Chloe brings so much joy to my life… except the part where.. she doesn’t wanna sleep thru’ the nite.. and wakes up.. a few times.. a nite.. and only lets me sleep at 8am in the morning.. and i have to get up as early as 11am.. to get ready to go to the store.

Overall, she is a bright and good kid.. and i wouldn’t know what i would do without her.

(more…)

Saturday nite.. i steamed egg tofu.. for chloe & I. I haven’t had egg tofu..for 6 yrs now..! or more i think.. because as per usual. .we can’t get it here. I had wanted to steamed it with minced pork and chinese mushroom.. but guess what no minced pork to be found for 2 days.. bummer..! so i made it plained.. with loads of shallot in it..!

Chloe loves it…. and i finished most of it. And yes.. the egg tofu was brought back by Gerald from the city.

Sorry… i took so long to post up the picture .. of what i cooked .. at 5am in the morning the other day. Was waiting for PB to upload the pictures from digi-cam to computer for me. So i’m pretty much at his mercy… kekkekee!!

Anyways.. this is it.. i boiled lotus root soup in the slow cooker.. and it only started at 1am.. in the morning.. because brat wouldn’t go to bed.. till about 12.30am. And Gerald had brought back lotus roots for me.. a few days ago.. and if i donch cooked it.. it might not last for any longer.. so “bo pian” gotta cook so late.. and then of course.. the brat woke up at 3 am .. and didn’t wanna go back to sleep.. so i let the soup boiled till.. she slept.

So yes.. i’m not crazy.. just fully utilizing my time.. while attending to the brat.. my miracle..

PS : I donch get to drink these good chinese soup alot.. coz’ you can’t buy lotus root or watercress here in “ulu” town. The last time i had lotus root soup was a long time ago.. at least 6 months ago.
