oh yah, remember to remove the skin and seeds of the tomatoes when cooking.
Just dump in hot boiling water, remove and put in cold water, then the skin will glide off easily.

Wah we have a lot of chefs in July thread...
Lamagier, no no, MR knows mommy is making money to spend on HER, not bad mommy. So anyway, this Sunday is Mothers' Day, how are you guys celebrating? We are bringing our moms and dads to Ah Yat for lunch...
We had some friends over for dinner last night and there were six kids in total (can you imagine the noise?) and I think my son got so excited he kept waking up last night so I slept terribly

re: posters
where could I get those nice posters on numbers, alphabets, fruits, animals, vege, etc? I suddenly realise Stacia's rm got nothing at all! Any particular topic sequence that we should start on babies first?
re: book-shelf
after buying so many books, I also realise dunno where to put it!
Me & hb not a "reader" but I don't want Stacia to follow us hehe
. I believe that environment create & affect oneself so I try to let Stacia loves reading & learning in an active way. Now, any recommendation on where to get good one (space-savvy type)? Open-shelf better or those cupboard-like?

Linsu -
If you don't have so many books yet, just get a big plastic container and put the books inside it so that Stacia can help herself. I have been reading to my boy since 3mths and he recognises some of his books now. If I say a familiar sentence, he will crawl over to the book box and pull out the right one (provided it's not at the bottom, haha). Maybe later then upgrade to cupboard or shelf.

RE: mothers' day
Am spending it more or less alone, sob, since hubby is away on a work trip. Probably will go over to my mother's place, and we can spend it together, hahaha...
Actually I am not the sentimental kind, if my hubby gives me flowers I will scold him, I'd rather he give me angpao. Ha!

I already have many wall charts from Growing Fun (e.g. calendar, body's internal organs, Numbers, etc) and recently, I went to Kallang Leisure Park and saw Mandarin posters for only $2 and bought 5 (e.g. San Zi Jing, Famous Landmarks around the World, Flags of various countries, Map of China with various cities printed, Rua ko lin aka tongue twisters). I put them on every door I have and all the avail wall space in the kids' room.
As for bookshelf, I also recently bought a new one from V.Hive at Katong Mall (moving out sale), open shelf type and arrange them in such a way that board books are below so easy access to #2, English books in one section, Mandarin books in another, activity books in yet another and reference books on the top shelf.
Kiasu or not?
Pinky
It sounds like you know how to pamper yourself, maybe I should follow your footsteps! A 1.5 hrs massage sounds pretty heavenly, don't you reckon?
Meiyun
My older one is a girl (turns 4 in Sep) and my younger (and last) one is a boy (June 2009 baby).
Happy Mothers' Day, everyone!

Linsu,I got the open book shelves from giant.
Only$21...3 tiers one.open shelves better,so they can see and choose themselves.
Also it become the climbing aids...hehe...its about 60cm wide n 90cm high,
So when standing she can reach the top shelves.
But must keep an eye when they reach 1yr plus,nigel use it as ladder to go up to his bed...he thought that going up to his bed the normal way is not changelenging enough.
As for the poster, the shop at b1 forum having clearance sale.
FOZ, their activity books are fantastic and all on 40 sale.
You may want to buy for Al.

Oh ya,I think if put the books in the plastic container,cannot keep in tip top condition.the corners tend to curl etc...
I even put platic cover on the books.also its difficult to dig the book that they want.
Meiyun,

hbb - I LOLed(Literally) when I read what your dh said and when I told my dh, he also laughed aloud.
lamagier - I think you are a great mummy esp with all the photos you take of her - they are great memories - unlike me quite hopeless with that!
And MR is looked after by people who love her, so that's OK.
Happy Mother's Day to all!
I'm going to have a belated Mother's Day "celebration" and am thinking of a staycation. Anyone stayed at Sentosa Resort and Spa recently? I'm hesitating between something in Sentosa or maybe St Regis, but I don't want to spend too much money as we'll most prob be travelling twice in the next 2 months! :-(
ETirto - Sprinkle more dust on me! Am so stressed how to get preggers...am seriously thinking of the strips/kit you suggested...
Linsu - I bought some of my posters from those neighbourhood stationery shops. And bb's room has shelves - we are very pro bookshelves (my whole study is filled with books! LOL!) BUT BUT it can collect dust in the long run so must think about that.

Meiyun, welcome to July mums.
Mashy, I just checked with BabyHypermart today, dropped in on my way home. The salesguy showed me the pegperego bag when my eyebrow twitched after he told me that the maclaren bag cos $120+. It's really ridiculous, the Maclaren carry bag is like USD$50 on amazon. On sight, I can see the bag can't fit the XT, cos even the Maclaren bag has review of not being able to fit the techno model (he tried to force a XT on display into the pp bag). BTW he said the retail price of the pegperego bag was $79.90. Better call and get an answer on the bag when you are getting it.

chiyojade, hv u ever consider of going tcm (traditional chinese medicine)? there are quite a few tcm able to help woman who has conceive problem (sorry dont get me wrong here).
cos of some health issue, by right i was not supposed to get pregnant as 'instructed'. but after seeing this tcm in about 1.5months, i got pregnant. even my gynae was so shocked after learning the news. this tcm i seeing, even circle out dates when is a good time to 'try', instead of u trying & trying at wrong dates.
pm me if u need contact. i'm not able to share too much info here cos i hv stalker in this thread.

thanks hbb.. do u still use thermal flask if not going out? is it better to use thermal flask or refrigerate the remainders? cos i thought can keep in flask for only 5 hours then food starts to deteriorate. either way, i feel bit guilty for not making it 'fresh' the second time though. tell me its ok!
japa, i put 1/2 tablespoon to one pot for the day. can the chef mamas also advise if we can give millet everyday? thanks!

I think fruit like mango, pureed apple/pear/prunes, papaya etc are all fine to give with tofu. Depends on your baby's tastes. Mine won't eat the tofu on its own like that but enjoys it with fruit. It's a good way of using up leftover tofu, because I try not to keep it too long, even though I change water daily.
