Amaranth Greens or Chinese Spinach soup


One of my favourite soup, the Amaranth greens or Chinese Spinach or Bayam (Malay) soup. I boiled the chicken meat or bones as soup base and added on tomatoes, a slice of ginger and amaranth greens, and some salt and seasoning to taste.

Hippocrates' soup

This is the Hippocrates' soup that is recommended in the detox and rejuvenation programme that I underwent last week. It is supposed to be boiled (simmer) for few hours until all ingredients are very soft.

The ingredients are (for up to 8 servings):
  • Tomato (1 cup)
  • Onion ( 1 large one)
  • Garlic (3 cloves)
  • Celery (1 cup)
  • Carrot ((1 cup)
  • Potatoes (5)
  • Pumpkin (1 cup)
  • Leeks (1 cup)
  • Distilled water
Preparing directions:

Cut all the above into cube and put them into slow cooker with distilled water just enough to cover the all the ingredients. Simmer for few hours until all the ingredients are very soft.

Do not put any salt and seasonings.

Italian Long Life Non Stick Frying Pan

After throwing away the scratched non stick pan, I was struggling to cook with the stainless steel and other frying pan, they stick and very difficult to clean up, an easy and simple cooking like making pancakes became disasters by using a stainless steel and other frying pans that I have. I was told that stainless steel pans will not stick at a certain temperature, well......I just couldn't get the right temperature.

Without doubt that stainless steel is a much healthier choice when comes to cooking utensils and cook wares but I am just not good at handling the frying pan so I bought an Italian made (it says on the label) Long Life Non Stick Frying Pan at a restaurant and kitchen utensils and cookwares specialised shop just outside my house.
With a new non stick frying pan, making pancakes and other cooking have been so much easier, besides saving on cooking oil, it also saves me time to wash it up too.

Taufu Pok stuffed with minced pork with sauce. A dish from my mum.

Meals at Kenny Rogers

 Quarter chicken with mash potato, potato salad and rice as side dishes
 
Half eaten macaroni cheese and chicken, can't wait for a photo to be taken.  My girls love the macaroni cheese very much, we have to ordered a separate serving after they finished the three portions of macaroni cheese we ordered earlier.
