however, i just want to share with you another recipe i made for my daughter’s and hubby’s lunch box and breakfast for myself and my son.

tortilla sandwich

ingredients:

• tortilla (warm up on frying pan – no oil please)
• chicken nugget (i ‘fried’ on non stick frying pan without oil)
• cabbage (thinly slice)
• tomato (dice)
• mayonnaise
• jalapeno cheese sauce
• chille sauce

spread the mayonnaise on tortilla, put the cabbage, nuggets, tomato, jalapeno sauce and chille sauce…

wrap… &…

cut…

walla!!

ingredient:

1. croissant bread
2. chicken nugget (fried and cut into slices)
3. salad
4. jalapeno sauce (bought from my office mate)

stuff all ingredients (no. 2-4) in the croissant bread and wallaaa!! deeliiiciioouusss….

as for my daughter this morning… (well, actually most of the mornings…) i caught that she didn’t like to make her bed and fold her blanket… what she always did was just roll up the blanket and put it under her pillow… ‘creative’ huh…

as for my son (goes to the day care centre at 8am), he likes to watch tv while having his breakfast and while i get ready for work. i always caught him watching cartoons especially tom & jerry and mr. bean which i really don’t actually encourage for him to.

so, today… he did promised me that he won’t watch cartoon before switching on the tv. i was getting ready for work while he’s having his breakfast. when i came out from my room… well… he didn’t switch on the cartoon channel. i was kinda relief by thinking that he walk the talk.

but… when i was having my breakfast, he changed the channel and watched mr. bean! i was kinda ok with that for a while until he changed to tom & jerry show… and the following dialog took off…

myself : “you promised not to watch cartoon today…”

my son : ” i just want to watch for a while. anyway, i couldn’t find any number for me to change.” (while looking at the remote control)

‘creative’ huh…

moral of the story for me is to always watch over my kids… always…

mini bun sandwich, wedges and oranges…

well, i never take any pictures of the food that i prepared and it sounds boring just from reading my instruction or description… so… here it is…

the filling for the mini buns is made of minced chicken meat, diced tomato, cucumber and pineapple. i fried the minced chicken meat with diced onion and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning. then i added all the vegetables and stir for a while just to let the juice out. put it in the bun and pour some chilli sauce. i fried some wedges and spread some mayonnaise on top. some oranges and waallaa! lunch box for my daughter and breakfast box for my hubby…

it tastes lovely. you can get the crunchiness from the cucumber, juiciness from tomato, the sweetness from the pineapple and the flakiness from the chicken meat.

you can just simply tailor-made your ingredients… have a try!

this morning, i prepared breakfast and lunch box for my daughter. the statement of “this is not enough for my friends”… had really bothers me for a long time since last year. i began wondering the kind of friends she’s having? then, i started to nag / advice to her by saying that…

“you need to find a friend who likes you of who you are. not a friend who is taking advantage of you just because you bring her lunch everyday. i don’t mind you sharing, but i prepared this lunch box is for you and not your friend. i want you to have the energy to learn… i’m more concern about you… you may let your friend have a taste of your food but not get them full… i want you to get full, not your friend…”

was i too harsh on her? maybe she meant well… or i’m just being too protective of her… maybe i should just let her make some mistakes huh…
