New product - Transportation Theme Pasta

Not been updating my blog recently cos I have been having sleepless night lately. My girl is down with fever since Monday. She will cling on to me the moment I reach home. No time to do my personal things. This was suppose to be an earlier post.

Went shopping in NTUC last weekend to replenish some stocks and headed for the Pasta Section as we have run out of it. Usually we will go for the brand pastaZARA, cos they have Pasta in animals theme. To our suprise, they have now come out with the Transportation Theme Pasta. Clarence was first to notice it and without any hesitation, we got a pack. Below is the picture of the pastaZARA and I took some out for photo shoot. They have aeroplane, train, car and motorbike.
And of course, we have it for lunch as well.

Pasta in mushroom soup with Tako balls and crabstick

This is the only food whereby Clarence can finished 1 BIG bowl. He is usually a small eater. All of us have it for lunch except for my hubby cos he normally prefer to eat chinese food.

Bento #1, #2, #3

Finally, I can post pictures of my bentos.

As requested by my boys to prepare something for them, I have decided to use some of the leftover items like nuggets, fish fillet and seaweed. Having to wake up an hour earlier to do the preparation, I find that it is worth it. The result really makes my boys very happy and I'm surprised by the end result. The pictures are taken from handphone and is not very clear. Luckily, I have it capture on camera too. Will download the pic from camera when I have the time.

Exam Fever

Today, my elderest boy is having his first exam paper "English". His other papers will follow next few days as well as next week. Normally when children are having their exam, I think most parents are more anxious and worries than the children. Don't know how well they can do for all the papers

Having go thru some of the previous assessment with him and mentioned to my hubby his weakness in some of the areas, my hubby take the initiative to be home last few days to go thru with him on this weakest subject "Chinese Language".

I would like to thank my hubby for his help and to wish Clement all the best in his exam.
GOOD LUCK CLEMENT! Mummy know you can do it.

My 3rd attempt on Muffin

Last Friday night, my 2 boy keep on bugging me to make Muffins for them. As I have most of the ingredients, I did not disappoint them since they are so supportive to my cooking, baking and experiment. With the help from them and of course with my little girl, we manage to complete the baking (and the mess they made). The whole process takes about an hour to complete. The recipe is from Love972 Violet's Kitchen. Below is the finished product.

Muffin
Self Raising Flour - 300gm
Fine Sugar - 250gm

Whole egg - 135gm (est 2 big eggs)
Milk (Fresh Milk) - 105gm/ml
Butter - 125gm
Vanilla Essence - 1/4 tsbp

(Added some chocolate chips in the muffin)

Method:
1) Using low heat, melt the butter & set aside to let it cool down. Mix in the egg, milk & vanilla essence.
2) Heat up the oven to 220 Degree Cel (10mins).
3) Sieve the self raising flour into a bowl & mix with the fine sugar.
4) Pour the butter mix into the flour and turn in one direction until evenly mix.
5) Pour the mixture into container & bake for 15 - 20 mins.

After long.........wait

Guess what my boys did? They couldn't wait to attack the muffin. Look at the way they hold the muffin (the muffin is fresh from the oven).

Down with a muffin each for the boys, 3 muffins went into my hubby's stomach (he missed my first 2 rounds of baking).

My 3 Kids

My 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. They are Clement 9 yrs old, Clarence 6 yrs old and Clarisse 16 months. Picture taken in Airport Terminal 1 when sending their daddy off to his first business trip to Hong Kong on 23/08/08.

My first post

Having seen so many mommies starting blog for themselves as well as for their children, it tempted me to do one too. Still very new to blogging and will try to see if I can keep myself going.
