MOANDAY MORNING


My life is quite routine, in a good way. Monday is mall night, Tuesday is family dinner, Wednesday is dinner with the in-laws, Thursday is wild card, Friday is home group, Saturdays are inevitably taken up by wedding dinners, dinners with other adults without kids, dinner with the discount card (that's the only time wife and I go "dating" together, when one of us eats for free, because we were suckered into buying those hotel prestige cards), dinners with adults with kids. I never really appreciated the routine, in fact, a few years ago i was almost bemoaning the fact that my life was so routine, until a series of events, crises, to be more precise, such as the death of a cousin and father's heart attack, threw the routine into complete disarray, and i thought to myself, I can't wait for life to get back to its routine. And since then, I've never really complained about routine.

So, as a matter of routine, Friday night is usually another bake night, for my home group. A home group is one of those church things, where a few of us (and getting fewer by the week) meet up for bible study. Last Friday, I experimented with an orange flan, which is a variation of the lemon tart. I intended to regurgitate the same thing the following night, for dinner with friends, without kids. But I didn't really take to the orange flan. So for the following night, I decided to go for the jaffa chocolate tart instead, which people bemoaned was too rich. Groan.

My husband loves routines. He says its the only thing that gives him some sort of stability and comfort on stressful days. So we do the same things on certain days of the week. We even eat the same things for certain meals. Hahaha!

List Of Desserts For Sale

Okay, this isn't going to make me rich, but no harm making a few bucks on the side from a hobby. If I was a talented musician, I'd probably be a part time lounge pianist in some seedy bar. I am NOT a talented cook by any yardstick. However, since friends and fellow floggers (food bloggers) have been asking, it is with great reluctance that I have to put a price tag to these products: LIST OF DESSERTS AVAILABLE AS AT 30 AUGUST 2006 Chocolate Tart - Literally half baked, this tart comprises a bottom layer of baked chocolate, and a layer of melted chocolate ganache.

J says: go update J says: i can't carry on the day without reading it first CORNELIUS says: i got nothing to update wor J says: so u planning to just not write? J says:how irresponsible Anyway, to further add to the pool of instructor rivalry, I got this sms over the weekend, from fellow gym kaki: That should hopefully ruffle some feathers, and cause an all out martial arts war. No gym yesterday, as I was too late for body attack at axis. Brought the boys to Ikano, to hangout, as girl has some tests at school, so had to stay back with mother to do some work. Hung out at Popular, but not before buying some Wrigley Juicy Fruit chewing gum which I used to eat as a kid, and thought boy no 1 would like. Boy: So, is this what you ate in the old days? Me: Old days? Boy: Ya, old days. When you were a kid. Me: Ya. Boy: What did they use as clocks in the old days

Weekend With Wonder Woman

Friday - Same old same old. Body Pump at MJH/MRB, FPI that day replaced by Myke, as the former had quartelies. Rushed back, to prepare supper for cell group, which initially looked like no one was going to show. Fortunately, the two home made pizzas did not go to waste, and this the son's verdict. Saturday- Tons of errands to run, in preparation for dinner party tonight with Wonder Woman aka Gorgeous Woman. Started in Petaling Street, to get the Sei Ngan Chai Ham Arp, (4 eyed boy's salty duck), managed to grab a plate of chee cheong fun....Petaling Street is always so hustling and bustling, even at 9.30am. I so love that place. Great food as well. Headed to normal Ipoh Kueh Teow shop, Lee Tong Kee in Jln Silang, but it was closed, so went to Tengkat Tong Shin, which was ALSO closed. Gee such slackers. Ended up having to get it from Lucky Garden, but the lady wasn't accustomed to our usual method of tah pau, so it ended up a trite soggy. Baked the same Nigella Lawson's C
