But the trolley bag is good lor cos DH oso lazy to accompany me go market de... Juz now at market, I saw some Ah Mah used the shop n save trolley (the smaller 4 wheel version), damn, I shd join them, save $$$! Whahahaha! Juz Kidding...

sunshine,
Yup, like I told Mrs Ho yesterday, adding ginger and also dang shen to LRD is for confinement so I am not sure if too heaty on normal days especially if drinking everyday. But do check with your TCM.
Haha.. you sound so much like me! I also feel I am becoming more "auntie". I also use a trolley bag when I go marketing myself to pick up a few things coz most of the time hubby will go with me during the weekends. We enjoy grocery shopping together.
But we don't go fresh market. Only supermarket.
Yea.. I know abt the double boiling pot from Tanyu and was thinking of using it for birds nest. Going to pick it up this weekend coz waiting for GSS. But problem is I dun have a bigger Tanyu pot to put it in coz my other Tanyu pots are smaller and hubby refuses to buy another item coz I got too many gadgets in the house. So not sure if can put the Tanyu double boiling pot into a normal pot. Get what I mean?
紫砂锅 is also very good. I wanted to get that too but as I said, hubby says no more white elephant. Haha...

SJX,
I think I know which is the type you bought coz I also bought the semi dry ones. But I think its ok to leave it outside. No need to put in the fridge especially if you use everyday. If you are scared and the pack is quite big, then store some separately in a small airtight container and put in your office. Refill as needed.

Don't tempt me! I am very tempted as it is!!! But my kitchen really got no more space and much smaller than my previous one. As it is, my deep fryer, george foreman etc.. are all in the store room. No more space outside!
I also want bread machine but really cannot. I make bread manually now in the oven. Sigh... And I am eyeing a kitchen aid mixer so must save up. Haha...

Kithen Aid super nice right? I also love it but hubby refused to let me buy last time so have a kenwood. I definitely want to buy next time I am overseas! And then I can start making pasta! Super itchy fingers!
Haha... lynzi, join the club! I also want one! Red sounds super nice and shiny!

LOL... *wink* I know what u mean and I can imagine how yr DH respond when u want to buy another pot to dble boil it, haha!
Of cos the uncle who is selling his pots will say his pot is beta to dble boil lah, but i think if u got the smaller one (盅）can combine wif other pots to boil lah. Its the smaller one that locks in the stock.
Re:slow cooker, think its a good investment lei. Cos u still can use it later part to slow cook yr children's porridge or other mashy food. Psycho yr DH lah!!!
I find wet market supply is fresher n can buy in small quantity for a family of 2, ha! My DH oni go wif me when we go JB's or local supermarket to do grocery shopping, hmmm..
SJX
Can wear heels lah... As long u dun fall or do anything vigourous or carry heavy stuff can liao...</font>

<font color="000080">nb01 >> Haha I freeze all my food too! So much more convenient, esp fruits and veg Frozen stock more convenient also, but I freeze my leftovers when I cook on weekends... can't be bothered to cook specifically for freezing.
Actually hor, isn't blender more efficient than mixer? Unless you bake a lot.
SJX >> I bet I'm poorer than you! My hubby has been doing further studies and just graduated, so for the past year I've been sole breadwinner. Super siong. Life in SG is too expensive!</font>

Maybe implantation? Coz you have O-ed already?
sunshine
I also think just buy the smaller one can already. Else my hubby will really flip! The only other thing I like buying besides my bags are kitchen things! Haha... I am like a collector of any cute kitchen gadgets! Which reminds me... I need to order my oil spray and meat thermometers for my brother to bring back for me.
I already got a slow cooker which is why hubby doesn't allow me to get another. hahaha.. As I said, I just like to collect!
I know wet market is fresher but I just don't like the smell and I am used to supermarket shopping for so many years. And I also get organic food so I find supermarket and organic stores easier for me.
Well, psycho your hubby to do grocery shopping! Say it is bonding time! Hee..

after u O during the 2ww cannot take dang gui.
It promotes blood circulation so its only good from CD1 till O.
Those taking blood thinner meds also cannot take dang gui.
SJX,
oh dont be sad.
Im definitely not rich but i like to cook n bake so will buy all these toys when i got extra money.
If ask my hubby to buy then must justify to him by cooking or baking more often.</font>

lynzi,
I also love island kitchens!!! I wanted to get a place with an island kitchen but no $$$. I really need to strike toto. Hahaha...
That is why I have my Kenwood. All in one. Juicer, blender, mixer, etc.. And it is quite small too as it is a special mini size. Which is why my hubby told me to get it coz he said no space for KA. I still regret it coz although it is nice and small and serves its purpose, it is still not a KA!

<font color="aa00aa">Yes yes..go get slow cooker.
I got 2 at home..1 small one just for my boy's porridge when he was a bb n bigger one for the family.
Err..i got portable thermal cooker too to cook my boy's porridge on the go.
And pressure cooker..comes in real handy.
Electric steamer too..saves a lot of time than normal steaming..can use to steam fruits n vege to make purees for baby.
Aiyoh i better stop going on.
Hubby said im mad to need so many things.</font>

<font color="000080">peapea >> Depends on the type of veg... some need to blanch briefly for 3-5min in salt water then dump into cold water, some can just clean and freeze in air-tight container or bags.

tethysea,
High 5! I also freeze all my things but not veg and fruits. If I want frozen fruits, I buy them frozen. Haha...
As I said, my kenwood is all in one, so got blender, mixer everything. And I think all of them got different purpose. Coz if I make things like pineapple tarts, then I still need both coz blender to blend the pineapple puree and mixer to make the "crust".

紫砂锅 is a type of slow cooker. I go find out more info and let you know ok?
SJX,
Don't bake a lot nowadays as SG is too hot but I used to do a lot of baking. And ingredients in SG are so ex so sometimes I feel it is better to just buy outside. But hubby likes eating my home-made stuff so I do try and make now and then. But more "chilled" desserts that don't need to bake like tiramisu, mango pudding, cheesecake.

Hahaha... you are so cute! Where to get that? I also want!!!
Wah... you like making cakes? I haven't graduated to that yet. Still stuck with making cookies, cupcakes and brownies and only know how to make 1 type of chocolate cake. Haven't gone to making other "whole" cakes yet.
peapea,
Sorry to miss your post abt Le Crueset. Le Crueset is useful if you want to cook things in the oven, like beef stew, beef steaks etc.. I haven't found any use for it other than making my beef things. Haha..
Anyone else can advise?

SJX,
Sorry abt missing your question. I am re-reading the posts again. Too many posts after I posted abt KA. Haha...
Implantation can happen as early as 6 days after ovulation and can last till 12 days after ovulation. You said you are only 4DPO so maybe could be early implantation or you might have got O dates slightly off. Good luck!
