Hi Amelia,
I will get the dried herbs from NTUC or Cold Storage...
There's once I cannot find Italian herbs at the last minute, so I bought all the 5 herbs separately and add them to my spaghetti...
I am not very good in herbs yet, but when I need the herbs I will read the recommendations, then add whichever that smell nice to me that will go with the dish I am cooking... Rosemary is nice with roast chicken and lamb...
I tried different kinds of dried herbs in stir fry vege.. not nice.. kekeke... but I still finish them
Only celery in stir fry vege is nice. I like to use celery and the leaves to stir fry vege and spaghetti...
The fresh herbs come in package... Cold storage do have fresh oregano.
Choc06,
Worchester sauce also goes well with pork... My mum use it for her own invention - "coffee pai kut"... but I havent got the chance to learn from her how to cook that.. I only eat

Littlecat,
read ur posting abt sahm few days ago, but only got strength to login today!
personally, i find it fulfilling to be a sahm. it's a great joy to be there to guide my son in his behavior and character building. but hor... sahm is a very lonely job. really a full time job. no rest day one. unless u have parents or pil to help once in a while. i took almost a year before i got more adjusted to life at home. till now, still coping with the loneliness especially my hb works late almost everyday. so i face my boy and the hse from 8+ morning till 9+pm. very few sahm ard my area, mostly grandparents, so difficult to start a mothers' group too.
CHoc06,

sp,
My hb also likes beef !!Let the COW do the talking if you want a stone on your finger!! hyak hyak...
This casserole must use a corning ware.
Must fry beef in frying pan with onions first and garlic, then stir in 1 tbs plain flour, add 1 and 1/2 cups brown ale( i use coke, here says stout also can), 1 tbs tomato paste and brown sugar , stir until sauce thickens.
Return the beef to casserole and add bouquet garni( A mixture of herbs, which I didn't put), season the beef with salt abnd pepper. Covered and bake for 1 and half hrs..
Serve with mashed potatoes. This is a flemish dish originated in belgium and the characteristic flavour and colour comes from the ale.
the beef stew is not so lei che.. goes well with rice. My family loves it..
Quite diff to choose beef, cold storage got ready packed ones.. the beef seller in the market can tell you which part of cow to cook for what dish.. Heard that tekka market got nice fresh beef.. i norm just go to the malay stall to buy.. I dunno how to choose mutton and am scared of the smell..
cat, my friend told me about 25%,if not wrong,
we were commenting that it's not so fair...
Worchester sauce with pork, yah.. sounds good too, must add coffee powder ?
Another tip : a bit of coffee powder/coffee drink brings out the flavour of chocolate.. my ang moh friend made choc fudge and added some.. nice..

Hey, home, be encouraged.. it's really a great joy to guide and to see how your child grow each day..
we also don't like the idea of live-in maid intruding our privacy..
I turned SAHM 6 yrs ago, and i know, it's never easy..with housework piling every day.. it's a 24/7 job with the 4 walls to talk to only. I pray for strength to go through day by day n take it 1 day at a time.. when my hb travels, i am alone and sometimes going gila liao.. face turn yellow liao.. haha..
Think there are quite a few sahm here, perhaps they can also share..
Can use other sauce for beef, but worchester sauce is tangy and nice, goes well with sheperd's pie, spaghetti sauce..

Thanks Home !
I really feel that those quality time spend with kids is really can't be measured by $$..
yeah i know what u mean, no MC, no leave...
eh should we take this opportunity to find out who stay where and hopefully can form a group? also since we have so many things in common !
name,location,job/sahm,kids,remarks
Little_cat,Jurong East,fulltime working mom, 1 son (4 yrs), Luv cockles & other seafood currently PG must watch my diet.
*remarks : u can put anything u like. eg like to eat cockles
Choc06
yes it is not fair, somemore we sacrified our job, and become single income, why less subsidy ??
doesn't make sense leh ...
then now they keep asking us to have more kids, but if the kids come out all spoilted by grandparents or 'educated' by maid one, does it mean they are after the quantity and not quality?
i thot quality is more important than quantity?

