Claypot Chicken Rice by Rice Cooker

See previous posts here.

After trying some sachet claypot rice marinate, i still feel Teo Family's marinate is the best. hehe!

Thanks mum for teaching me how to cook this dish. I shall go get a real claypot and try the next round. 

2 Dishes Dinner

no big fish no big meat, simple Emperor Chicken (not even with garnishing - parsley) i feel that there is no need as nobody at home eats that. It will land up in the dustbin anyway. The vegetable is Wang Bok with something like mock abalone (duno what is it also.) Notice my dishes are getting simpler, and mostly on-pot meal? 

Because hubby has night lectures 3 times a week, so i have to manage the kids all by on my own from cooking to washing dishes, sometimes laundry (thank goodness we have dryer). Then to kids school work. Everyday is so rush, because i have so little time and kids have to go to bed by 9pm (this is to make sure they have sufficient sleep).

Sometimes when i blog, it's without word because i have no time. I asked myself, is being a SAHM good? So i googled about SAHM vs Working Mum. Judge yourself. Both have its pros and cons. I personally is afraid that one day when i become SAHM, i will be super auntie and gossip all day long. HAHA! #justsorandom
