Turning into a Woman

Being a food lover, deciding to have a home-cooked meal or eating out or where to eat have never been a dilemma for me. Now, apart from breakfast, thinking what and where to have lunch and dinner take me more than 10 minutes or more. Simply because, I just can't bring myself to eat chinese food, dairy, creamy, greasy and smoky food. At times, my mood swing affects my appetite.

The week before last, I could slowly finish up the thin tuna sandwiches I made myself and snack on fresh cherry tomatoes, cut capsicum and lettuce, after days of eating Western/mamak cuisine.  Towards the end of last week, I had Vietnamese cuisine for two days in a row.  This week, when sister happily brought me cans of tuna, I politely returned all to her as these food has made me sick again.  The menu of the week has switched to something drier - baked potatoes, plain thin porridge and plain dessert soup.

On good days, I would have nasi lemak for breakfast or wanton noodle soup for lunch, though it took me about one hour to finish a potion.

When my mood swing comes, I am grateful that the people surrounded me tolerate my temper and allow me to eat whatever I feel like at that moment.

Safe food ( I have tested them for two weeks)
1. Nasi lemak with sweet and spicy sambal, only for breakfast.  Yes, suprisingly, I can now take spicy food.

2. Curry bihun, only for dinner. I guess this only applies to homecooked dish as my uncle customises the dish for me.

3. Salinated crackers.  Peanut butter cracker is by far the flavoured biscuit I am able to take in.  I have stocked up five packets of biscuits. They are my life-savers when I have to get up to eat every two hours.

4. Granola bar.

5. Trail mix, with savoury dried fruits.

6. Fresh fruit and vege. Healthy food that I try to remind myself to snack on when I am still slightly full.  Eating them an hour after food will turn my stomach upside down.

7. Oh! how could I leave this out?  CJ once commented I should ask for a membership card.  Subway has suddenly topped my favourite all-day food list.  Having said that, since I try to reduce my consumption of processed food, there seems to be a limited choices available.

8. Protein powder. A substitution of daily products.

The experiment continues as I adapt to my new hormonal change.  Let's hope it gets better.

I shall also remind myself to be grateful everyday, as that is the positive energy and attitude I would like to instill to my little one.

Father dumped his usual way of cooking and made me a thin porridge for dinner.
Uncle cooked a decent, simple vegetarian curry bihun for dinner.
Cousin made baked potato with tomato mushroom sauce for supper, after knowing about my crave.

不是三分钟热度哦！

不知是人穷了，还是懂得养生，近几个月一直兴起学做某某料理的念头。

前阵子勤煲糖水（实现了）学煲素汤料（屡战屡败，还在摸索中），在台湾时就想拥有各面包机优格机雪糕机（嘻，还在“想”的阶段），现在则学清理芦荟。

书桌上还有一本星期天早点的recipe，同时也对MASA的料理有兴趣。前者看起来还挺简单，后者的创意食谱令人垂涎三尺。

A stalk of aloe vera can only produce this much of flesh only.  Skinning the steam is so tricky as the cleaned aloe vera is slimy.  In fact, I have wasted plenty of it when the peeler and knife failed to.

Just today, sis and I attempted to make "full use" of the naturally grown juicy watermelon given by CJ's aunt. The giant fruit was big enough to feed the family, our three helpers, sis' two students and perhaps sufficient for tomorrow's supply too. The outer skin was then used to make fertiliser while the mashed inner skin will be used as facial mask.

西瓜甜不甜？甜。。。。。。

炎热的西瓜

好热~~~~~~ 28度，47%湿度，0.00mm雨量。干旱啊！

望出窗外，烈日当空，到处金黄色， 热乎乎！单单从打算要去warehouse，到换衣服绑头发， 就用了3个小时。因为想到要外出，屁股就懒得离开椅子了。

终于有股冲动想要拾起书包，就赶快逃离这个温暖窝时，同房竟然说要一起去，但得等她洗衣后才行。 哎呀！




还是很闷热！啊！冰箱好像有半粒西瓜！把西瓜切成丁状，在洒些细盐，坐在窗边，边用电脑边吃西瓜，一股清流从喉咙滑进胃囊，比吃Polo还有效，真是 人生一大乐趣也！
