So kid #2 is finally back from her school trip to the UK. She had a whale of a time although I suspect the teachers did not because we chatted with one of her teachers at the airport who said that she was getting too old for this kind of overseas school trip! In keeping … More Double Egg Dip
People can be so annoying. I was in the condo lift last night and this young brash expat-type (non-local) Millennial was having difficulties figuring out the lift system. The building has private lifts that you can access the floor only if you have intercommed the home owner. He was griping that “Singapore is such a … More Beef Noodle Soup
I love markets. I recently earned a dirty look from kid#2 – she is going on a school trip to the UK and one of the stops is Borough Market…and I asked her if she would buy me mushrooms and cheese from there 😂. Every time I travel I will usually visit a local market … More Whitebait Fritters
I love cooking for friends. When we first moved into my apartment, we had commissioned our carpenter to make an extra long table that could sit 10 people (or 12 at a pinch). Our earstwhile carpenter gamely took on the job, but discovered that because the table was extra long, it could not fit … More Roasted Whole Cauliflower
I discovered that my bunny likes kale. Yes of course being a rabbit, he would love vegetables, but we have discovered that not every vegetable is suitable for rabbits. Take the day I decided to share cauliflower stems with him. I use cauliflower a lot in cooking – it is a great substitute for mashed … More Sausage and Kale Soup
I love pottering around the house. Perhaps all the more because work is busy and I’ve been traveling a lot and I haven’t been cooking for the past couple of weeks. This is the only weekend in April that I am actually in the country. It was embarrassingly wonderful cooking in pajamas, and intermittently … More Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
My kids adore Japanese food. When they were little, Yoshinoya beef bowls were the easiest way to make sure they had their lunch during our outings after church on Sundays. Of course their palates have since matured and Japanese fare now ranges to kaiseki meals, but once in a while we will return to … More Low Carb Beef Bowl
It’s Good Friday. This month has been a precious time of discovery that God speaks louder than words and that love is more than an emotion. Today was a day for deep gratitude – and no less for the journey that I have been on for the past few months to step out of my … More Low Carb Cheese Crackers
The busier one is, the more fragmented one feels. I don’t quite understand this season and why there is just so much on my plate. But despite the busyness there are wow moments. Last week Singapore got a pretty good view of a partial solar eclipse. It was in the morning with crystal clear skies. … More Quick Seafood Pasta
Every cloud has a silver lining. When one door closes, another one opens. These are aphorisms and are usually quoted to jog a depressed person into a semblance of cheer. I detest aphorisms, mainly because they are quoted by people who want to bring a patch on your situation without really trying to understand … More Low Carb Olive Leaves Fried “Rice”
