Home cooking

I've started cooking at home recently, after months of keeping a non-oily stove.

Home dinner one night, with store-bought roast pork, which I've grilled in the oven (to a crispy skin).

These ready to eat wanton soup from CP brand is fabulous...one of the best frozen food around.

Pasta dinner tonight:

With grilled spicy pork sausage, fresh brown and white mushrooms, assorted veggies and leftover pacific clams.

While being grilled in the mini oven, the sausages somehow caused a little fire to be ignited in the oven! :-O

The oil dripping must have sparked off the small fire on the aluminium foil! >_<"

Anyway, it was an extra tasty pasta dinner. ;)

And I love my pasta keeper. It has holes that conveniently dispense exactly 100g or 200g of pasta.

Wow, you still have time to cook. Even if I leave the office early at 6.30pm (which is abnormal), I can only eat my bought dinner at 9pm as I have to feed the 5 of them their wet food, wash the litter box and vacuum the floor.

Feeding them takes up the most time as they have various diet restrictions and requirements. Handfeeding the short tongue BB already takes me 20 min. CC's feeding will take another 20 min.

No wonder I have no time at night.

No need to vacuum everyday mah... can use the "magic clean" dry mop (by the SO) which is good for picking up cat hair.

We can have a simple home-cooked meal, if:
- get home by 7pm (must feed the noisy Coco wet food first)
- have most ingredients ready, thawed in the fridge,
- cheat by cooking some instant/frozen dish, or tar bao one dish from zhi-char stall

Dinner will be at 8+pm. After that relax or play with Coco a bit, etc. Just before bedtime, water the plants, pluck cat grass to hand-feed Coco (she expects this), clear cat litter bin and then off to bed at 11.30pm or so.

Sometimes, Coco will act hao lian and refuse to eat the wet food, which I just hack care her lah, or throw in one piece of salmon treat as fish floss topping and she will eat it up.
