[ueno]

michviv,
i give fresh whole meal/milk/high calcium bread, u can find it from bakery shops like four leaves, isetan. i use cream/whole meal crackers.

zzz,
i use organic instant baby oats, i got mine from Four seasons organic shop at GWC. u can use quarker oats too, i plan to use it when i finish my organic ones.

sharron,
i saw the pasta at the organic section of NTUC parkway, u might wana try there.

gathering: i thot its gona be potluck?

 

[blueangel30]

dreamer...talking abt stock..hehehe i nvr even started making for porridge! I jus dump all the ingredients together and cook 3-4hrs...taste still ok, naturally sweet.

but now M also dislike porridge. i will usually feed her plain rice, noodles etc. She loves the cakes i bake..kekeke, so i specially bake those with lesser sugar.

 

[sharron]

ueno - thanks! NTUC Parkway is close to my place so I shall check it out tomorrow....

Gathering : I guess its easier for everyone if we cater since we have 44 pax for now.....

 

[langlao3]

my girl still like porridge. I bought the pigeon instant porridge to try on days I dun hv time to cook. The quantity is not worth the $ tho.

 

[sharron]

langlao - i bought the Pigeon instant soup and i threw it away after that cos i kindda of not sure if it is good for the babies - But i must agree they are not cheap!

 

[gelyn]

Happy Birthday for all Nov Baby. Been awhile since I login. So much to catch up.

I had celebrated my son's birthday.Everything went well except not much pics was taken though and he slept before the cake-cutting session. Hence, all the guests had to wait for him to wake up from him nap.

Feedback:
Re: Cake
I order mine from E-creative. Not bad...deliver on time. No bad feedback. And my son actually half a slice of the cake!

RE: Catering
I order mine from Neo Gardens and all my guests like it. Keep asking who is my caterer. Comments were good.

Langlao: I also bought the Pigeon Instant Porridge when I don't have time to cook. My son like it though. But I agree its quite expensive. I also bought the Pigeon Crakers.

Re: Bread
Been feeding my son with bread only. he can finish one slice every morning. But I never thought of going with cheese or jam. But after all the idea you all share here, I decided to try.

Think I am not adventurer enough.

Mash Potatoes
I actually let him try when I having KFC for lunch. Haha...without the gravy of cos.

 

[langlao3]

sharron, I bought a carton of Earth's Best instant soup. I intend to use them as sauce for my alphabet pasta.

 

[sleepystar]

Thanks michviv.

sharron,
if it's Bellamy's brand you looking for I think NTUC Parkway no longer bring in when I last checked. You might wanna call and ask first, but NTUC at Tampines Mall shld have it. I go home and check I think I still have 1 box at home not opened but if i rem correctly shld be expiring end Dec or early Jan. If you don't mind I can give it to you, no time to cook.

Ueno,
is quacker oats too hard for them??
L is chewing well already??
A normally just swallows his porridge so I'm not sure if he can chew.

[tweetypie]

Sharron,
I brought ABC pasta from Giant at parkway. Big packet and pasta are mini size, just right for our little ones.

You can cook it either using white sauce, (butter, flour, milk and cheese)you can also add tuna or other types of fish to it too.
Or get one of those baby jar food and heat with pasta, works as pasta sauce.

 

[dreamerhk]

S@L -- i also now trying to bake muffins for kaira but most recipes got sugar ... is ok for our toddlers rite? i have given her abit to try here and there... but still searching for recipes ... u juz reduce the sugar qty required isit?

i baked blue berry muffins for her, she seems to like it too

but the sugar amt in the recipe like quite alot ;p

stock -- thanks mummies for your sharing. i think i going to introduce her to "plain" porridge soon....hehehehe....since she eating like adult, with 2 to 3 "dishes" to go with her porridge...and adults our rice also not cooked with stock ;p

 

[blueangel30]

dreamer, yes jus reduce quantity of sugar. its ok to give abit, dun bake too much at a time.
REcently i started baking French Macarons and she really like them alot. but its really too sweet, so i dun give her often.

in fact no need to give stock cos its best that they start with bland food. but now they turn 1 is ok liao. i even gave my girl noodles and all...

 

[babysage]

Hi mummies, I have brand new Gymboree dresses with tag selling cheap at S$29 each with foc normal postage (bought for USD32 each), including a denim (soft cotton-weaved denim not hard denim) reindeer dress great for Christmas.

My hb also cant make it. he needs to supervise the delivery man for our new electrical stuff.. will b me n cailyn only.

 

[kayemoss]

Mambobb, okie... will take note... Like that hor, i must take note of the catering...

Let me find any catering that can cater for 25pax or below w/o compromising the budget.

Ladies, saw ur emails + sms on the $$ trsf. Hehe, will be able to check tonite coz my IB Token not with me.

 

[elita]

how is claire feeling kaye? better?

Pasta::
I tried bellamy's on T and he couldn't take it le. want to vomit and choke. AHAHHA!! maybe we don't know how to cook le... sian.