Choc,
Ok I've seen Masterfoods near the McCormick rack.Rather exp for the quantity
hopefully the fresh ones are cheaper.
Clover Lee,
Yes, I think ntuc carries herbs under McCormick.Forgot all about it becos i am so used to buying them in bigger packets.
I haven't thought of nurseries, thanks!I will check out the one near my home.
You cook the apple sauce in wine over low heat before adding to the pork.
I am 100% local lah haha...but lived abroad for a few years.
Lyn,
I did a lot of experimenting too b4 finding out what works.Wahh I love herbs in my spaghetti too!!
You vegetarian right?You can try cilantro with veggie mee goreng, it gives more dimension.Fry the cilantro with your onions, garlic etc b4 adding your veggies and noodles.
Don't think herbs in huge quantities go well with our chinese stir-fry veg.Just a little is fine.

Hi Home,
Nice to meet you here.. the other thread seems quiet now.
I am still cooking special food for my son and feed him first before we dine out. However, when we eat he will join us so will give him abit to satisfy his curiosity at the same time train him to self feed.
Hi Littlecat,
How about age and profession?

You know, I bought a kg of cockles last night at cold storage, heehee.. going to fry with tau cheong and chilli padi today.. heehee..
Eh cat, my fried bee hoon always clump together, soak for 20 mins, also like that,how huh ?
Amelia, fresh ones will mati very fast.. unless you use the herbs everytime you cook, the dried ones should be able to last for quite a while. If you have friends going to perth, their is one sjop in chinatown there that sells herbs in bulk, very cheap too.
annelise, I'll join you in tamp soon..

Good morning gals!
HI Littlecat,
I bought the DVD for "I not stupid I". Now waiting for the second DVD
I think I will watch it again and again to remind myself.
Hi Home,
How long have you been a SAHM? Do you have to cook daily? I have been staying at home without kids for a year already
. I find myself quite busy with lots to do... hee... Spent most of the time on the web and chat... And also housework, my work, shopping with mum or people like me, chat on the phone, etc. Time flies and my baby is coming out real soon...
I wish I have more time... I dun find it boring staying at home...
Choc06, sp,
My hubby also loves beef! I just got a book on health last nite. I browsed through the section in fertility... It states that men should eat less red meat cos it will putrefy in the colon... lol...
Beef and lamb with mashed potatoes is very nice
. Anyone know how to make mashed potatoes?
Hi Amelia,
I usually buy the dried ones. They are not cheap. Sometimes my hubby will go "you already have so many bottles of herbs". kekeke... The fresh ones are also not cheap to me and I cannot finish using them at one go, so I will usually go for the dried ones.
Do you finish up your "experiments"? kekeke... everytime I gotta finish them up on my own on the first try... I am not a full vegetarian. I am trying to change my diet for health. I am trying to find out how to cook nice vegetables dishes so that my hubby will want to come home and eat... kekeke...
What sauce do you use for mee goreng? Is it the indian style mee goreng that you are refering to?
hahaha... I tried different kinds of herbs with stir fry veggies... All taste awful so far... but I gotta finish them.. lol... I used to use a lot of oyster sauce, but it's not healthy so I am experimenting with herbs now. Got any other suggestions to make veggies more tasty?
Do you gals think that "nice food" is an acquired taste?

Chwee kuey recipe
2 cups rice flour
tapioca flour/cornflour 1 tsp
salt 1 tsp
sugar 1 tsp
boiling water 4 cups
cold tap water 2 cups
1. Mix the rice flour, salt, sugar and tapioca flour together with the tap water, then add in the boiled water . Mix well
2 Pour mixture into frying pan or wok to cook it, stirring it until almost hard and lumpy( but not burnt)
3 Pour consistency into a metal tray to steam over high flame for half an hour to 45 mins.. Sometimes, I steam it for 1 hr.. Cool it for few hours until it "sets"
4. Cut into pieces.
Chaipoh : Fry the chaipoh with lots of minced garlic , sugar and pepper until fragrant.. More oil will taste better, but I usually cut down on the oil.. As chaipoh is salty, depends on where you get it, add the sugar until it's not so salty.
Serve your chwee kuey with the chaipoh..
( Add or reduce water the next time if you find kuey too hard or soft)
Mashed potatoes:
Peel skin of potatoes, boil and pour away water.
Add milk , a little salt , butter and mash
Use a hand mixer to whip it until soft and creamy.
(norm, I lazy to use handmixer, so just mash and mash and add milk)
Any other variations ?

