Cauliflower and Broccoli with Cheese

Another recipe from Healthy Baby Meal Planner : How to give you baby the best of health and vitality by Sara Lewis.

This dish is for babies aged between nine to twelve months.

Ingrediates - makes 600ml/1 pint
175g/6oz broccoli
175g/6oz cauliflower
175g/6oz potato
300ml/half pint formula milk
75g/3oz Cheddar or mild cheese

I try out this dish because there are still leftover Edam cheese from the previous recipes - Tagliatelle/Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli and Ham.

This recipe is very easy to prepare. I just dump in all the ingredients except the cheese into the pot and simmer until all of them are soft. Then, I mash it and add in the cheese. I stirred it until the cheese is well blended with the vegetables.

Ezel likes it as it is a new flavour to her.

Meeting with Kai Ma

I off from work early today as I made an appointment to meet Jedi, my best friend and also Ezel's Kai Ma for dinner. We agreed to meet up in 1 Utama Shopping Centre since my office is just next to it.

It took us some times to meet each other up as Jedi and her boyfriend is not familiar with 1 Utama area. Finally we meet up in front of Home Fix. Ezel as usual, is very happy whenever she sees other people other than me and Ken. I handled over Ezel to Jedi to carry.

Then, we went to Vietnam Kitchen after discussing where to have our dinner. During the dinner, we exchanged some news. Jedi keeps saying that Ezel is very active and likes to smile. Yes, she is and Ken always complaint that it is hard to take care of her.

We stayed about one and a half hours before knocking off as tomorrow is a working day. Jedi handle over some clothes and an ang pau for her Kai Lui's birthday.

Hari Raya Open House @ Manager's House

My manager, Rizal Ibrahim invited us to his house for Hari Raya open house.

My colleague, Shanti drives us there as we are car pooling. We bought him some hampers and gifts as a return favour to his good deeds by inviting us.

My manager live nearby our office, Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI). His house is a semi-D and it is comfortable and cozy. I like it very much but it is too costly for me to own it.

There are a lots of kuih-muih and we ate as starter before moving to the dining table. He serves us very simple yet delicious local dishes and guess what! It is his own cook. Here are the list of dishes :
a) lemang
b) beef rendang
c) vegetable curry
d) ketupat
e) boiled eggs
f) sambal
g) shreaded chicken meat
f) sirap
g) kek lapis

Ezel's Wardrobe

Out of no way, suddenly I decided to have a collection of Ezel's wardrobe.

She is so tiny and small and some of her clothes that range from 0 to 3 months still fits her even when she is actually 8 months olds. But it is getting lesser now.

However, she still fits most of the clothing that range from 0 to 6 months even she is now almost 12 months! It is because of the designer's cutting or my Ezel is tiny and small?

As she is so cute and lovely and friendly, some of my friends bought her clothes too. Surprisingly, my mother's friends also bought her clothes! Not to mention Ezel own Po Po and Tai Tai Kung and her Kai Ma, Jedi. There are some clothes in her wardrobe that are given by my aunties, leftover from her daughter.

Nevertheless, here are the collection of her wardrobe and keeps coming back as her wardrobe might be change or added with more..........
