I'm a full-time mummy

Last year, I wrote about a look back into my home-cooked journey so far. Then shortly before the end of 2014, I wrote a post on my preparation when cooking. Then I thought, "Why not snap a picture of before start cooking and the final results after cooking?"

So, here you go..

Left part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 2nd April 2015. From top left (clockwise): 1 tube of egg tofu, sliced garlic (about 3-4 cloves), Asian sea bass (siakap), a bowl of tomato sauce + sugar + water, sliced tomato (removed seed and skin), a bowl of snap peas (cut into 1/3 inches long).

• Sweet Sour Pan Fried Siakap (Asian Seabass)

• ABC Soup (not in picture)

For this post, I am sharing my next food recipe, Braised Spicy Pork. I am not a fan of pork and even though I cooked it often for my family, I don't really eat it (weird, I know...) but this dish changed me. I find myself eating it without feeling weird etc and have even been cooking extra on few occassions so that I can pack some and give it to my brother in laws and sister in law to try out as well. This dish is well-loved by my hubby and my siblings-in law :)

Without further ado, here is the recipe for Braised Spicy Pork:

I love to look for things that I can use as teaching tools for our kiddos. Simple, bulk quantity and inexpensive preferably. I bought this bunch of colored ice cream sticks online for very good deal, less than USD2 (about RM7) for 50 sticks. I bought 150 sticks since I have 3 kiddos and the amount is just nice for now.

Now I tried not to make it too obvious that I want to teach them stuff, so I started with easy peasy games like, how many sticks am I holding, what color sticks are you holding, how do you make triangle or other shapes with the sticks on your hand and so on.

When I noticed our kiddos start to lose attention, I changed the game to other things. I say 'Here's all the sticks, go crazy and make me something!' At first they don't know where to start. So I gave them some ideas on what to make.

Rocket! And our 6 years old boy proceeded to make a rocket from the sticks on the floor, complete with launchpad, words out of his mouth. I was wondering where he hears the word 'launchpad' from but oh well, kids, very smart these days! Our 3.5 years old girl also made a rocket of her own.

Then they continued making more stuff, robot by our 6 years old boy, flowers from our 3.5 years old girl and an angry looking dinosaur which escaped from its cage, done by our 6 years old boy (we watched Jurassic World recently)

Will share more in near future if possible ;)
