caymom,
u shd try it. Porridge smell quite nice when added w tat.

Tho my ger is still rejecting porridge recently. I tried the porridge, tastes v nice leh.. dunno y she dun like.

My mum was saying that ikan bilis got more calcium lah. Good for bb's bone development. But I find it more salty than yin yu, so reluctant to use it.

 

[jogok]

sanrio, wat's the recipe? Quick quick share..

 

[caymom]

<font color="ff0000">Sanrio,</font>
Wow... sounds really nice. What is the recipe for the 'love porridge'?

<font color="aa00aa">JG,</font>
I added ikan bilis to my elder gal's porridge when she was a baby. She likes it but I agree that it is more salty so I hesitate to use it on bbcay now.

<font color="0000ff">Hi Cheetos and Cool_daughter,</font>

Now left with 5 teams!!

Last week ratings:
1) Singapore team
2) Phillippines team
3 &amp; 4) Malaysia teams
5) Thai team

Rumors said that the Malaysia's sisters will ultimately win the US$100k

. The phillippines team will be second. Don't know how true

??

Gossip a bit:

Both couples are dating

,
Rov &amp; Vanessia is a pair!
Marc &amp; Paula is a pair!

 

[cool_daughter]

wow, the SIN team finally comes in first. i hope they win

We are Singapore .. We are Singapore .. We will stand together hear the lion roar !!

 

[sanrio]

Caymom, JG,
1) Stock:
ms tan uses 'tao tui ku' but me use 'leng ku' or 'ba tao'. can use fish bones also.
wash, boil bones, discard d water (so as to remove 'porky' smell, oil or blood if any)
boil d bones, somtx i add carrot n potato or beijing cai or carrot n corn or lotus root n black bean (whatever combination as i oso prepare d soup for my boy). so far corn soup is very sweet n fragrance.
2) 'Ma Yu San' Organic 5 Grains Rice
wash n grind
3) cook grinded rice w stock over slow fire for abt 20 mins.
4) steam 'yao rou' or 'beef fillet cut' (these 2 are the tender portion of d meat) - grind, add to porridge b4 serving
5) steam vege: brocolli or calliflower, pumpkin, zuchinni, carrot, or any organic green vege, sweet beans etc
- mash, strain if necessary, add to porridge b4 serving

so far, i hvnt added fish since tat tx she gave d yucky look wen i gave her steam, flake threadfin. oso i hvnt introd chicken. some days, i dun serve her meat. as the stock oreadi contain meat. n i may gave her 2 vege combination instead.
once a while, i freeze d stock but usually i cook evytg fresh.

[cool_daughter]

Pgal,
The timing crash wif bbJ's milk &amp; sleeping time 2nite I try &amp; watch.

 

[jjloo]

sanrio,
so now your bb like to eat porridge already? I remember previously you mentioned that she doesnt like.

Ok, I will try this recipe too....hopefully, my bb will like it.

Where do you get the 5 grain rice? NTUC ?

 

[sanrio]

janet,
yup now she takes 2 meals porridge a day

yup ntuc or cold storage.

 

[sanrio]

janet, caymom, jg,
oh, d pork is not 'yao rou', shd b 'zhen mei rou'.

 

[sanrio]

janet,
hope ur bb wld like d porridge

for stock, i cook a small pot but with quite generous amt of ingredients so is very 'sweet'.

 

[bugs]

sanrio
can ask u brocolli n calliflower must steam then mash n add in? can put in together while cooking in slow cooker?

 

[wonder_baby]

sgn
u can steam , mash then add into the porridge. or you can even add it straight in the slow cooker abt 5-10 mins before the porridge is done. then take out and blend

 

[sanrio]

sgn,
for my non fussy ash, yup i dump into slow cooker but vege last wen porrridge abt ready. but not too late else wont b soft.
for my a bit more choosy cher, i steam then mash.

 

[zhuzhu]

sanrio
where u get the 5 grain rice?

 

[sanrio]

zhuzhu,
twice fr ntuc (hb bought) n once i bought fr taka cold storage. there are actually more than 5 grains in it. whenever i cook (wen hb is ard or mum came visit), they said it smell so fragrance.

 

[bugs]

sanrio
i know 5 grains is good but i dun like so i also dun feel like giving my boy hee hee.

 

[zhuzhu]

sanrio
thks!..i will go hunt for it in NTUC

 

[caymom]

Sanrio,
Thanks for sharing. I'll try out after I get hold of the ingredients.

 

[miss_shop_a_lot]

Umm, a bit shy to ask but any mummy from the May thread found herself pregnant? Or anyone with their kids 15 months apart? Need some advice on how to cope

 

[sanrio]

cheetos,
tks for asking. he is seeing d paed surgeon agn on 14 feb. wld nid a surgery.

flora,
u can check out apr thread, there are few preg mummies there.

 

[jackiejillie]

hi flora

my 2 kids are 18 months apart in age. Calendar year wise, it should be 2 years apart. Hard to cope sometimes.... having a maid helps alot, esp with housework.

 

[cheongyw]

Sanrio,

What happen? Did I misread it? Your baby needs a surgery? Why? Do u mind telling me more?

 

[dolly]

pisces/cool,

The fili team v cute hor?? Are your gossip news true that the couples are dating?

flora,

My kids are 18 mths apart. It's not too bad, like what jackie says, it's a great help with a maid around. Otherwise, the 2 can be sticky and you have to constantly attend to both. Elder one can get jealous quite easily and gotta carry both at the same time!

 

[jackiejillie]

hi sanrio

I also like the five grains very much. I grind them and add into the porridge when i cook for my baby. Very fragrant! She loves it too. But need to grind cos takes a longer time to cook it alone like tat...

 

[sanrio]

piscesgal,
is my older boy. he has hydrocele.

 

[sanrio]

j&amp;j,
u add d grinded 5 grains to white porridge? i cook d 5 grains as porridge. yup very fragrant

n high in fibre. my girl has no problem pooing w tat. but wkend if i feed her cereal, she wld hv a harder tx trying to poo.

 

[jackiejillie]

yes, i added 5 grains to brown rice porridge. I still feeding her mainly brown rice porridge, cos we bought quite a few packs of 1kg rice previously. i tink she likes brown rice porridge very much.

 

[wildiris]

[bugs]

sanrio
can check with u the 5 grains need to be soak over nite?
how long does it need to be cook till very mashy?

 

[zhuzhu]

sanrio
i just got the 5 grains rice at cold storage..soo excited..wanted to cook for bb this wkend

 

[sanrio]

sgn,
yes soak overnite if u dun intend to grind. i tink nid to cook quite long for d grains to becum mashy as so many types. for me, i wash, grind into powder then cook. cos cher dun like 'yi li yi li' texture.

zhuzhu,

hi jeanyard

U should close 1 eye and open 1 eye to whoever is taking care of your baby now. Cos it'll be hard for u to be particular abt alot of things. I had the same problem when i was preggie with my 2nd one. My mum told me tat since my 1st one is not so baby now, just leave him to be more indept, and not so particular abt hygiene. If not I'll go crazy no time.

 

[bugs]

Jeanyard
ya u must think of urself 1st, just got to close 1 eye, sometimes we just can't control things we want it to be.
