Dusting Cobwebs & Catching Up

It’s about time I pull myself away from my “latest hobbies” and daily responsibilities to spend some time here dusting cobwebs. I need to make an effort to update this blog/journal of mine more often else my envisioned trips down memory lane in the future would not be possible.

What have I been up to since I last document my resolutions for the year?

1. Original Bootcamp, thrice weekly –  this is my 3rd month and I am so hooked/addicted to it. My dear hubby thinks that I am nuts to wake up at 5.30am and rush to the field for an hour of hell. Not sure why but I kinda like the kick-ass pain, plus the released of happy hormones after each session – simply the ultimate combination that money cannot buy. Yes, yes, I am being dramatic again ……. If you would like some details about our sessions, hop over to these two hardcores – here for a male account, and here for the female version.

2. My New Toy – this was my Christmas present from my hubby. I have been spending lots of hours when my kids are at school reading up the manual while practising my sewing skills on the machine. I will blog about my craft items from the machine once it passes my quality control checks.

3. Preparing dinner - I have been keeping up to my resolution (most of the time) to prepare dinner on weekdays. I would be “scrmbling” at 3pm daily figuring out dinner. I found not 1, not 2 but 3 super-easy, fuss-free, super tasty with minimal clean-ups recipes that I have used again, and again, again ……

Roast Chicken – only 2 ingredients, but it taste super-yummy-delicious (if there is such a word). Here is a picture from the creator of this dish (mine did not do justice to it).

Thanks Ju for sharing this recipe – I love you!

Rice Cooker Chicken – another super easy brilliant recipe that I stumbled upon.

Thanks Sonia for sharing the recipe – I love you!

I did not take any picture cos I simply lifted the pot (from the rice cooker) to the dinner table. Here is a picture from her blog, I hope you don’t mind Sonia.

Arrowhead Chicken Soup – another super simple recipe that I like. My hubby and kids think that it is the best, much better than the infamous ABC Soup. The best part of it is, it is a well balanced one pot meal – chicken plus veges, thus I do not need to cook another dish. This recipe is from an “Iron Chef” who insist of calling herself a noobcook.

Wiffy, thanks ALOT for sharing – I love you!

I hope you don’t mind me posting your picture here, its such an awesome shot (as always).

4. Having fun with Fabric Topiary – I had so much fun making these for our friends as Chinese New Year cum Valentines gift.

5. Coaching My Girls – I am getting better at helping my girls with their schoolwork and projects. Here is the scene on most weekday nights, haha!
