Steamed Golden Pomfret

That's what we'll be having for dinner tonight! Yummy. I love steamed fish, something which my mom made a lot when I was younger. For tonight, mr fishy is going to be accompanied by thinly sliced ginger, garlic and shallots, and some wolfberries. A tablespoon of light soya sauce and generous toppings of tomatoes. Steam that for about 15 minutes (depends on the size of your fish) and serve immediately with warm rice. Delicious, to make your meal a little healthier, serve with veggies, like what I do, we're having spinach for company tonight :)

Nursery rhyme

I was filling out a job application form today and realise that I was born on Thursday! What's that rhyme that came to mind... :) Monday's child is fair of face??... I Googled it and see below. Well, I'm a child that has far to go.. well, at least I'm not Saturday's child. I'm going to try to 'interpret' it in a positive manner meaning I can GO far :P

Monday's child is fair of face

Tuesday's child is full of grace

Wednesday's child is full of woe

Thurday's child has far to go

Friday's child is loving and giving

Saturday's child has to work for its living

But a child that's born on the Lord's day

is fair and wise and good and gay.

Congrats if you're born on a Sunday.

Violin!

I shall focus on my violin practise every morning since I'm at home and bored.. I think I will do it after my trip to the wet-market.. I hope, I just need a lot of willpower. :)

Job hunt

I had another good week of dinner last week! Really enjoyed cooking! Made marmalade pork chops, salads etc. Cleaned the house a little bit more, organised stuff round the house and went out a couple of times - meeting job agents! Ya, the search continues.. I sent like almost 2 dozen applications out to companies and also to agents, still nothing solid back yet. I have had a couple of offers but not too good ones, so had rejected them.

You cannot believe how some big national healthcare companies can be such bad paymasters, trying to squeeze the most out of you with a whole long list of responsibilities and then offering to pay you peanuts! Sheesh... And you wonder why service is declining.... now you know.

I also lost a job opportunty in a big multinational company because I am 'over-qualified'. I have not heard that one yet, so that's a first. I hope I get a job soon coz I am tired of the stress of looking for a job.

Forgot today's dinner..

We had fried bee hoon with (garlic marinated) prawns, veg, eggs and red capsicum. Oooo another yummy night. It's really great to hear Sam singing praises for my cooking every night. Never had this when I was working. I love not working... but got to go back to work soon else, we'd be very poor using up our savings.

Nite.....

It's been a long! time.

I didn't notice that my last blog is almost one and half years ago!! That long. Latest update is this, I'm out of a job. Quit my last job as it's taking too much of my time away from Matt and Sam, making me feel too tired to spend time with them etc etc..

It's fun not having to work these past 2 weeks. I have been cooking really great dinners for the family. See what we had this week.

Monday: Beef burgers with cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, sauteed onions and mushrooms. Followed by fruit salad:strawberry, honeydew and orange, topped with orange sauce.

Tuesday: Spaghetti with mushrooms and sausages. Followed by fruit salad: honeydew, pineapple, plum, topped with honey.

Wednesday: Egg bake: Layers of ingredients are bread crumbs as base, sausages, ham, broccoli. Add milk and eggs, then top it with cheese. Lots of it. Delicious. More fruit salad, apple and plum, ran out of ideas, topped with honey again.

Thursday: Corn and spare ribs soup and french beans. Followed by cut fruits, apples.

Friday: Yummy juicy sweet sour prawns and spinach.

Last week? Well, last week was major clean up week, vacuuming and picking up all the toys and stuff, so we had simple soup and veggie dinners on most evenings. Will keep you updated soon :).
