一直都想試煮焗豬扒,平日都只是煎豬扒,但總覺得欠了甚麼似的,昨天終於決心一試,順便測試一下新的pan,果然物有所值.第一次焗豬扒,焗的度數和時間都只是估估下,幸好又成功,老公很喜歡呢!

berry berry turnovers brownies
最近常常很想吃甜品,試過致電老公要他在回家時買蛋糕給我,真的非常奇怪.為免每天都要等老公買才可以吃,所以決定自己整,健康又經濟. 星期一首先試整了berry berry turnovers,我負責洗切材料,老公就負責餘下的所有步驟.由於只有8件,兩天就被我們全部吃掉(真恐佈吃了這麼多).
昨天已沒有甜品吃,所以又要整過.今次終於有時間整brownie,奶奶給了我食譜(上次她整的好好味,所以我想自己試下).這種brownie有合桃和朱古力粒,真係無改錯名,叫做outrageous brownies,奶奶又給了它一個花名叫brownies explosion.

大收穫=重傷出血
上個星期去買父親節禮物,出發前老公取笑我要記著今日是買禮物給父親們,並不是ling ling購物日,不要去看手袋和女裝.下車時我一副得意模樣的說,我不會進入賣女裝的店舖.在買完兩位父親的禮物後(老公的一早訂了,所以不用去買),老公見我木無表情,問我是否太悶(真係睇穿晒我…知我去行街唔買都要睇下的小毛病).我矢口否認嚷著要回家,說要買的都買完我不會看其他東西.心想今次一定要成功,唔可以次次都被他說中,明明說逛逛卻變成買買買.結果他還是拉我到最近的新歡逛一圈,指這看那的問我喜不喜歡,又找了合身的著我去試身….(我明明走過了門口卻被他拉住,今次是他逼我買東西的,哼!)其實上次已經買了很多,但他說我上次買不夠,可以多買幾條裙子,牛仔褲和衫,又叫我買一直在考慮的圍巾.結果,試身成功意即銀包出血.上車後,他又取笑我買了很多東西,遠多於買給爸爸的.我相信在夏季完結前,我也不用再買任何東西.(我是這樣告訴自己的)
昨天老公在公司致電回家,告訴我收到BE的預訂通知,最新產品有我喜歡的粉藍色在其中,全套都有防曬還包括了兩支掃.他覺得很襯我,相信我會很喜歡,但為免估錯都是先問問我的意見.愛上BE的我當然不容錯過,難得他竟然會在我上個月買了幾套化妝和護膚品後,還主動告訴我新貨預訂,一番好意怎能推卻.最新系列全部都加上防曬,扮靚又少一個步驟,化妝同時護膚的BE,真的令我著迷.用了短短一個月,皮膚己經得到改善.老公說別再試其他牌子,難得找到喜歡又適合的,但我想慳dd呀.BE的night time treatment是我的最愛,亦是最貴的產品…但真係唔想用咁多錢….再咁縱我銀包會流血不止.
dinners in the last few weeks
Eric loves grilling lately, here are some of his favorite.
Our homemade grilled mini burger — not really mini after all
My first time making deep fried pork chop and served with tomato pasta
Steak with homemade gravy and garlic Shanghai bok choi
maine lobster is so good
After feeding the baby, Eric and I went for lunch and did the shopping for the week. I got the recipe from mom and hopefully can find some time next week to make the brownie. While I picking out the vegetables, Eric saw some live lobsters and asked if I would like some. I wasn't really planning on a fancy dinner but I would never turn one down. There was an expert to help customers pick the lobster. We were just looking at first but ended up with 2. He was so nice and taught us how to cook it.We finished up our shopping quickly and went straight home.
As soon as we got home, we started to cook the lobsters. It didn't take long and we decided to steam some aspargus to go with it. Oh God, they are ridiculously delicious. They were just the perfect size about 1 lb each and it filled my stomach all the way. Very satisfied.

