Summer Corns

just showing off Dani's craft

My kids love steamed corns with butter and salt....
We eat steamed corns all the times
If they are not in season,
I just buy the frozen corns,
microwave them until done, then mix with some butter and salt
Tim usually squeals in delight to see a bowl of the buttery sweetness 

During summer, of course, I will buy fresh corns
They taste very sweet,
thanks to the smart people who genetically modified them

Although the kids eat homemade corn fritters
they love steamed creamed corn better
Hahaha, less work for me

KIDS MEAL

Not the ones at fast food chains
I got the inspiration when eating in a cafetaria style Japanese restaurant
Their kids meals are : udon/ ramen noodle, onigiri/ fried rice, juice, fruit, snack, and a cheapo toy

Tim and Sophie love it. While Daniel orders adult menu now
So, at home, we created kids meal without the cheapo toys
( since we have tons of them already )

breakfast : cinnamon brown sugar bread, orange juice, fruit with yogurt sauce

rice,cucumber slices, tofu omelet, boiled egg, corn salad, beef and boiled egg rouladen

 

 

baked chicken from Boston Market, wheat bread, lettuce, blueberries, chocolate

 

MORNING REARRANGING

Today I had a dentist appointment for pulling a tooth
Feeling nervous, I started to do something to keep
my mind out of it...
So, I rearranged the furniture in my living / formal dining

Because my family did not have any use for a formal dining room
I decided to make it a study for my kids

Anybody interested in this little dining set ? Let me know.
It's free, otherwise I'll just donate it

one table and four chairs ( one's away in the kitchen )

Then I went to the dentist
The pulling procedure went okay
Not as bad as I thought

MORNING ORGANIZING

The kitchen pantry was a hot mess.
So, today, I organized it,
a chore that was way overdue

Found a jar of chocolates from last year ( yipee )

a bag of bread from didn't know when
( not even dare to open it )
some dead ants
a bag full of expired medicines

Started the top shelf around 8 am
Things got delayed since I needed to run some errands with Sophie
Finally the whole shelves were done around 3.30
Huurahhh...

MORNING BAKING

Since Sophie finished her Young 5 program,
I don't have to rush in the morning.
Yipee ! Today, I did a morning baking.
Tomorrow, I don't know...
Maybe a morning exercise or quick writing ?
Or just taking my time in the shower ?
Hmmm....

apple muffin with dark chocolate sprinkles

brownie ( from the mix )

Pear Trees and the Gang

Our ornamental pear trees start blooming

No tulips though... Several years ago, hubby planted some tulips bulbs..
They've popped up for about three springs, then..no more
Rabbits ? Chipmunk ?

The Chandra's little bloom !
