Rare Moments
It has been a while since we had a comforting home-cooked dinner in our little bubble world, on a weekday after work. It has been a while since I last cooked a "proper" meal other than instant noodles.
Decided to slow cook some EJ Beef Stew last night, for tonight's dinner. And I was pleasantly surprised that all my chopping of onions, carrots and potatoes took only about 20 minutes, a vast improvement from the ONE HOUR I used to take when I first started cooking.
Thanks to Prima instant mix of sambal sauce, The Boy helped to whip up some shiokalicious prawns with snow peas. Yes, he even wore my apron to prove that he was da chef this evening.
As we sat down to dinner, we thanked God for giving us these precious moments. It was bliss to be savouring home-cooked dinner after a hard day's work. And on top of that, today's a little more special - the Jemej celebrates our paktor-versary!

Our homecooked dinners recently have comprised toast, scrambled eggs, canned soup and nacho chips!!Maybe its time for us to whip out the aprons soon and cook some real food too :)

Easiest to go for the slow cooker, dump everything in, and wait till end of day to savour. :)