 

[langlao3]

cindy, bellamy's pasta hv to cook till very soft. ash only eat when i cook very soft else she'll pwee out.

 

[michviv]

S@L: Wah! You can bake macaroons? I love them!!! =) Remember my trip to Paris in 2006 where I bought 2 boxes back to eat! Yummy! Is there a special mould you use to bake these?

Cindy: Maybe you need to boil the pasta longer till its really soft cos babies are really lazy and dun chew. Ethan is the same pattern. haha. Thats why they choke! =P

Thanks for all the advice on bread! I bought half a loaf of wholemeal bread from Swiss bake at Fusionopolis last night. Spread laughing cow cheese on and he loved eating it for breakfast! =)

We find Ethan is getting more picky with his food once he has tasted more tastier food than he salt &amp; oil free meals so he has refuses to eat his porridge nowadays. So mummies, please think twice before you give more yummy stuff or else you have a gourmet food taster on your hands! haha.

 

[blueangel30]

michviv, wah envy envy..Did u buy from Pierre Herme's? how i wish i can taste the authentic ones...I was inspired when i saw the baking thread all crazy over it. and aft that i bought some from Bakerzin at $1.50 each! So expensive. So i must learn how to perfect it than i can make for myself and friends to eat!

but now still in the practising stage la...no need mould, i use piping bags jus snip the corner and pipe. but the batter consistency must be correct, otherwise the shape wont stay.

this is my latest successful batch - pic taken when in the oven, can see the 'feet' or 'skirt' which is very impt for baking macs.

 

[blueangel30]

and this is Mischa enjoying the 'Macs' from the mummy i ordered the HK cake from. she makes nice and tasty macs.

 

[weishy]

K@ye:transfered the $ too yesterday night

S@L:mischa so fortunate

 

[lhscath]

afternoon mummies,
so many days never login. thanks for the birthday wishes for Jovan. poor Jovan had viral fever the day after his actual birthday &amp; it lasted for 2 days. now he's having cough with phlegm &amp; running/blocked nose. he kept waking up at night b/c he cant breathe properly due to his blocked nose. i tried to let him sleep beside me on the big bed, he can sleep better but i cant sleep at all. coz he snore so loudly due to his blocked nose, like a pig! hahahaa. then poor mummy still gotta go to work. *sigh*

RE: Nap
Jovan is still taking at least 2 naps a day, sometimes 3 in infantcare cos he always take v short naps lasting at most 1hr each. he can sleep much better at home. morning 2hrs &amp; noon 1hr.

RE: Food
he takes cereal for breakfast, brown rice porridge for lunch &amp; cereal for dinner at infantcare. weekends wholemeal bread or instant baby oats for breakfast, rice porridge with fish &amp; veg for lunch &amp; dinner. when i'm lazy or when we are outdoors, he will take rice cereal. i stopped pureeing his food, will shred/dice his veg instead. i try to make his porridge drier too, to the point until my HB will scold me! Jovan can take thin slices of apples too. i think i v lazy, i dun bother to bring porridge when we go out. he just take plain rice cereal =P any mummies doing tat huh?

My hb also cant make it. he is going to KL with his friends again! anyway i dun mind going to the party alone. mummies just help me to take more pics of Jovan, okie? oh i really hope he can recover in time for the party next week.

 

[langlao3]

catherine, did u go on a trip thought u mentioned u were going on one. Hope Jovan recovers soon! Jovan &amp; A have similar diet even on weekends

If we go out, I'll bring porrdige out too unless I hv no time to cook then I'll let her eat baby food. From 13th month, the menu at infant care will change, would you opt for the new menu fully?

 

[michviv]

Catherine: Ethan caught a cold recently as well and kept waking up cos his nose was blocked. You can try using Illadin nose decongestant drops or just prop him up on a pillow. That will help cure the snoring and make it easier to breath so baby will sleep better.

Bringing out food: The food I bring out depends on the time of day but usually its either porridge or fresh fruits + Heinz apple museli.

k@ye: can add Ethan to the list of babies sharing the big pot of porridge. Got your email. Will transfer you the $$ tonight.

 

[michviv]

S@l: Your macaroons looks so delicious! No leh, I bought from a dessert shop my friend recommended. My hubby loves chocolates so got 1 box of chocolates for him and 2 boxes of macaroons for me. Can you PM me the recipe? Do you need to buy a sheet pan for baking?

 

[langlao3]

anyone giving gripe water or Nature’s Way - Bio-Certified Sambucus For Kids? Want to know if you dilute with water or just feed straight from the bottle. Gripe water can give daily?

 

[steffietan]

hi moms,

does anyone know where to get thermal wear for babies? my daughter is small sized la..so cannot fit into e thermal wear meant for her age..hehee..

mothercare n kiddy palace proved futile. let me know k..

tks.

 

[lazykat]

S@l,
I love macs too!! Tried bakerzin, Canele, but really heartache whenever u pop one in.. yummy!

Michviv,
inspired by the baking madness also? Keep it up!

