May Day Pancakes
For breakfast this morning I made my May Day Pancakes. Here's how.
Ingredients:
flour, sugar, milk, butter (to fry pancakes with), salt and eggs.

How:
Put all the ingredients above aside. Instead, open a pack of ready made Tesco Traditional Pancakes. Heat in a microwave oven for 30 seconds for each pancake. Serve while hot (nice with lemon juice and maple syrup).

Can't be easier! Good luck trying.


Our Dinner

Earlier today while visiting Amar and Nisa at the hospital, a friend called. She expressed her concerns about what Nisa is eating in hospital. Her MAIN concern was ME. She asked Nisa, could Mynn cook? What is Sarah going to eat ... etc2.

I felt quite challenged by what Nisa's friend, so I decided to cook properly tonight (pictured). I call it "Tamagohan to Teriyaki tori to mori no yasai". I know; a mouthful to eat and say! The rice is enveloped in a film of omelette with spring onions. The Teriyaki chicken is self explanatory. The vegetables were prepared in a "special way" then sprinkled with fresh ground pepper and sea salt. To bring together the flavours, a dash of Lingham's chilli sauce did the job (tomato sauce for Sarah).

Notes:

1. On second thought for the picture I should have cut the omelette to show the rice inside.
2. To Nisa's friend *ehem*Mama Danial* it's not that I can't cook, it's just that (a) I've forgottened (b) Sarah kept me occupied at home, even though I cared for her food, I neglected my own.
3. The term Mori for vegetables was entirely made up by me just now! LOL. "Mori" means forest in Japanese. I meant the vegetables were fresh from Sainsbury's as if just harvested from a forest <- I know it doesn't make any sense.
4. By the "special way" to prepare the vegetables I meant boiled in water. LOL.
   
5. Poor Nisa sent me a picture message of what she had for dinner (pictured below). What it is is up to dear readers' interpretations but I think (and hope) it's not vomit. ;(