Cooked Green Radish soup with Carrot,Pork ribs,chinese almonds,honey dates and red dates last nite.
As my hb has flu and cough, it's supposed to be good for his cough,especially with the chinese almonds Nan Xing (sweet) and Bei Xing(bitter).
During cooking, green radish and white radish always give out a smell.My girl keep saying it smelled so awful...
But when the soup is given to her at night, she said it's very nice,don't have awful smell, and took 2 big bowls!

sorry busy posting and getting the table right
choc06, first dun soak the bee hoon too long, once it is soft u can remove from the water.
Also when cooking bee hoon, u need slightly more oil & water, if not it will too dried and clump together too.
So it is good idea to cook with taugeh or other vege that has some water when u cook.
here's how i cook normally.
first fried the ingredient first, like the garlic/onion with fish cake, prawns, etc. Then remove from wok put a side.
Then fry the bee hoon.
While stir fry the bee hoon, i will put some oil,soya souce,dark soya sauce, oyster sauce mixed with water in a bowl, (will also give u a even colour on your fried bee hoon) and pour in bit by bit when u see it become dry, to give it more moisture and also cook the bee hoon thoroughly, cos we didn't soak too long it will take abit more time to cook till soft.
Add the vege (bean spout/chye xin) in between, so at the same time u have some water from the vege.

While stir fry the bee hoon, i will put some oil,soya souce,dark soya sauce, oyster sauce mixed with water in a bowl, (will also give u a even colour on your fried bee hoon) and pour in bit by bit when u see it become dry, to give it more moisture and also cook the bee hoon thoroughly, cos we didn't soak too long it will take abit more time to cook till soft.
Add the vege (bean spout/chye xin) in between, so at the same time u have some water from the vege.

Yo van, thanks for the green and orange carrots soup,din know can put nan xing bei xing . Will try it, think good for the bladder ..
heard from my mil that dongfang billy says cannot mix white radish with orange carrots is it? He says will have no more nutrition .. you all heard of it?
Huai shan (the fresh one from the market) can cook with pork ribs, red dates, wolfberries and peanuts..
Good to bu qi..
Thanks for the tips on beehoon, will try it again.. Normally I han tum all the liao then put beehoon in last..
When we were overseas, a sing friend taught me..craved for chwee kuey.. this recipe not the best, but "no fish, shrimp also good", hehe
sp, I use whatever potatoes I can find. My ang moh friend uses a hand mixer, true enough hers turned out smoother and creamier

Choc06,
Never heard of cannot mix white radish with orange carrots, will do more "Research" then share with you.
But for the green carrot and red carrot soup, don't put too much Bei Xing, or it will turn out bitter.
Usually for about 1.5l of water, I only add 1 tbs Nan Xing and half tbs or slightly less Bei Xing.
LittleCat,
When I was a young kid, I was already eating the hand-made mee-hun-kuey that my aunt made.Long before this became popular in every kopitiam and food court.
I think most Hokkiens have their versions of mee-hun-kuey soup, and fried mee-hun-kuey,sweet and savoury versions.
BTW, I am Hokkien.

Lyn,
This is the mee goreng I made about 3 years bk.I got my recipe from kuali.com and did some modification cos' i didn't have access to lots of asian seasonings.You can do a search for Indian Mee Goreng by Amy Beh in Kuali for the authentic recipe.The green stuff u see in it is cilantro.

Yes.Love Ikea's chicken wings and meat balls
Eh Amelia, how to cook your mee goreng ? Is it from kuali.com ?
sp, where the chicken wing from khatib? You know sing food more than I do.. The vinegar pig trotters is at butterly taman or kang le taman, behind shell station ? Direction given by my FIL, beats me, I think KL got only one shell station !haha
Little cat, the hokkien mee in yishun is the ordinary kind.. not thick one..
My hokkien mee version(anyhow huntum):
Make the ikan bilis stock , boil prawns, sotong.
Take out sotong and prawns .
Peel the prawn shells, then continue to boil the shell with the ikan bilis.
Fry garlic, pork strips, then add fish sauce,
Add thick bee hoon with yellow noodles,
then add sotong and prawns..
Pepper to taste. Add a beaten egg to noodles.. add more stock if you want it wet.. (the trick is in the fish sauce)
You all got other styles ?
van, whats Mani veg ?
