Spelt Bread (Dinkelbrot.) & My 1st Sewing Project

I heard about spelt bread from my friends from Germany and they call it Dinkelbrot.  When I went to the store to buy myself a packet of spelt flour, I asked the kind lady there about the spelt flour. She mentioned that this flour produces a softer grain of gluten thus more gentle toward the digestive system.  She also informed me that spelt flour is NOT gluten free. However, its low GI. I used the same old recipe which I often use to make white bread but substitute the flour with spelt flour.  Here's a photo of my spelt bread.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, my other half bought me a sewing machine. My prince has been bugging me to sew him a Ben10 pants and my princess wants her Dora dress. I did not have any commercial patterns at hand. Therefore, the next best thing to do was to trace the pattern from their favourite pants / dress. Here's my finished sewing project.  Here's a photo of my son's Ben10 pants.

Here's a photo of my daughter's Dora dress.

So...this home engineer has another job...sewing...ha!ha!
That's all for this post...till next time.. ta-ta!

Chinese Fried Rice & Beanshoots Fried Noodles

As its the holiday seasons, visitors do pop by now and then and the fastest way to whip up some tummy filling food is to fry some noodles or rice (that's if you are lucky enough to have overnight rice in your fridge).  I am also pretty happy when these 1-dish meal turns out to be yummylicious and my guests ask for seconds. Here's two photos which we took before we gobbled up these 1-dish meals.  I am trying to improve my photo taking and one of my friends suggested for me to have a red background....it looks pretty good, ya?!  *wink*

New Project - S E W I N G

Yup, you heard right. Besides cooking, I am going to start sewing. My other half bought me a Toyata Sewing Machine. He said that its time for both of us to start sewing....ha!ha! Well, I have sew a few simple clothes before...a recon of my other half's Polo Shirts to toddler's pants, onesies to dresses, etc. That really saved lots of money for me as kids' clothing is as and even more expensive than adult clothing.  So, what's on my sewing list so far:

a) Ben10 printed pants for my prince
b) Dora printed dress for my princess
c) Jeans pants for my prince and princess
d) Summer dress for little old me

Wish me luck!!!
