I still love one of my top favourites - Moshi Mushroom from BreadTalk of course, but I had learnt it doesn't get baked till afternoon at the outlet near our new home. So I gotta find some new a.m. loves.
Here you go...
Watched a cute video on "How to cook a perfect pork chop!" by the kitchn. I almost drooled at the word "juiciest" when she said it. So I tried this today with my oven-safe skillet and sliced pork loin. But things didn't turn out as well, with a poor first attempt at brining. Guess my sliced pork loin were too thin (compared to the pork chops in the recipe), so they became over-salty after brining and seasoning. As instructed by the recipe, I seared the undersides of the pork loin, flipped them and transferred the oven-safe skillet to finish cooking inside the oven. I didn't have an instant-read thermometer, so it was pure but poor judgement with my eyes. Eventually, I seared the undersides of the pork loin to golden brown over the stovetop as well.
O before searing, I did an extra step to lightly dredge the pork loin (after brining and seasoning) for some crisp...
Consolation - I had my 小雨 to surprise and cheer me up with new words in her burgeoning vocabularly bank.
"How about this?" 小雨 pointed to the picture of a giraffe on the play mat. My girl said a sentence of 3 words today! And then without waiting for an answer from me, she said "Giraffe!".
As she watched me hang Kirin's shirts from the clothes washer, I asked "How about this?"
"衣服!" she replied excitedly.
"Help you" she requested for help to spoon up the last bit of Marigold low fat natural yoghurt in her bowl. 小雨 loves this healthy after-dinner dessert as much as mama does.

Planet Saturn and its moons make up the art-in-Yang's-yoghurt tonight. Yep, Yang's still in the mood for planets, stars and the moon, from the Hi-5 episode last night.
I was searching
You were on a mission
When our hearts combined like
A neutron star collision
I had nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other
With no trace of fear that
Our love would be forever
And if we die, we die together
And lie, I said never
'Cause our love would be forever

Sometimes, I feel old and slow, like Saturn. When people on Earth have completed 29.4 orbits around the Sun (in 29.4 Earth years), I have orbited merely 1 round. But never mind its slowness, it's a consolation for Saturn to have so many moons and moonlets revolving around it.
Old and slow, but never alone.
