Dlim,

just another thought - spin off from Mrs Lai's potato patty, can also use fish (salmon, cod, white fish) and make fish cakes.

-Peel, wash, quarter and boil potatoes for 15 mins, then mash
- poached fish for 10 mins then flake, remove bones
- combine potatoes, fish a little milk and can season with salt/pepper/parsley or whatever you feel like...shape into cakes/patties
- pan-fry (it's already cooked, just doing it for texture)

hehe... just remembered, Jesse also likes the instant pigeon foods. I'd boil plain rice or pasta, heat the packet up and mix with the rice/pasta. He loves the sea bream or white fish ones, hates tuna.

D,
You are really lucky that Jesse eats Jar Food and instant pigeon foods! at least you have something to fall back on when Jesse is having his meal strikes.

BTW, anyone know if Cash Convertor takes in Bumbo seats?

Me back home one week liaoz….dun think Jonas is still missing me guah…..unless he worry I suddenly disappear for another one week without notice….hahhaha!

U sure you prefer Jordan to like to be carried? Very tiring one lei! I ‘m the opposite…hoping Jonas will start walking and like it!


Agent D
Dun think my boy has ever been independent…he kinda “Gu Niang”…unlike Jesse and Jordan.


Mrs Lai / Agent D
Both of you are good cooks…haha…I’m like trying to imagine but can’t really get it on the instructions for your recipes. I only know everything throw into slow cooker or boil/steam in the pot/wok.

By the way, is it better to use salt or soya sauce to make our babies’ food taste better??

SD,
if u really want to add a bit of seasoning, i wld prefer a tiny bit of sea salt than soya sauce. so far hm cooked food for cher is seasoning free but some food she takes like breakfast cereal does contain little bit of salt, i m fine w tat.

[jessesmom]

Dlim,
I don't think the pigeon food has seasoning, then again i don't read Japanese. But I think disneytokyo mentioned before that there's no preservatives and what not. AND it's not going to be worse than the food I feed him when we're outside! haha.

But I've been tasting it, I don't think it's seasoned or it's very slightly seasoned if any...

Jesse loves fishy smell...he loves salmon and cod. Threadfin too mild for him.

SpringD,
everything I cook is agar-agar (estimate) one. I love experimenting lah...my HB thinks my cooking is strange, I'd like to think it's "creative". haha. (Okay, maybe I'm just bored...)

I used to watch www.foodnetwork.com all the time.

And I cooked a fair bit too lah...I just haven't been doing it since J was born.

As for seasoning children's food, I'm guilty of giving him some of our table foods already so it has soy sauce and salt and what not. But if it's solely for him to eat, I don't put seasoning...though, for example, for his pasta with scramble egg, I dilute a little vegemite and mix it with the egg for a little taste And he loves pepper... but like coold, my boy already eats outside food so I don't try so hard lah...his only dietary restriction now is dairy.

Sanrio,
Jesse love digging into my kitchen drawers now....I must really look through them and keep the sharp objects away. My home isn't childproof!

Princess' Patties

Ingredients
1 large potato - peeled and cubed into 1 inch bits
2 small shallots (or 1 small onion) - finely chopped
1 small heap of finely grated carrot (use the smallest holes) (about 2 to 3 tablespoon)
a handful of spinach or other green leafy veggies - washed, squeezed dry and finely chopped
2 tablespoon of meat - finely grounded or mince (I used pork)
1 large egg (or 2 egg whites)

Method
1. Cover the cubed potatoes with water in a pan and add a pinch of salt. Boiled till cooked. Alternatively, cover the cubed potatoes with water in microwavable bowl, add a pinch of salt, and microwave on high for 8 minutes (or till cooked). Drain and mash. Set aside.
2. Heat non-stick frying pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil and shallots and turned to low heat. Cooked till translucent (not brown). Add meat. Season with a little salt/ light soy sauce and pepper - it should be slightly over salted. Add carrots and spinach and mix well. Fry till cooked.
3. Remove meat and veggies from pan, into the bowl containing the mash potatoes. Mix well. Add egg and stir to combine thoroughly.
4. Hear non-stick frying pan on low heat and use a little oil to oil the pan (use a piece of kitchen towel to mop the oil all over the pan). Add spoonfuls of the egg-potato-meat mixture and slowly cook. You need to flip it to cook it like a pancake. Try not to "burn" it on high heat - we should not be introducing carcinogens to them at such a young age!

Tips: You can add peas, brocolli, etc too. It's really up to you! If you are using fish, cook the fish and then flake it - there's not need to mince or chop it before cooking.

Note: since I started using the grounded toasted ikan billis, i use it in place of salt. So if you have the same thing, just omit salt, add as necessary to the mash potatoes mixture BEFORE adding the egg and adjust accordingly. Once the taste is ok, then add egg to mixture.

blueroti: Aiyo ... you got tell Dr Tan what the other 2 said or not? Anyway Dr Tan got 4 kids of his own, so I guess he not so kan cheong type He got say me before, cuz everytime my gal goes for the jab I will go out of the room (I cannot stand looking at the needle) so he say my "nervousness" will rub off my gal so I should be present - and he keep saying it's not painful!!!! which is true, cuz my gal just stare at him during and after the jab (didn't cry).

Sunday is ok with me also - I'll be at tanglin Mall at 11 to 12:15. Let's work out how to meet later.

Alternatives to salt/ soya sauce - I was looking at the Braggs website and they were saying that their liquid amino (contains dunno how many essential amino acids) is a healthy alt to soya sauce. I bought one but yet to try - i passed it to my mum's side cuz they cook for my gal occasionally so I told them to use it in place of salt/ soya sauce. You can read it up at: http://www.bragg.com/products/liquidaminos.html

Seems like I’m not alone facing extremely difficult bbs. Hahah..
Gladys quite poor thing coz she got 6 teeth coming out at the same time. I can feel her pain but I can’t tolerate her behaviour.

D
Gladys cries easily too. In fact, when we raise our voice at her, she’ll ‘cry’. Like when her daddy scolds her, she’ll run to me, lie on my shoulder and cry but without any tears! So fake. But damn cute coz very drama. Sometimes we’ll make fun of her and take turns ‘scolding’ her.

CoolD
Same! I find it a torture to shop with bb now. She’s like a little monster. Always destroying things along her way. I’m more afraid of the sharp edges of the display shelves.

Kelley,

As long as she is active and pd nvr say she underweight its okay.
