Dial 1 300 for emergency food

Have to send the kids to Quran lesson soon. Nothing to cook in the fridge plus I don't feel like cooking. Problem solved with some cash and phone in hand. The kids 100% approved it. Even got a hug from my daughter telling me 'you are the best mommy!'.  Kids are so easy to bribe. Modern-day mom!

Domestic Goddess

I'm on leave today altho still doing work while watching telly. Nigella Lawson, the domestic goddess, is on. I love cooking shows (although I haven't been able to practice my cooking skills as much lately). I quite like her recipes as they are supposedly quite doable to be made by any busy mothers. I  like the kitchen set in one of her programs (the one with christmassy lights and full-height book case which I intend to replicate in my home. Apparently, I read that the house was not hers). On her presentation, well what can I say. I think I prefer her in her older shows. She was genuinely teaching people how to cook then. Now  her programs look more and more like a food porn, not to mention that the cameras were trying very hard not to focus on her growing tum and tush. Sometimes, I feel she looks increasingly similar to Russell Brand. Ewww...
