Big Pot Lamb Stew

Lamb stew

What do you do when you know you are going to be very busy for the next few days but still have to feed the family? Well, this is what I did…..a BIG pot of lamb stew! It worked. My family had it for 2 consecutive days for lunch and dinner! To my huge surprise, NO one complained. Well, actually no one dared to complain…haha. Whoever complains will either have to cook, go without food or go and buy herself/himself! I should do that more often huh….*wink*

Wontons For Dinner From Cookery School Cookbook

Delicious wonton

Recently I received a cookbook called ‘Cookery School‘. I was just totally delighted! It has been on TV Channel 4 for the past 9 weeks hosted by Gizzi Erskine and Richard Corrigan. This is the final week. I watched quite a number of shows trying to learn. It’s a very interesting cooking show where there are students learning to cook in the form of a competition. It must be nerve-wrecking. My daughter enjoyed it very much. She always goes, ‘That looks easy. I want to make it.’ But life’s busyness has taken its toll and she hasn’t cooked anything yet!

Abernethy Retreat - Worth All the Pain

Best meal

For the past couple of weeks I have gone through the craziest time of my life. If my parents were here, they would only say ONE WORD…….MADNESS!!! Having said that, they will make me drink lots of chicken tonic soup.

The very day I came back from travelling, I had badminton competition the next day. Many companies took part. My husband’s company sent out 2 leagues, 6 teams in all. Overall, we got 1st runner-up…..yippee! I won 2 out of 4 games, playing women’s doubles instead of mixed doubles. It was a last minute arrangement for the sake of the whole team to give us a higher chance of winning. So, I must say my partner and I did very well. We were all very pleased with our performance……*smiling*

Carrot, apple and beet juice for health

I have been missing out on my blogging again lately. Too many things to do in too short a time. I have learned that if we find that 24 hours a day is not enough everyday, then we are just too busy. Life is not meant to be that way. So, I’m taking time off to relax a little today to get charged up and refreshed.
