Hot & Sour Tofu Slices

This is another appetizing dish from Wendy's blog Table For 2 or more ,  that I have bookmarked. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to test it out and gosh , it was really really good.  The combination of the sauce ingredients makes this dish explosive.  The hot tangy and almost pickled like onions flavor sauce coated the tofu slices, making the combined taste and flavor explosive.  The hot chillies gave it the oomph needed for this tangy dish.   Fantastic ! and I am glad I remembered to bookmark it :)  Read on  to check out the recipe.

Extra Microphone For Family Day Karaoke

We are planning for our office  Family Day , this coming April.  We have to organize games and treasure hunt for the office staff and their family.  One of the issue brought up during the discussion for our Family Day   was the outdoor games and an extra microphone is needed for the karaoke session to be held after dinner.  My boss has approved the purchase of an extra microphone and he asked our treasurer to get the funds ready so that we could get to buy blue yeti at GC . I am looking forward to our Family Day which is always full of excitement and adventure.  I bet the treasure hunt would be fun and I am looking forward to crooning a few songs for the karaoke session :)

Oven Fried Onion Rings

This is something I baked for the Piggies when they were home for CNY...a finger food to go with the cold beer.  Something simple to whip up and yet finger licking good.   Yea...Oven Fried Onion Rings !!! It is addictive and healthy too coz it is oven fried instead of deep frying. Crunchy chips on the outside and sweet and soft on the inside....whoa, the perfect food to go with the beer.  Heaty maybe but definitely much healthier :)  But seeing them downing down cans and cans of cold beer , I am not worried the heat gets to them .  Read on to see how easy it is to make this onion rings finger food :)  

Jade Yoga Mats

More and more people are going for Yoga classes. My church friends are asking me to join their yoga classes after hearing that I am suffering from ' tennis elbow '. They thought that I played tennis and got myself into this situation LOL! the fact is I did not and I injured my muscle /tendon when I was potting around the garden . I may have caused the injury while lifting a heavy pot.  Now seeing my in pain, they asked me not to do gardening anymore and join their yoga exercise instead.   Well, I think I might join them after I fully recover from this stupid injury.  I need to get ready a jade yoga mat for the Yoga class.  I think ordering one online will be cheaper and more so it is made from eco-friendly materials.  I understand that for every Jade Yoga mat sold, Jade Yoga will plant a tree mmm  a good cause no doubt and I will definitely give them my support !

Spicy Sesame Eggplant/Aubergine

I have some aubergine/eggplant in the fridge , leftover from making the aubergine omelette a few days ago.  I will be cooking simple for another few weeks....my tennis elbow still gives me the ache  :(  anyway, we still need to eat and eating out most of the time is not good for me.  I still have to cook light dishes for our dinner . I googled for eggplant dishes and I came across Martha Stewart's Spicy Sesame Eggplant and I got bewitched by it.  This is a dish  that will have you eating non stop...it is  spicy , tangy and aromatic.   The sauce that coats the eggplant strips is so  flavorful that when you put on strip on your tongue, you could immediately taste the flavors of garlicky hot chilli , the sharp  tangy lime juice and the aromatic sesame.....the combination of these flavors made the eggplant addictive !  Love it and I think for people who loves eggplant, you will definitely love this preparation :)    Do read on for the recipe taken from Martha's website.

Josh Bought A Bunn Airpot For Himself ! :)

I am happy that my Josh has finally settled down in his new place. He recently left for Singapore after securing his dream job.  You know as his Momsie , I am worried whether he is eating well and I will be chatting with him , asking this and asking that until he said " Mom, please, I am not a child anymore "  I am doing fine and you dont have to worry about me.  Yesterday, I went shopping and bought myself a airpot for brewing my coffee ! "   Whoa...my boy is now a grown up young man so I do not need to worry anymore for him :)  He told me he chose his BunnAirpot from best selection of airpots and he has the best cup of brewed coffee before he start work.  What can I say anymore to him ?    I can only say " Well done , son ! "  LOL!
