Maid is Here!

My replacement maid has finally arrived. Life has been more comfortable for me such that I have to do housework no more. I am also glad that she's quite ok with my boys so far. Hmmm... or perhaps it's still too early to assess her. But well, so far so good! =)

Greg has become a lot more independent since those days we went maidless. Not only could he feed himself independently ( no more spoonfeeding by anyone, he also started bathing on his own (with supervision of course) and keeping toys after he plays them. Ahem, so that was good training for Greg when we didn't have a maid. Lately, I have also noticed that he has become more artistic. For instance, he'd pick up a marker and start drawing on the balloons. No more stick figures for his drawing of man now. They have proper bodies now (See picture below)! Kekeke. I thought he drew himself and Gareth on the balloon pretty well. Well done, Greg!

I have a simple recipe to share. Quite easy to cook, and just dump all the ingredients into the slow cooker. An easy dish to do when I was maidless.
boneless chicken pieces
button mushrooms
carrots
ginger (4 slices)
sugar (1tbsp)
oyster sauce (4tbsp)
light soya sauce (0.5tbsp-optional)

sesame oil (optional)
pepper (to own taste)

Put all into the slow cooker and best if leave on high heat for 4 hours. Or if you are cooking it in the morning and want to have it for dinner at night, you can try leave it on at auto. It's quite a yummy dish and it definitely goes very well with rice. Try it!*Yum Yum*
