Where got time to cook ('_')?

With a 2 year old and a 3 month old fighting for attention -- and no household helper, no drop-in babysitter -- how to cook...or do anything else?

You might shake your head and go 'tsk tsk' if I tell you how I do it -- I cook more when I prepare dinner and reserve a portion for lunch. Don't tell me 'it's not good to keep overnight' or 'always better to eat fresh'. Spending time playing 'masak masak' is an idea too luxurious for a mom with 2 babes to tend to, laundry, cleaning, etc. among other household chores. :p

Get a maid? Won't even think of that if it means risking my family's safety; especially my children's. Sure, we've had good helpers before I was married to the family and some of my friends have had excellent helpers for years too. But each time we get a new maid, we're bringing a new stranger into the house; whether this new stranger turns out to be a good helper, a 'headache' or a danger depends on individual's luck.

I choose not to risk. :p I'd rather survive with the mess and just do what I can.

My WMF Pressure Cooker

More new 'toys' for us -- our latest investment in the kitchen too. ;p We need things done QUICK before our two princesses take turns to cry for attention again!



A simple lunch of brown rice and lotus with prime rib soup in less than 40 min -- Faith could even eat the soft part of the bones now because it's so jelly-soft! Ha! :D Now I know where to get my much needed 'supplement' of glucosamine and collagen. ;p



Pressure cooked brown rice -- perfect! ;q' Taste the goodness of every grain -- neither too dry and hard, nor mashy -- better than what we used to have from a rice cooker. :) My dear husband changed his mind about the quality of this new source of brown rice he's been complaining about after the first mouthful, haha!
