Figuring out Dinner for Sunday

 I may roast a big Chicken, 1.4kg from Cold Storage.  It will be easy as I can put it in the oven or use the BBQ stove.  Then I just need to get a salad or boiled vegetables.  The other possibility is to get seafood from Geyland Serai Market and have boiled prawns.  The Cantonese style is simple.  Just boil the prawn and have dark soya sauce dip.

Tiong Bahru Bakery Deal

 On April's Fool Day, Tiong Bahru Bakery(TBB) had a deal.  For every bread purchased, you get a free drink.  We were at Tang's.  B3, our youngest boy was with us and we bought 4 breads.  For every bread purchased, we get a card that allows us to purchase 3 more times the bread with a free drink.  Yesterday, we used up one card and today we also had a drink in TBB Waterway Point.  

We have 5 more breads with free drinks left for April month!

Family Dinner Tomorrow

 B1 cycled home this evening.  B2 was around, so I reminded them of dinner on Sunday.  But B1 wanted dinner tomorrow instead.  I will cook up the 2nd tomahawk with french fries.  Will have to get some green.  I am thinking about whether to get some seafood from Geylang Serai market.

Geyland Serai has the freshest seafood at a fantastic price.

Weighing a baby - 10kg

 I have a bathroom scale which I use to weigh myself every day.  It is a good feedback system.  But I still eat too much.  I am overweight.  Forget about this rant.

When the baby was back, I decided to weigh her.  So I weigh myself.  The scale read 88kg.  There is a decimal point which now I have forgotten.  I then carry her and stand on the scale again.  This time it read 98kg to the same decimal point i.e. 88.7 to 98.7.  So my baby weighs 10.0 kg on April 2, 2024.  She is 11 months now.  

Baby will be home today

 We are looking forward to seeing our baby today after a 10-day break.  She was in Japan and had a great time with her parents getting soft toys and enjoying the Japanese cuisine.  She also had pictures taken with sakura in bloom.  Great to see our baby enjoying herself.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to Sinpopo tomorrow for lunch.  Sinpopo has a member's day every Wednesday.  

One for One Tomahawk

 Cold Storage has this one-for-one deal for tomahawk.  Tomahawk is a piece of rib with meat attached.  The meat is thick and therefore easier to cook medium or rare.  Beef well done is tough!  However, my wife likes her beef well done.  Hence, after cooking the beef, I will have some small pieces well done.  Sometimes, I just gave her the edges.  The edges are also my favorite as it is well caramelized and full of flavors.

We will be having tomahawk for dinner tonight.  I am looking to cooking beef.  Its been a long time since I have cooked beef for dinner.

The final output of cooked Tomahawk.  The outside is medium well and the inside is medium.

Banana Trees Gone

 This morning, I decided to clear 2 banana trees.  I have not been successful in growing banana.  I had 2 trees that bear fruits twice.  So far no luck in getting the rest to fruit yet.  Maybe they do have enough nutrients.  I have fed them with vegetables and fruit scraps.  The earthworms are thriving in the soil they are in.   Yet, they are reluctant to bear fruits.  

When I was along the streets, there were plenty of banana plants bearing fruits even though they looked neglected.  Hence my laments.

The Joy of Happy Baby

 My baby is in Japan with her parents.  We get videos of her on whatsapps.  It is a joy to see her so happy.  She pumped her arms excitedly when she saw us whenever on the videocalls.  She is so amazing.  She will be one in a couple of months and she understood us on video calls!  Grandma asked who is Baby and she patted her chest.  The screen was small and voice out of a small gadget.  My heart is filled with joy just seeing her on the video!
