me. but now i know liao - use towel to wrap him and keep him snug then he won't be scared. he so brave. let the doctor see him and touch him. when she said 'oh it's quite swollen' then i wanted to cry. i felt like such a bad parent, like wait so long then bring him

she say it could be the new cage cos his ELBOWS (not armpits...) keep rubbing on the wiring, causing abrasion. the old cage was plastic one. so i changed him back and switched back to cat litter (paper pallets) instead of sawdust. so he's happy now

and vet also say it prob doesn't cause him pain, but just discomfort. phew.

ah huat is 50g. so cute. so small yesterday me and him share jit kee shio hor sua and walk from our house to holland village haha.

welcome, mei mei. i think you got conned by the name of the thread. we all came in cos we thought will have soup recipes, but scarli all sorts of recipes also come out haha.

thanks for curry chicken, ant, and thanks for cookies, sch!!

 

[pinkbunny]

oh, my excursion to mustafa... the bedsheets so ah neh colour. didn't buy la. maybe later go aussino to see. quite cheap i think. plus got bolster case!

in the end i bought fruit tea ($2.50 for 25 sachets of apple tea, and i also bought strawberry tea) and those pre-mix sauces for my MIL

 

[schnauzie]
