Lunch
Posted in Baking and cooking, Daily musings, Me stuff, Work on August 27, 2009 | 5 Comments »
It’s not a lot of variety. My lunches are usually a combination of somen with a meat dish and salad or a sandwich of sorts.
My favorite lunch was the time when I had stir-fried pork with the leftover rice and miso soup. It was the most enjoyable lunch I’ve had all month. Of course [...]
Home-made lunch
Posted in Baking and cooking, Daily musings, Me stuff, Work on July 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
In an effort to avoid the office cafeteria’s MSG-laden food, I have started bringing lunch to work.
Most days, it is an egg/tuna/chicken mayo sandwich and a salad. I prepare the filling the evening before and make the sandwich in the morning. Usually there are extras and KJ eats them for breakfast.
I’d admit that [...]
Dinner tonight : Fish with Cheddar and Tomatoes
Posted in Baking and cooking on June 28, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Recipe taken from Dutch Girl Cooking’s wonderful food blog here.
I used Dory fillets and served it with fried par-boiled potatoes.
KJ didn’t like it as much as the previous fish I did. I think he has an issue with the tomatoes.
You may notice when I make dinner, I tend to bake and use cheese [...]
Speedy Baked Rice

KJ was at an event till quite late this evening so we decided to stay in for dinner.
I rushed home after work, picking up some groceries on the way. It took just about half an hour to prep the dish. I started baking the rice once KJ texted me that he was on his [...]
Craving cakes

Occasionally I get a naggy voice in my head calling out for cakes.
I read from somewhere that the true test of a baker’s skill is to have him bake a sponge cake. Who would have thought that this modest and almost boring confectionary is so important? I mean, if you look at the cakes displayed [...]
It’s a hit!

Kinda.
Xy wasn’t a fan though but I wasn’t holding my breath.
So, here it is – served with a side of mashed potatoes and Amatuer Gourmet’s Best Broccoli.
Sorry about the less-than delectable picture – this was taken off KJ’s handphone camera. I can tell you that it tastes better than it looks.
I wasn’t able to find [...]
Cooking : Saturday dinner
Posted in Baking and cooking on April 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Okay, so my previous dinner plan didn’t go so good.
I couldn’t find any sage that day at NTUC so instead of sage and balsamic pork chops, I made a miso-mayo version (my mother’s recipe) which turned out too tough (I forgot to tenderise the meat) and a tad salty (salt is my nemesis). KJ helped [...]
What’s for dinner?

Inspired by a couple of recipes I stumbled upon, I plan to cook dinner for my folks this weekend.
First up, The Best Broccoli of Your Life found on the delightful Amateur Gourmet’s blog:
I wonder if this is enough to sway KJ from his non-vege diet.
In case the broccoli fails to get KJ’s attention, there is always [...]
Baking : Rosemary crackers

This is the easiest thing I have ever baked. Bar none.You basically mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, roll the dough out, stick it in the oven for 10 minutes and voila!
The entire process took less than 30 minutes. Easy peasy.
Maybe too easy. I had to do it twice and still I did [...]
