Dinner

Had a mega craving for Spaghetti vongole 2 Saturdays ago and decided to venture into making that for dinner.

Chicken nuggets for starters:


Delicious Spaghetti vongole.I bought fresh clams from the market. Half a kg for the two of us. Simply heavenly


Baked salmon and broccoli rice for Isaac.

My baking journey - Banana muffins

Caught on the baking bug these few days.

Decided to bake after attending a cooking demonstration on how to use my oven. The trainer gave us receipe for banana muffins. Thus decided to try it out the very moment i return home since I have all the ingredients waiting for me at home.

The finished product!! Soft and moist...

Weekend

Weekends – a two day break from the usual work week.
Work last week had been hectic. My last weekend was burnt, trying to rush a paper out for the Board of Trustees. The few days of reduced sleep left me feeling very groggy and lethargic throughout the week. So I am very glad for this weekend. In fact, I cannot wait for it to come!
It finally came! I wanted to start my weekend on the Friday night catching up on housework. But sad to say, I slept while putting Isaac to bed as well. Sat came. We started the day with breakfast (as usual) with 4th auntie. We went to Chinatown. Had a variety of food (wanton mee, porridge, yam cake, chee cheong fun, braised chicken leg, siew mai, har kow, carrot cake, etc) which led Isaac to make this comment:” Wow, are we eating buffet?”
After that, we decided to go to RWS to take a look. None of us had been there, so we all decided that we do a boardwalk, pay $1 each for admission and then walk around RWS.

Took some pictures of the place. Majority are picts of this chocolate shop which made me feel as if I am up in the Candyland of Magic Faraway Tree.
