i love the kitchen =)

I am starting to regain my strength and energy this week though i find it tougher to jump out of bed in the morning because of night feeds.

My kitchen duties are resuming bit by bit, and i finally had the mind to make burgers from scratch last night.

To keep our fat intake low, i usually mince up beef blocks for dishes requiring minced meat. and instead of the usal bread crumbs added to burgers, i put in ground dried tofu to up our calcium intake.

so when i mean from scratch, yup, the food processor comes out.

lots of vegetables burger stew

with a burger chocked full of lotus root bits

broccolli with sesame dressing

J can't really do broccollis. ask him to prepare, and he asks do i smash it against the wall or shake the bag?

removing the thick brocolli skin and separating the florets are a little too complicated for him, so since i was all in the mood for cooking, i requested for broccolli from the supermart and did it my own.

i think it was expensive, as with a lot of vegetables these few days with the funny weather. but i so wanted to have some brocs!

grille hanpen fishcakes

and our almost the same everyday lunch

soba =)

i am happy with soba everyday. and so is J. so we basically alternate between udon and soba and vary the toppings in it for fuss free lunches.
