Bento 309 and Affogato

This was #3's bento for yesterday. Just fried sausages with wholemeal bread drizzled with some kewpie mayo and Oreo. #3 is really picky and hard to please.

Sometimes she can just eat the same food day after day. Admittedly, she's improved this year, trying new food stuff and acquiring new favorites. Problem is, it's at snail's pace and takes a toil on the patience!

This is our latest 'fix'! Affogato! After paying RM8.50-RM12.00 for this sweet taste of paradise, we decided to make it ourselves.

I used " coffee" with a plunger! Yummilicious!

Shopping at Daiso

#1 had some things to pick up at Daiso. As always, I'm excited too!

Picked up some carving tools. I know I won't be using them because I don't have the passion for Charaben. Just letting my blog readers know that it's available at Daiso at The Curve.

Have fun shopping!

Food galore

#1's last two days at home before returning to the grind of self sufficiency! We're on a gastronomic tour of local food and favorite deserts!

I the "technologically challenged dork"

I've been without internet access for the last couple of weeks. Nonetheless, the world of 'possibilities' is quite large! Making good choices result in good returns.

Three months ago, the whole family invested in a Blackberry each because #1 was going off to UK to study. I'm technologically challenged so I just went with the flow. Three months later and quite a satisfactory owner of a Blackberry Bold with an unlimited access plan under my belt, I've found that I can still just plug in my Blackberry or BB in short to access the internet.

Hubs says that the Unifi plan is accessible to our area soon and we're going to subscribe to it. Beats me, but I'm fine with that!

The fact that I'm back blogging and having posted two posts already makes me happy!

Since #1 left for UK to study, nobody has been using the Canon EOS40D which hubs bought. I found it clumsy with the zoom lens and #1 suggested we invest in a smaller lens...okay I'm game for that too.


Hehehe! My new toy! (If I can figure out how to use it first).

Kids day out baking!

We started out early to the God sister's house for a day of fun and baking. Made some scones, Apple pies and Tiramisu. Days are packed with activities and programs until #1 flies back to UK for her second semester.

Pictures says them all....

BZ books galore!

These are some cook books and recipe keepers I got over the holiday season. Some were bought locally, others were brought back from London by #1. There are a couple more scattered all over the house...

Goodbye 2010 & Hello Bento 308

#1 was home for Christmas. Lots of presents for everyone! The God brothers had lots of exciting stuff! The sisters were basking in new clothes and chocolates. I was drowning in cook books. It's been a busy three weeks.

It's been a wonderful year and 2011 looks exciting and blessed. I'm looking forward to it.



I put together a quick fix bento for #2 today. She has another semester to go before she has nothing to do until September. Lucky thing she extended her foundation course for another semester otherwise she's be completely at a loss what to do for 2011! *shakes head*

Oh well! This was it...store bought 'chee cheong fun' a.k.a as rice flour noodles. The accompaniment is some stuffed ladies fingers, 'foo chook', pigs skin (fried) and some meat balls and fish balls. Some pineapple to go too. Looks like Thursdays are good for bentos!

Halloween cupcakes

A friend passed me a box of cupcakes on Sunday. Personally, I don't celebrate Halloween but I have no issues with people who do.


Thank you anyway!

Some pumpkins which caught my eye! Never seen such expensive and huge pumpkins before!

Profiteroles

I made these with #3 for her class party last Friday. I've been making creme puff with this recipe for ages. This is really easy after the first time. I used the recipe from the "Cook's Bible".

This one is almost similar and I'm sure it's as good if you want to try it.

Bento 307 - JLSM

I taught this Bento two weekends ago at the Japanese Language Society. This was a mixed salad in sesame dressing.

Some bunny apples.

Pancake 'wraps' with teriyaki chicken, mushroom and salad filling.

Bento 306

#2 likes to eat 'wraps'. This was one of those bentos in a rush!





Nicely packed in a bento!
