Well, as expected,my pancakes turned out exactly NOT like the photo.
Mine turned brownish black.Probably due to the bananas.I added raisins though.
Ryan liked it. Coz i also added Lyons Golden Syrup onto the pancakes.
Hubby just ate plain. Sure not nice la!!
Going to try to make banana pancakes today. For Ryan and Hubby.
Found this recipe in one of the food blogs.
I was looking at the few brands of wheat flour in the supermarket. funny that they most didn't have an expiration date.
I had one bag of flour in my fridge.. but i think it has way passed the 2 year mark. Shows how much baking i do.
So i got one new bag of flour today. Hope it turns out like the picture!!!
I believe I have not been writing in my own blog for a month already.
Why ah?
Dunno too. I suppose I do have a lot of things to pen down... when i am not at the computer. But once i sit in front of it, my mind goes blank.
My life pretty evolves around my son. Sad but true.
But i don't think it is anything wrong. As long as I still have time for myself and other people in my life. I will say Ryan takes 75% of me and the rest is for other people.
Wow. That is huge chunk!
I wake up and think what i want to do with Ryan today. I go to sleep and think what i want to do with Ryan tomorrow. Shall we go shopping? Shall we do any special activities? How am I to teach him new development activities? What shall I cook for his meals tomorrow? Is he bored with his toys? Shall I buy him new toys?
And the list goes on...
Fortunately I do have my job... which i go to once or twice a week. So it is kind of a little break from my daily routine. And also interact with other people.
IT HAS HAPPENED!!
The day i dreaded has arrived...
In the past one week, i have already seen 2 cockroaches in my new house. Sob! Sob! How do u stop the inevitable? The first one was slightly bigger. Today i saw one in the dishes cupboard and i killed it straight away. It was a teeny tiny little one. But if there is one, there will be more!!! I was so paranoid i opened up all the drawers and cupboards to see whether i could spot anymore.
Why o why would 'they' want to step into my new house so soon?
I clean and mop the floor twice a week. I throw the rubbish every night so that there won't be any overnight food to attract the pests. There is very little clutter around. No food is left outside in the kitchen. I suppose i have to step up in keeping this house pest-free!
I switched on the telly this morning while eating my breakfast and turned to Oprah. I normally do watch Oprah or the breakfast show in the morning. Anyway, the topic for the day was 'Autism'. It really drew me in while watching the program as the guests that were featured were parents of autistic children.
I have heard alot of this word 'autism' but i never really met an individual who was autistic or read more about it. As i saw how these children were on the videos and the anguish and strength as the parents spoke, it made me feel so much for what those families were going through. I could see the love of those parents for their children who were autistic and how much faith they had for their child to be normal again.
The sad thing that i too feel as i am a parent myself is that those children were born normal and had normal development... up until a certain age when it just suddenly changed. Two parents said it was after their child fell sick and had fever. I can't possibly understand what those parents would have gone through accepting the fate of their child.
Oprah herself said that that particular episode was to highlight the awareness of autism in society and for the public to understand more when they are faced with situations with individuals and families who have autistic children. One parent said..."instead of judging the parent in public, she hopes someone would say 'may i help you?'"
After that show, i just felt all my worries and problems in my life were so small compared to what other people in the world are facing.
Absolutely loved 'Juno'!! Watched it this morning.. although a bit outdated. Loved it from the beginning to the end! It should have won best picture at the Oscars. The dialogue was absolutely great and witty. And the acting was so good. I actually wished that the characters actually existed in real life and that it wasn't just a movie i was watching.
I have been having a marathon in watching movies. My dad got me some DVDs from Penang last week. So i have been sneaking and watching them when I was suppose to be doing some spring cleaning of the house. Limit myself to one a day while Ryan is at school. Yesterday i watched 'Dan in real life' which was absolutely interesting and touching as well. Now i am a big fan of Steve Carell. Hope i spelled his name correctly. He is so cute in a nerdy way.
