Baking weekend

Finally a weekend where i get to do finish up my CNY food stuff. I finished the pineapple tarts and hubs finished the Bak Kua. The salty-sweet dried pork BBQ slices.

Easy to do cause Joel was away for the whole of Saturday for his sleepover. My boy really is grown up. He nows baths himself, dresses himself and does not want to come back.. sigh..

We wanted to pick him after lunch but the boys wanted more play time so we catch up for dinner and then went our to Jule's house. The played even more and we left late. Glad he had a good time with his friend but i was just missing him so much. I know it is just one night but i need to sleep with my babies :)

Poor Jovan misses his bro so much. He was so lonely and played by himself. He was extremely well behaved and quiet when we had dinner at Joe's place on Friday. I felt that someone kidnapped my son and replaced him with an angel. But once Joel is back, everything is back to normal.

I spend some time planning for the week and preparing Joel's breakfast/lunches menu. I will soon be busy doing all these when he actually starts school. I am starting to freeze burger patties, getting the pantry stocked with his lunch box goodies and i actually bought 5 different lunch bags and boxes. :) Hubs say i am crazy. Well, all these will die down after making his lunch for many years to come.

I am still continuing to make healthy breakfast for my boys and they seem to get the hang of it now. Wake up, put socks on, wash their wash, brush the smelly teeth and come down for breakfast. We will talk and tell story while i have my coffee and then go out. It is easy and calm by just waking up 15 minutes earlier. Makes heck of a difference!

I tried to make some dinner but Joel has specially requested the dad to make dinner from now onwards. sigh. mommy's cooking is really bad. I tried to make some ricotta cheese pasta for them, and it was so bad that i almost gag. yucks. I will never buy ricotta cheese anymore.

my countless attempts in pineapple tart making. everytime it tastes different. sigh.
I am thankful for the cutter my sis got me. such a life saver. This time jam too wet. Didn;t cooked it dry enough.
but at least it didn';t get burn badly from the egg wash like last time.

All packed and ready.
