bkkgal, er... so today not on ah? If so, how about next week? next fri?
leila, I am good, just super busy as usual hee. Hope to meet up soon. I defnitely dont believe in an overly sanitised environment and I try my best not to buy any 'antibacterial' products at home unless I am out of stock and need something urgently and can only find atibacterial versions on the shelves.
beefstew- I dont follow a special recipe for bb leh, I cook beefstew for US, and give bb some before seasoning. I use stock, beef shin cubes, carrots as a base. As a 'thickener' and to add extra nutrients, I add either pearl barley (VERY little, like two teaspoons fo whole pot), or red lentils (er.. 1-2 tablespoon+). And stew over low fire for 3-5 hours (ard 3+ hours for stovetop, 5 hours for slow cooker). then an hour before its ready, I add cubed potatoes and/or mushrooms (white/brown buttons). Voila!
Iso, lol this mummy u mentioned who is super clean, she must have either only one child and/or definitely have a maid/village to help out. If I enforce her rules, then I think we'll all only go out once a week instead of daily.
crystal, no you arent silly at all, in fact I think you are a v good wife! As long as your hubby knows and appreciates all your effort, I think its all worth the while. And plus, I am sure you wont regret looking after your own kids.
