Pancakes & Steak

Wraps up my Sunday. It's all about FOOD, FOOD and FOOD. 

We started our day with blueberry pancakes in the morning. Even the little guy got a little piece all to himself. He loves his blueberries pancakes. 

When the little guy napped, I took a nap too. It is great to get these morning naps lately. I keep getting these 2 hours nap to recover from waking up in the middle of the night because of his crying. I suspect he is teething again. I saw a pre-molar at the back of his gum while playing with him today. I couldn't really make out which pre-molar but it definitely wasn't a canine. Is that normal? I thought these pearlies grow in sequence. No? I was tempted to stick my finger into his mouth to find out but after he bit me a few times, I decided not. This guy can break my finger with his teeth and jaw power. Anyway, look at him here. Awww...The Thinker.

We bought a pack of frozen lamb racks for Scarlett yesterday. They have been nicely thawed so I cut them and marinated them this afternoon. My girlfriend once suggested that I add recipe to my blog and I think it's a good idea. Ok, look, I am not a chef, I am just a home cook. So if you are interested, you can give my recipe a try. If not, that's ok too. For these lamb racks, I marinate them with mustard, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce and fresh rosemary herbs from our balcony. That was it. Most people who tried it said they are yummy. So....give it a try!!!

The kids got creative since they are stuck at home. Well, more like Scarlett got creative. She built a makeshift playroom for Chester with plastic balls again and played with him. It is only when she spends time with him, I get some time to prepare food in the kitchen. This little guy likes to come into the kitchen and clings on to me like koala if nobody is giving him any attention or keeping him busy.

Dinner for Chester tonight was giant garoupa cooked in olive oil, butter, garlic and spinach, then stir fry together with pre-boiled potatoes, red peppers, with a dash of light cream and some water. Tasty even for an adult I must say.

Then my amazing husband cooked this awesome dinner for us (Scarlett's salmon steak not pictured here). You need to know, I have to really work hard to stay the way I am. It's so easy to get big when I wash down this dinner with Coke most of the time. All the time.

The weather today was erratic. It poured and stopped, poured and stopped constantly. Other than me bringing Chester down in the afternoon for a stroll baby wearing him (I managed to get back home in time to avoid the heavy madness rain), we all pretty much stayed home the whole day slacking and watching TV. Home, you are too comfortable sometimes to leave. Did we miss out anything out there? Afraid not.
