Dinner time,Sangking males bgt gw buat masak dan anak2 gw dah kelaperan.. and Cam mau makan daging mince meat oseng2 gitu tapi bhs ingrisnya dia “The small silver brown meat mummy” gw mikir ampe bingung apaan tuh silver brown meat.. and alhasil setelah main tebak2an pake gambar2 gitu (iya dia gambar tuh mince meat ama buncis) hehehe and akhirnya gw pikir ooohhh oseng2 mince meat ya darling.. :P ya sudah gw masak deh buncis oseng2 mice meat, Tom anak gw yg satu ini anti bgt ama makanan Indo.. tau kenapa.. dia ngambek nga mo makan dia minta kentang goreng ama chicken nuggets, gw bilang musti makan sayur dan daging dan nasi biar pinter dan jadi keren bodynya.. (soalnya akhir2 ini dia bilang kalo gede dia mo bodynya “hot” ) biasa pengaruh TV …

Akhirnya ngalah juga tapi buncis nya di makan cuma 8 potong, dia abisin dagingnya and setengah porsi nasinya.. (yg kira2 cuma 2 sendok makan!!!) well.. yg penting dia makan deh.. n di tutup ama ice cream deh ama banana.
So.. dinner gw alone with my twin boys yg lagi hyper bgt malem ini bikin gw stressssss…. lari2 kesana sini.. anyway.. gw bikin deh akhirnya oseng2 buncis ama mince meat buta kita ber tiga.

Karena iseng2 liat ada fresh toge sisa laksa kemaren n ada pula kol dan buncis alhasil gw bikin bakwan sayuran hahahahha… sekalian buat cemilan gw and ade gw. and makan bakwan dingin2 depan heater ama saus cabe lampung.. hm.. enak bgt…di tambah makannya pake nasi (dasar deh org indo..) hihihi

Our Wednesday menu May 30th, 2007

I always tend to cook something nice on Wednesday,(Stu’s day off at the moment) so, today we invited Stu’s parents and their Korean student to join us for dinner. I made Chicken satay with rice cake and Seafood laksa today, The satay turns to be more tastier than ever.. he he he

We are using the traditional Indonesian satay burner with charcoal. -try it!!!- (the smell really reminds me of the satay street vendors in Jakarta) *very satisfied with my satay tonight!!!*

Grilled fish with steam rice and corn fritter It does sound good. :)

My children are my soul May 28th, 2007

My twin sons are so cute! why? coz, for them I am their Queen.. and when I ask them how much do you love me they will reply “I love you as deep as the ocean mummy” :P

Despite of their sensitivity (which can be so annoying) they both are so mature for their ages. I really love them so much.They are my life.

Thomas said last night when he grown up he will be a singer so he could sing “oohhh my Queen Lia” huhahahahahha…. while Cameron in the other hand want to be a movie star hahaha…I am enjoying my motherhood with their age now its so much fun to be with compared when they were young,we can do stuffs together :D and They listen most of the time.
About they eating habits, I keep wondering why Thomas,(the eldest twin) does not like Asian food, While Cameron (the youngest twin) loves Asian food, They always been brought up with Asian food though.
I think I am so lucky to have them in my life, when they hurt I am sad…when they happy I feel joy..

After all……………They are my soul :)

Here is today’s food… Dim sim.. aka somay…
