Wan Cheun,

I LOVE cheese and use a lot of cheese to do pasta dishes...
Usual cooking cheese is mozzerella, parmesan and cheddar.

Cheese blocks are cheaper, as you have to shred the cheese yourself, no difference in quality.

Gourmet cheese is for eating with crackers. Many are labelled "blue cheese" and has a very strong smell and taste.

Those cube cheeses like bel Cheese and laughing cow are for every day eating, kids like it.

Bigfamingo:
Thanks, I have got ur email. Will choose photos tonight. Only 1 will do right? I shrink to low resol so that your email won't get choked?

JJmom:
Thanks for ur advice on vicks.

You are right. When buying clothes, we still have to consider whether will look too young or old. Sigh.. thought that this year will be easier since don't need to bf anymore. I think in the worse case, I'll wear back the clothes I bought last year, which I wore only once or twice haha.

 

[jetudes]

Bigflamingo:
Opps sorry spelt ur name wrongly in the previous post. I see, thanks for explaining the different kinds of cheese. Guess cheese blocks are my best choices now, gourmet is out. Can cube cheese be used for cooking? Like add to porridge or pasta?

Din wear dress for ages...But haaa lucky managed to purchase a dress which got zip at the chest there so I can still wear and bfeed!! *LOL* ;p

Btw mummies whose bubs had taken the MMRV jab orie, does ur bub developed any mild fever??

Kaelyn was warm yest and today, I did suspected teething oso cos she was drooling recently and luv to bite things and was cranky at night especially yest, she was soo annoyed and irritated while sleeping..sigh!!

Btw does barley water helps to keep body temp down??
If yes, can share with me how u mummies boiled the barley water and which kind of barley to use?? Thhxxss! ;D

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi nickypower:

usually within first 5 days from MMR jab will depend fever..

my son took and first time ever from his vaccinations no fever.

yes barley does help bring down fever - china barley boil for more than 1 hr

 

[tracee]

nicky,

i bot those barley in a tin type.
Rem once the barley is boiled, dun reboil it again cos it will b heaty instead of cooling ..

 

[nickypower]

vanilla- Kaelyn felt warm/feverish yest which is the 5th day of the jab lor.
Just boil the barley itself with water yah? Need to add anything else?? How much barley to how many litres of water??
U meant slow fire and boil/simmer for an hr ah??

Trace- Which tin type u referring to??
U boil for how long??

Trace-

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

hi nicky - yup just boil the barley seeds w water no need any thing else. depends on whether u want it thick or diluted...yup i use low fire for 1 hr or not no more water and will be cooked barley like rice

I think trace refers to ayam brand... the rooster brand type.

 

[nickypower]

vanilla- Icc ok ok, so u buy those packet type from Medical shops?? China barley yah??

 

[tracee]

nicky,

i bot the red &amp; yellow tin one. think got one chicken head there one..if i rem correctly
for me..once i see it boiling i off it n cool it liao
usually i add a bit of pandan leaves

[annetan84]

[kare2711]

joanne
No idea! Have to ask the other two.

Mint
Since you come from Forum, possible to help me get tubs? Can get from Watson's. I need 4 x 3. Thanks!

 

[kare2711]

busy bee
are you bringing maid?

 

[xxinyingxx]

bra size... mine seems to have shrank to pre-preggy size. Sigh... And i have not yet wean.

 

[xxinyingxx]

how to wean huh??
I was on antibiotics for my badly inflamed tonsils... and doctor warned that i may LS. But it's still safe for BFing.

In the end, i didn't LS, marcus LS 5 times! Sigh... Tried again to wean. He cry non-stop! How to wean leh??

 

[vanilla_pod_2]

first try toothpaste
then try chilli
last resort wasabi

the last works for my colleague

 

[annetan84]

xy,
i have the same problem as you. rianne still doesn't like to drink formula. i tried mixing a little bit of juice but it still depends on her mood. sometimes she will drink sometimes she won't. but definitely at night she will want to latch no matter what. really don't know how to wean her off.

 

[thebusybee]

Karen, on second thoughts I think might be easier to meet at Forum? Yeah maid will be with me. You ok?

 

[annetan84]

karen,
ok then. will sms them later.

xy,
by the way, my friend used grated ginger to wean her baby off latching.

 

[annetan84]

busy bee, karen, mint,
i'm ok meeting at forum. can sms me later if it's confirmed? gotta go liao. have to go cook dinner and feed rianne. thanks thanks! see you gals tom.

 

[nickypower]

Thxxss vanilla &amp; Trace..

Weaning:
Saw fdrom an article, the PD asked the mummy to try applying vinegar on the nipples and most bubs will be turned off by the smell!!!
Wonder how true but will give it a try though!! ;p

 

[volf20]

Karen/mint/Joanne/busybee- can I join u for tea w Vicky tmr?

 

[kare2711]

Ruffles
of course! See you preggie! And first time we see each other.

 

[volf20]

Thanks Karen. Yeah looking forward to mtg u for 1st time. keke. Sounds like hot date.

 

[dimpletot]

Karen

no worries! Why don't we meet at raffles city for lunch next week and u can just pass to me?

 

[kare2711]

dimple
Sure sure!!

mint/joanne/busy bee
So where exactly are we meeting ah? I may not have so much time to check online later. Dempsey parking is free, heh heh. Busy bee, if we're going to Dempsey, then I may bring my maid along. So if you are too, then they will have company.

 

[kare2711]

chinese flashcards
mummies, where can I find chinese flashcards? Anyone knows? I saw it at a friend's house and I want to get it for Jo. Think she should be able to absorb some of the words now. Will also ask my friend but she's busy and slow to respond.

 

[annetan84]

karen,
i thought we are meeting at forum later?

 

[kare2711]

joanne
is it confirmed? I will be late in that case, since I can't make it at 2.30.

 

[annetan84]

karen,
not so sure, but i think busy bee said it might be easier to meet at forum.