So big and tasty, yummy yummy
囡囡第一餐
今天囡囡四個月大了,可以開始嘗試吃東西.第一餐是米糊,她吃得佷開心,也較想像中乾淨,口水肩只是濕了少許.她將會連續一星期吃米糊,肯定沒有敏感之後,下星期就可以開始試燕麥,然後是水果和蔬菜.
昨天帶她見醫生打第二組預防針,上磅前我們估計她會有14-16磅,看上來肥嘟嘟的她只有13磅,但身高卻有24.5吋,較其他嬰兒高少少.醫生替她檢查前,她還笑得甜甜,誰知醫生一開始檢查就哭啼不停,醫生嘗試抱起她來安慰,但可惜並不成功,由媽媽抱起她後就立即止住了哭聲.醫生笑說這不是很神奇嗎?嬰兒可以在幾秒內由放聲大哭到笑容滿臉.
半夜轉身
昨晚整晚也沒有為囡囡換片,她完全沒有投訴,原來片片只濕了很少(雖然即使是很多她也不會投訴).今早去看她的時候,她竟然肚仔向下的睡著,還睡得很甜呢!哈哈,傻女終於第五次自己轉身成功,但這是第一次半夜轉身.她醒的時候很開心,對著爸爸不斷笑,還很雀躍地手舞足蹈學爬行.然後她依依哦哦地告訴我們,她不知道自己何時轉身,但很開心.(這是媽媽跟據囡囡表情和笑容所作的估計)
好充實的一天
今天一早起床,囡囡睡醒見到我就笑不停,玩了差不多半小時才想吃"早餐".她吃飽飽後,我就開始新的計劃,每天要最少找半小時清潔家居,結果昨天一做就是兩個小時.早上在BB房吸塵換床舖,然後開始洗第一機衫,一共洗了三機,點解有咁多衫???做完家務,Alexis已經自己玩到悶,嚷著要媽媽陪她玩,於是要停低陪她玩,不久後又是開餐時間,她吃完午餐就午睡去了.
難得她今天心情好像特別好,有機會午睡長時間一點.老公昨晚說想吃燕麥曲奇(我想焗好幾日了,但沒時間…),於是她一開始午睡,我就趕緊焗曲奇去.不知為何,今天由預備到焗好連清潔都只是用了45分鐘,然後我還有時間褶衫和放回衣帽間,簡直難以置信.當我做好所有要做和幸好有時間做的家務後,已經是4時半,老公差不多下班回家,於是我大膽地開始準備晚餐(祈求囡囡會睡多一會),在我差不多完成切材料後,她開始發出聲音,這是要醒的先兆.幸好,在這個時候老公己回到家中,他當然自動請纓去照顧女兒,我就有時間可以完成晚餐.在他回家的廿分鐘後,我們便可以吃了.這是非常有效率的一天.
My little sweet heart
Alexis gave me a few surprises in the last week. First, she slept through the night since last Friday (for 8 hours, thanks God). She even slept for 9 hours the night before. As I read the information from the Pediatrician, breastfed baby may only sleep for 4-7 hours until 6 months old. I already prepared to wake up every 4 hours until her 1 year old birthday (if I am lucky to have 4 hours every night). Still can't believe she really slept through the night. Anyway, I still wake up every 4 hours to check on her and change her diaper. I keep reminding myself and know for fact that is normal for her need to eat in the middle of the night once a while, but I am crossing my finger that won't happen too often, none will be even better.
Secondly, she rolled over and rolled back up from her tummy all in one day within like 15 minutes. I was so excited when I saw it yesterday. I wasn't expected it at all and couldn't believe what I just saw. Eric called from work and I told him what just happened. He came home and Alexis did him a favor to rolled back up from tummy, but she refused to show off the roll-over skill. haha.
Thirdly, after her almost 9 hours sleep last night, she found her toes and touched it twice this morning while I changed her diaper. This is two days in a row she gave me surprises when I was not expected.
It is so amazing a little baby grow so fast and bring so much joy that you can't even describe it. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful family and able to be a full time housewife and mother. I can't imagine if I miss any of these moments I experienced and look forward to having some more.