Re: Pasta
I tried Bellamy's star pasta but u hv to cook it really soft, by then its so gluey. Now I juz used the San Remo's spiral pasta (3 colours type) but gotta cut it into halves or smaller for ZY to chew.

I am worse, never cook stock, simply throw in 1 pork loin for the flavour. With the fish, vege (esp pumpkin), actually its already quite tasty.

Catherine,
i find it more convenient to bring cooked porridge out leh.. since i still cook 2 meals at 1 go. Only when i hv no time to cook in the morning will i bring muesli/baby food jar. It wont hurt for a few meals lah..

 

[smileysmiley]

I almost always bring cooked porridge out for J.

Think the flu bug is really here. My J also got a flu but doc says it's viral and not worrying. So, just flu medicine.

But he just recovered from stomach flu and not 100% well yet too.. Poor boy.

Catherine; hope Jovan recovers soon.

 

[kayemoss]

Hi ladies, got ur payment liao! THanks!

Mich, sure no problem.

RE: Flu
Claire still having it but i din give her any medication coz its difficult to give her the nose drop. So now and then, we will wipe her nose from the muscus... I quite evil mummy one, told my Mum to let her cry so that the muscus will come out and wont block the nose!

[blueangel30]

michviv, ok will send u the recipe when i have time cos these few days mad rush for me. but the one i m using is quite complicated, need to use a candy thermometer.

Lazykat, oh u did? do u prefer Canele's or Bakerz? ihavent tried Canele's..i hope my standard is ok cos hubby commented that the texture and taste is correct. since u stay so nearby, if i have extras and can 'make it' ones i 'throw' some over to u ok? u still SAHM right?

oh K@YE, Dokiesim might be joining us. but she is busy recently so i will forward the email u sent to us over to Dokie ok? as for the money thingy, u liase with her on that day if she is there hor?

 

[kayemoss]

S@l, no problem...

For the catering hor, i think i go ahead with Eatzi gourmet after doing the $$ count.... Those reliable caterers who catered for min 25pax at least $15/pax.... So, i will go for 30pax... On next Sat, u all dun paiseh to eat... Dun eat, lugi! Haha!

Me just worried, not enough food...

 

[weishy]

K@ye:not enough then we stop eating lor kekkekekkekek

 

[weishy]

See all mommies/daddies and babies tomorrow!!!!dun forget cake cuting is 1pm

SEE YA~~~~~~

 

[langlao3]

k@ye, u got the tpt waived?

 

[kayemoss]

Langlao, my fren got the card so tpt will be waived bah.

 

[lazykat]

S@l,
yeah, me still SAHM tho not at home most of the time.. ha. I can't really say which ones i prefer, cos sometimes its the flavour that i choose. But i typically like rose, chocolate, no need too fanciful tastes. I even tried The cafe's macs @ Parkway cos i liked their pasta

Weishy,
see ya tmr! Will give ZY early lunch so can target 12:30pm reach.

K@ye,
dun worry abt food not enuf, cos very rarely will it happened! Will transfer the $$ shortly. I can't help with decor cos dun think can reach before 3pm (ZY naptime) but can help with misc stuffs on that day. Just call out ok!

Got virus again ah.. not surprising with the hot and rainy weather.. all mummies n babies do take care!

 

[michviv]

S@l:Sure, thanks! Take your time. =) Wah, what is a candy thermometer man? I see I have plenty to learn in the baking department. =P Too bad I don't stay near you or else you can "throw" some macaroons my way also. haha.

Cactusnah: Saw Eagan's photos on facebook! He's such a handsome boy! =) Can tell everyone in your family spent alot of effort in making the party a success. Next year, I will learn from you and DELEGATE work! haha!

 

[blueangel30]

michviv,
here's the recipe link:
http://www.myfoodgeek.com/2007/06/08/almost-foolproof-macarons/

i tried another method posted by the baking mum thread, but no luck. each time failed. this almost foolproof one i tried once, failed as well , that time no thermometer i jus agar the temp.
2nd time i tried, which is the pic i posted earlier. today i tried again, success! post pics later.

oh ya recipe didnt say u have to 'age' the egg whites. usually i will crack the eggs and 'age' the whites in the fridge for at least 2 days.this is to remove the excess moisture from the eggs to achieve the texture and 'feet'.

Good luck in trying ur macs!

Lazykat, i see if i have enough to go around or not...maybe can throw u some.

 

[starmiffmel]

k@ye,
i never receive email leh...
i go check again my other emails.

 

[michviv]

S@l: Haha, thanks! I don't think I will have the energy to go source for ingredients and equipment anytime soon. Maybe can consider after CNY next year or see if I can encourage/tempt my MIL to experiment with me. She's an expert cook but she has not done macaroons before. *evil grin*

What is this "baking thread" everyone is talking about? Can post the link? I can't find it leh...=P

Trial class (playdays@sunset way) : Oh mummies! Just emailed them on the spur of the moment and they now have a Saturday trial class from 3-4.30pm. I've put Ethan's name down for tomorrow's class but I'm not sure if there is anymore space. You can always call to inquire 64654481.

PM me if you're coming along so we can say "hi"!
