My Latest Addition of Garbage Enzyme

My little project on garbage enzyme had started, this is due to my hubby drank so much of soft-drink lately and he is complaining about his waistline expand. LOL!

Too much sugar intake, well at least I know his pancrea is doing a great job to store the extra storage for future use - that is why his waistline is expanding.

So daddy, if you want to slim down. STOP YOUR SOFT-DRINK INTAKE!!!

Ready-to-use Garbage Enzyme. I got more than 10 bottles and I am making again. I am planning to give them away, whoever is interested, please leave a comment. Oh ya, small note, you have to collect it yourself.

My hubby drank so much of soft-drink and I got to make full use of this empty bottles.

My latest addition.

Those Days.....

My milk bottles collection! When I saw them again I remember my breastfeeding days. Those are good memories and looking at these collection, it made me smile again.

If you wish to know, I did not buy these milk bottles at one-time. I was so determined to gave my son breast milk till 1 year old, then I need to keep stock.

When everytime I run out of milk bottles, I will purchased them again & again till I got 2 boxes of them. I got total of 106 milk bottles (69 pieces of 8oz + 37 pieces of 5oz).

I am full-time working mother and I pumped twice at work in order to maintain my supplied and keep my son on breast milk till he was 1 year old. So I have cooler and it follow me to work faithfully without failed and I make my own ice pack using 0.5 liter mineral water. I have a few of them and now they are happily inside my freezer.



Those were my HAPPY BREASTFEEDING DAY!!!! Remember them, really put a smile on my face.

Homemade Vegetable Stock

Wondering what are those? Homemade vegetable stock for my prince! No salt & no MSG added! Healthy recipe just for him!

I got this recipe from Baby Center. I found it very rich in flavour and even my prince said "NICE".

Annabel Karmel's homemade vegetable stock.

It’s easy to make a homemade vegetable stock that will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Use this to form the basis of your purées, rather than relying on salt-filled, shop-bought stock cubes.

• Preparation: 10 minutes
• Cooking: 1 hour 10 minutes
• Makes 850ml (29fl oz)
• Provides beta-carotene, folate and potassium
• Suitable for freezing

Ingredients
1 onion, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
2 large carrots, peeled
1 large leek, washed
1 stick celery
1 tbsp olive oil
850ml (29fl oz) water
1 sprig of parsley
1 sprig of thyme (optional)
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns

Method
Roughly chop all the vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pan and add the vegetables and garlic. Sweat the vegetables in the oil without colouring for 5 minutes – cover with a lid if you like.

Add the cold water and bring to the boil. Add the herbs, bay leaf and peppercorns. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Leave to cool for a couple of hours, then strain through a sieve. Squeeze remaining juices out of the vegetables by pushing them down in the sieve with a potato masher.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

I got new recipe book from a book fair lately. These homemade ice creams are from the book.

Ingredients are strawberry + sugar. I always opt for organic sugar / brown sugar. Blend it still smooth before putting them into ice cube tray or ice cream mould.

Since I made these, my son keep on asking for ice-cream. Most important, it is healthy and top-up his fibre intake.

Moon Cake Festival

Moon cake festival is coming!!! It is 3rd October 2009 this year. I am looking forward to bring my son and his lantern for a walk. I am thinking buy a new lantern for him .... just planing OR he can re-cycle his old lantern since it is still new.La

Last year, they only have Tigger. I was hoping to get him POOH bear but was out of stock. Maybe this year better luck. Ooopsss, I guess not because moon cake festival is just around the corner and I have not make any purchase yet.

It does not matter, still can re-cycle his Tigger.

Art

Found it @ June Leeloo. Nice piece of art. Interesting. Beautiful. Mysterious.

Haagen-Dazs Moon Cake Ice Cream

Moon cake festival is just around the corner @ Malaysia. This year, it falls on 3rd October 2009.

Beautiful lanterns & candles all around. I do not really like traditional moon cakes but I LOVE this following moon cakes from Haagen-Dazs, my favourite.

LOL. and the most expensive moon cakes of all.

My favourite among all those ice-cream is this one.....STRAWBERRY. I just love it. Very much in love with it. LOL.

Cloth Pad

New era of sanitary pad - "Cloth Pad". It can be wash and re-use again & again & again. Putting in some effort to save the mother earth.

When I first saw cloth pad over the internet in Malaysia - not so colorful and not very popular back then. Slowly the thoughts of trying it vanished.

Then I saw it again @ Hijack Queen Blog. Combination of color cloth make the cloth pad so beautiful.

Plus encouragement from hubby, it would not hurt to give it a try. Moreover, cloth pads are getting very popular. The best thing of all : No more bad odor during menses days which coming from the chemical.

The combination color I love the most.

Why shake your head like that? This cloth pad just came out from the dryer and it is NEW. Please have a open-mind.

I got distracted and forgot to tell where I got this lovely cloth pad. It is from Mama Patch.

My Prince's Favorite

His cars exhibition.

His cocoon.

His best pals. He makes sure they got cover with his favorite blanket.

Onde-Onde

My favorite Malaysia dessert – Onde-Onde. I made it when I got my craving towards it. First timer in doing this kind of dessert. It looks nice but it did not taste nice.

The classic about “Onde-Onde” is thin skin with lots of palm sugar. The sugar oozes out when you bite it.

But mine does not happen like that. Giving up.
