Steffi,
if you're making soup... add in all the stuffs into the inner pot, put over the high fire on the stove. once started boiling, transfer the inner pot into the "thermal pot" and cover. and the end of the day when you're back from work, the soup is really to serve!
no need electricity or gas ... it's safe if no one at home to monitor and can save $$

mspiggy: Wow, the tiger thermal pot is really ex compared to endo. They are huge too! Smallest is 3l. I feel that 1.8l already v big.
Steffi: Like what mspiggy says, u put the inner pot to cook over the stove. After boiling, move the whole inner pot into the thermal outer pot and close. It'll supposedly continue to cook even though it's not on the stove.

Happy Birthday Zavier n Jerica!!
Fiona's birthday was yesterday. We had a mini celebration for her with her cousins on Friday at home. She fell asleep before photo taking but when we whispered "Barney Birthday cake" into her ears, she was wide awake again! Hee hee
Yesterday, Fiona suddenly recited A to Z without me prompting her... felt so happy listening to it
Hiaz.. my maternity leave is gonna end in 3 weeks time. Sob sob. My boss was worried i would tender my resignation after that 
But i think for the sake of saving more $$$ for the kids education, better work. Yesterday's Sunday times says i need almost $1m for the 3 to go overseas wor
gosh faint

<font face="tahoma"> hi tinklebell,
fiona is looking more like you!
i read abt that on the papers... told my hubby he can forget abt early retirement aleady!
done digital perm before... to me it's all the same. just PERM! but according to my stylist she said it's less damaging to our hair. as per maintain, i think perm needs quite alot of maintain. need to apply cream/oil else looks fizzy for me. rebonding is the best option for me! </font>

mspiggy: Hmm, 1.8l only 2 servings of porridge ah.... I'll need to check my pressure pot size at home. I'm currently using the small WMF pressure pot for soup, think it's 2.2l or 2.5l. That's just nice for about 3-4 adults. My hub sometimes complain that the soup is not "nong" from pressure cooking cos it's not cooked over fire. Wondering if thermal cooking can help in that aspect.

rebonding is the best but then my hair has been rebonded before and is v dry. i did rebonding on rebonded hair previously at kimage and it turned frizzy! so i think i will stay off rebonding for a while. am using those ceremic hot tongs to straighten once in a while ... needs a lot of effort to do tat

try soft rebonding... it's using a less damaging cream and the effect looks very natural! i like it.
you can try it at HairInn at AMKhub B1 (right at the corner). Look for Suzanne Kong (Tel : 6853 4609 / 6853 0823) Think they are having some promos right now. No harm checking it out.

Joyfulmum,

Thanks for the birthday wishes and compliments Mummies!!
Celeste, her cake is 3kg.
MT, nice train theme for Zavier's birthday.
Tinklebell, Fiona's white dress is very nice. Aaron is so grown up already. And yes he is really BRAVE to carry the huge snake on his neck.
Mspiggy, double thumbs up for the thermal pot, my mum uses that to cook soup for us nowdays.

Happy Birthday Zavier!
He got very nice big cake and a beautiful jelly.
mspiggy,
I have got a thermal cooker too. But bought from Robinsons. hmm... Need long time to prepare soup in it. Get the size that suit the family. I got a big one. It's not efficient. Cos if the pot not filled to 3/4, gotta reheat a few times and heat lost is fast. Nowadays, cos boiling for lunch, I am cooking over the stove fire. Not enough time to allow it to slowly cook inside the thermal pot. Then store the pot of soup inside for dinner. My hubby complaining why I buy the expensive thermal pot since I am boiling over the stove now And put away my pressure cooker one side also
rodeo,
Happy birthday ER
hahaha... you remind me to take out my long forgotten pressure pot to boil soup again
tinklebell,
Happy birthday Fiona!
$1m for 3 to go overseas, provided they dun do medicine
rodeo,
If you want the ingredients of the soup to be "nua nua", you need to boil over fire. If you like the ingredients to be whole and cooked, thermal pot is best. Else you will need to boil a few times using the thermal pot. Alternatively, can use thermal pot to "cook" for long hours, then boil over stove for half an hour, then the ingredients will be "nua nua" and the soup very "nong" lor...
Nowadays, I am using my thermal pot to boil over the stove fire cos I want the beans to "melt" in the soup. Cos my A only wants soup and plain rice. If he's mood is good, then will eat the ingredients.
mspiggy,
If you like grainy red bean soup, thermal pot is good. But I prefer "nua nua" red bean soup.

tinklebell: Wow, aaron is so brave to hold the big snake!
lyn: Thank you for your birthday wishes. Hmm, think I'll give thermal pot a miss cos i also prefer nua to whole soup. You should take out your pressure pot to use cos it produces v nua ingredients for soup. You can pressure cook it 2x, ie up 2 rings, off fire, when pressure is gone, put pot back onto stove to go up another 2 rings. Alternatively, when it's 2 rings up, turn your fire low to simmer for 15min. All the ingredients inside will be very very soft. Pressure pot do very good nua nua red/gree bean soup 8) For me, pressure pot is a must-have cos it makes soup cooking v easy, just throw everything in and it'll be done in half hour. Save time, save gas

your girl going to start piano lesson? private tutor?
toto,
is Jake still attending school? Din see him yesterday when I was there.
I left work early to go to bring J to Dr Terence Tan for referal. He agreed that there are some indicator flags about J that require further assessment... so we were refered to a educational psychologist. Hope to make appointment asap... Felt that she does not have very good eye contact and not to mention her speech. She can say single words but not all the time will say. I am just feeling very concerned about her apparent delay in communication development... so I guess its time to do serious intervention.

MTDT,
think her eye contact problem also mild. She does have eye contact but not all the time. Family members felt she got those type of "bochap" indifferent attitude. Like in her own world most times. And her speech is definitely too slow.
toto,
during the parent teacher chat, they did mentioned they felt a little concern that J had not spoken to them at all till recently she utter a few words.

poohy,
Hope J will have a quantum development soon
Are you still continuing the flashcards and speed reading cards?
A's teacher at SM recommended more speed reading for speech and language development. A's speech development not fast too. Nowadays, he's stammering a lot. I just have to be patient with him when he wanna speak.
