~ ~ Goodbye, Teachers and Friends ~ ~

Friday, 19th November 2010
People said, goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again. But to me, it always causes sick of heart. Part from teachers and friends who you learn and play with is always a sad thing. Again people used to say, "We only part to meet again". However, when you meet again, will the relationship still as close as before? Will you still have topic to talk about other than HELLO?

Today is Isaac's last day in kindergarten and they have a party at school. Thought want to buy some bread or cakes from bakery shop, but seems like lack genuine. So I created my own recipe - "Mini Chicken Floss Tart".

I woke up at 5am this morning and it took me about 2 hours to get the food done. When reached school, I saw a parent brought McD for the kids (not Isaac's classmate, so the McD not for him). Wau!! I told hubby and Isaac, will my food looks lousy and I don't know whether the kids will like it or not. Thank God, Isaac said "Mummy, your one more special", then only I felt half relief.

Tools and ingredient for this recipe:

~ Bread ~
~ Chicken Floss ~
~ Cheese / Mayonnaise ~
~ Star / Round / Flower Shape Cutter ~
~ Mini Paper Cup (Optional) ~
~ Mini Muffin Tray ~
~ Rolling Pin ~

1 & 2. Cut the bread into shapes using cutter. You can use more than one shape, but my case, I only use star cutter.
3. Put a mini paper cup in the muffin tray, put the bread on it.



4. Use rolling pin, press in the center of the bread.
5. Then you get a nice hole in the middle.
6. Put in the oven and toast until it turns brown.



7. The bread after toast will serve as mini cup.
8. Fill the cup with chicken floss. You can use tuna or anything else.
9. All cups are filled with chicken floss.



10. Top with small slice of cheese or mayonnaise, then send it to oven again for approximately 2 minutes.
11. Leave it at room temperature.
12. Cute mini chicken floss tart is ready to be served.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and for kids, Happy Holiday....

Bento #238 - Gingerbread Man

Thursday, 18th November 2010
It's abit too early to pack "Gingerbread Man Bento" (^.^) This gingerbread man cookies I bought it from Mark & Spencer yesterday. I was choosing some cookies to give it to Isaac's class teacher as a token of appreciation for thier hard work and guidance in this year. Isaac's vision fell on the nicely packed gingerbread man. Since we have never try gingerbread man, I bought a pack of it.

I don't know how gingerbread man cookies should taste like, to us (Isaac & myself), it has abit of ginger taste.... hmm....

Bento #237 - The Carefree Ladybugs

Monday, 15th November 2010
This week is the last week of school then comes the year end long holiday. Not sure if I will fix bento during school holiday, perhaps this week might be my last week of bento making... Isaac is going to primary 1 next year, he has to leave the house as early as 6:45am. If I were to prepare bento for him, that means I need to wake up probably at 5:30am? Can I sacrify my one hour sleep? Hmmm......

I have three choices:
1) Wake up as usual, prepare bento for Isaac, send him to school then only I dress up myself and have a great breakfast with hubby.
2) Wake up as usual, don't have to prepare bento, get myself ready (dress up + breakfast), send him to school then go direct to office, start work earlier and come back earlier in the evening.
3) Wake up one hour ealier, prepare bento, get myself ready, send him to school then go direct to office, start work earlier and come back earlier in the evening.

Let's see how things going first, how soon I can get use of the life chance (~.~).....

Bento #236 - Police on the Way . . .

Friday, 12th November 2010
"Peep Poo... Peep Poo..." Police is chasing thieves again (~_~). This is the second police bento I fixed, is the same set of cutter I use for this bento. Bento tools is really handy in bento making, it speedup the process and gives good result most of the time. Ever since I busy with work, I have not surf for new tools. It's time to cheer up myself..... (What an excuse!!)
