What Mummy is doing right now?


Learn to cook! It's not easy to have good tastebud family members yeah... Every little spices or slightly different cooking method will totally alter the taste and originality of the dish... Need to learn from the beginning as never posses any good talent in cooking.

MIL is going to Shanghai tomorrow and I'll be the cook for 2 weeks. Not sure whether I can cook for the family even En En is now in Alor Setar, a good reason to cook without a toddler disturbing. Hopefully no need to end up ta-pau from outside... :P

As for this pregnancy, am not having good appetite. I still can eat but not in big portion and can't live without hot, spicy and sour. Not sure why the tastebud change so drastically even normal stir-fry vegetables which was my favourite is so difficult to swallow without sambal chillies! So, Malay and Indian recipes book is the one that gets referring the most. Will off to prepare sambal ikan bilis in a day or two... *yummy yummy* Only one things that bother me... tiny bloody vessel discharge but not everyday. Some days even got pinkish red discharge, gynea said it's fine but am still not sure why this happen to both of my pregnancies.

On the other hand, need to start helping daddy to do his checking & recording on monthly expenses (to make sure whether he got some pocket money for mummy or not... hehe...) and lots of household chores to be done since the maid is not here at the moment. Oh... not forgetting knitting too... hopefully able to finish most of them before En En comes back to "interrupt the progress"... LOL!

Ratatouille


Managed to watch Ratatouille (rat-a-too-ee) last night with Daddy. A great movie for the whole family. It's about a rat who dreams big to become a chef, funny, touching and inspiring. Not to mention, cute too.

Ratatouille is a type of French cuisine - only know this almost at the end of the movie. Dah... I'm slow.

It is a traditional French stewed vegetable dish with olive oil. The key ingredients are tomatoes, zuccihini, garlic, onions, eggplant, bell peppers and basil. Looks delicious though never try one. Not sure how is it with olive oil and I realized most Asian can't tolerate with olive oil in their cooking. Maybe it's the herb and spices combination which is quite different between the East and the West.

So, bring your kids to the cinema to wacth this cute little rat, Remy and its adventures! Even daddy and I love this movie.
