busy cooking

Mondayyyy..ahhhhhhh....beautiful day... second day of spring and i am off work. What to do.. hmm...let see..tons of house chores waiting for me to finish. 2 basket of laundry full of dirty clothings waiting for me to put into washing machine, floor full of dust bunnies waiting for me to sweep, toilet full of dirt...waitingg for me to wash...
andddddd..i just feel good today. wanna know why? hey is monday maaaa... for other ppl.. monday always is bluee..but not for muaaaa.. monday is like heaven. :)

Oh well, ladies and gentlemen.. my house is not that dirty ler..kekekek.. i did some of the chores on Sunday. yupp i am very hardworking wife and mother eh. ahem ahem! ;)
talking abt sat and sun, oh boyyyyyy...full day and nite for muaaa...talking abt groceries days and house chores days eh... so..every weekend morning we woke up, we normally spend a lil longer time on bed..lazing around the bed playing with Ryan...u know..family time is very important. :) Normally Kit and I will debate who will get up first to wash up....soo what decide who go first? definitely the traditional game..."zoom three" u know where u hide ur hands and each other count 1, 2 and 3 then u show signs.. either rock, water or bird.. e.g. if one person shows rock and the other shows water...of course the water wins... cos water wash away the rock..and..rock will beat bird..coz knock over the bird..and bird will beat water coz bird drinks water..ehhehehe..
yup we still play that.. that's one of the fun we enjoy together every morning on weekend.

anyway, as usual, we have to go several stores to get our groceries.. asian store, western store (no frills, price chopper and food basic)..why? coz certain stores they have certain things on sale every week and every friday we receive flyers telling us what's on sale for this week. In the beginning, i felt funny coz why u wanna go to so manny stores just to save a couple cents?
wat abt the transaction cost? the gas fuel? hahaha oh well, that's Kit.. he like to save... more like a "china man" every penny counts!
soo..that's why every weekend we have at least go to 2 grocerries stores.
My duties on weekend will be... prepare, cut and clean the meat we bought ...be it chicken ,pork or fish... n put into bags..like divide them into days. in that way we can save even more...
yeaaa..waht to do..gotta save money..time now is hard lately... one piece of lean pork we bought from asian store (cost around 6 bucks cnd $) , we can eat for 4 days... yup..quite a big piece eh...so i have to clean and cut it into smaller pieces and put itto bags.. :))
After doing that..of course the house chores..sweeping, cleaning ,wiping...etc.
Wondering what Kit do? well, i'll let him handle Ryan..coz i had enuf with Ryan..hehehe...furtheremore Kit need to spend more time with him.
By the time i finish doing housechores...i have to get ready to go to work... i start work at 5.30 pm on sat and 4 pm on sun.. and finishes around 8.30 on sat and 7 pm on sun.

Sooo..pretty much fulll day for me already huh? soooo..monday will be my relaxing day..no worries abt what kinda topping the customer wants on their pizza or whatever ! just me and ryan! hahahha

and guess what i did today... since hubby is sick..(catched a cold) soo..i cooked him some soup.. chinese style soup... boil with chicken bone, red dates, water crest vege and ..umm this one i dunno what it calls in english..in hokkien we call "pek bok ni" is like curlish kinda thing...n u have to soak in the water in order to make them soft be4 cooking them...n they expand in size after they been soaked for awhile.
That soup cannot cure cold...butttt can sooth ur internal heat in ur body.. yeaa..hubby is heaty inside..coz his breath very smelly..plus he got mouth ulcer .
hmmm dunno why , lately he is not feeling weell..maybe stress from work, plus not enuf rest.
that' one dish... then i fried cabbage and carrot for another dish..and i steam fish with tofu.. to make the third dish.
Pretty much whole day i was preparing the food for dinner... well, u see i am not a good cook..i dun even cook be4 i came here.. u gotta understand where i came from... PENANG, MALAYSIA..haaaaaaaa....when u from Penang... there is no need to cook a meal at all eh..ahhahaah.. u can tell that when u read Joez-simply me, my sis's blog
she always promote places that is good for what food!
from bfast to supper..... ;)

but when u r here...u gotta cook mannn...eating out will put a big hole on ur wallet... trust me...a bowl of noodles cost u 6 bucks..but with taxes ...it comes to 8 or 9 bucks...seeeeee? worth it or not??? hehehehe

ohh contine continue...after cooking all 3 dishes... (normally i only cook 2 dishes) , i decided to bake cake... yup..first time baking too...
i browse through Kuali website..found this lemon cake recipe..quite interesting..n i got all the ingredients too..
so..i printed out the recipe and start to bake... but i modify it a lil b it...by adding banana to it..
The cake turn out good... not bad a first timer eh......
SOrry no pictures..coz camera downed...gone for repair.

hubby came back..happy ...coz all food ready on counter...and is hot too.. somemore got cake huh...a bonus for him already.
Someppl say..if u cannot win ur hubby's heart through ur body or looks... u gotta win his heart or rather his nose through ur skills cooking good food..and tie his nose tightly..not his heart..hahahaahah...
what to do..me no look and body...so left only cooking lorrrrrrr..

aikss....ryan is uupp fromm his nap :(
continue someother day. :)
