xy, I tried yr bread recipe yesteday. using 1 3/4 cup of flour n 2 tspn of yeast. dunno it was a flop. the texture came out like hardened "fa gao". I made another batch last nite using my old recip but with 1 1/2 tspn of yeast n the end result was softer. my hb loves it.
isobellies, tks! it was so easy to cook n nice to eat too!

straw mug
actually i found the best way to get my son to drink water is just to use straws. when we go out i just ask for warm water and a straw and he'll happily drink a lot... heh.

Hiya mommies
Haven't been able to log on for a while. Great to see quite a number of mommies trying out new bread recipes! The kaya recipe looks great too! gonna try this weekend.
Constipation problem
I am happy to report that K's prob is fully resolved. In fact, she doesn't want to get up from the potty nowadays whereas in the past, she refused to sit on the potty. That means, no more pain or straining during potty time, no more fear. She very funny, sometimes she just wanna sit on potty to pass wind!
Btw, ABC the LifeFlora probiotic is really effective (more effective than the Watson's Probiotics for Babies and Children). I think because of LifeFlora, she is able to go everyday now and guess what, the poo is not so smelly as before. Means that the good bacteria has combated the bad. Highly recommend this LifeFlora and I calculated, it is actually cheaper than the Watson's one.
ToddlerBed
Me too looking for toddler bed. I looked alot of places but so far, only Ikea has more selection which is affordable. Ikea has a basic unit going for $49 (UP $199) now...very tempted to just get it cos they only use it for 2-3 years...no need to spend too much $$. The bed rail is $15 for 1. It's not very pretty but I thought maybe I could paint it up nicely myself.

tongtong, yah. i think if i am working, i will miss being with my boy. i like cooking (not so much of baking) but i'm not so much of a gd housewife. my house is messy and not clean. so either i slog hard to maintain a clean house or less play time with my boy.
the best will be being a sahm with helper. ;p

re: cooking/baking
clover,
which bread recipe are you talking about? 1 3/4 cup flour + 2 tsp instant dry yeast is what i used earlier
if i can remember, my recipe calls for:
2/3 cup milk
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 package active dry yeast (i used 2 tsp instant dry yeast instead)
you mean the texture is a lot of holes but very hard? what's the difference of your old recipe from mine?
more flour? more sugar?
i made a potato loaf over the weekend. it's hard.
probably i substitute same amount of milk/water with 1/2 mashed potato + 1/2 potato water. too much solid, i think.
i tried another loaf of cranberry + oat bread last night.
it seems to have a bitter aftertaste. all 1/4 cup of my instant oat seems dissolved in the dough - cannot see or taste.
1/4 cup of dried cranberry seems to be too little too.
don't know why the bitter aftertaste, probably due to the marigold apple+cranberry juice?
your roasted chicken looks nice..
re: straw cup
esther,
yup. i didn't sterilise the magmag.
if i fit the rubber ring correctly, it doesn't leak.
but the cover pops up more often now. i inspected and found that it's because the catch has worn out.
iso,
I asked for a plastic cup and straw when i eat at restaurant too.
it serves as an entertainment for C. but i need to constantly help her hold the cup to prevent spilling.
re: toddler bed
bkkgal,
Ikea toddler bed so cheap? why toddler bed only use for 2-3 years? after that change to normal bed?

Hey all, I came across this blog and I was saddened by it. It's about a not quite 4yo girl's battle with stage 4 cancer. Her chance of survival is very low if she continue to seek treatment here in SG. Her chance will be higher if she receive a drug treatment from US, but the medical fee is very hefty.
Little Charmaine's blog is at--> http://ourfeistyprincess.blogspot.com/
Her medical report--> http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/campaign/docs/letter_from_Dr_Aung.pdf
I'm trying my best to help them. No, I am not related to them in anyway, but I am sure if you read her story, you will be as moved as I am.
Please pass on this message to your family/friends/colleagues and if you can, donate or raise funds for her.

RE: Mag Mag
I don't sterilize James' MagMag but the cover pops open so often I got fed up and trimmed the straw. I had always thought that the straw is the force behing pushing the cover open. It's shorter than usual but it works!
Leak: Xiaoyun's right..if you place the rubber ring correctly it will not leak (or leak as much) But I will still put the MagMag in a plastic bag cos it will usually still leak a bit.

bluegin,
consumer based company slower responds to economy downturn?
yesterday newspaper say economy rebounds.
but today government say keep status quo: cut pay to keep jobs. no hope to revert my paycut too.
for straw, how do you know that she's not ready for it? just let her play play and suddenly one day she will know how. no worry.
clover,
the girl looks so cheerful in the photo. so sad for her too.. i can't imagine how i would react if this happen to me.
re: toddler bed
i've decided to use matteress instead of getting the bed since it can be used till primary school only. (although i guess C can use it longer as she's has her mummy's short short genes)
i am now considering to convert my study room to her bedroom next time. but now still don't feel like shifting the bookshelves and tables. will KIV the plan and see how.
re: bread
hehe..
i've finished the cranberry & oats bread. going to make another loaf!!
either will make cream cheese bread or yogurt bread. depends on my mood later tonight.

the roast pork i made yesterday
clover,
are you talking about the old dough method:
http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/cass-bakinglab/article?mid=969
that's not the recipe to make a bread. the dough has to be added into your normal bread recipe.
i splitted the old dough into 7 portions, freeze it.
every loaf of bread add in 1 portion.
it doesn't have butter and sugar, the taste must be yucky.
