Was velveting fish slices when I realised 2 eggs in the carton had cracked. I always checked that none of the eggs is broken before that carton goes into my grocery basket. It can't be due to hatching (hahaa of course not!) at a temperature as low as 4 degree celcius inside the fridge. If I didn't recall wrongly, the same happened with a few eggs in my previous carton. But it didn't quite bother me then coz I usually couldn't cook all the eggs before they expire. Kirin and 小雨 aren't fans of eggs.
Could it be due to expansion of egg yolk and white under too low a temperature? Probably. The egg I used for velveting just now had rather icey egg white, which I took longer than usual to separate from the egg yolk. Turned the fridge temperature a notch up. Let's see.
Simple stir-fry dishes for dinner tonight:
1. Kung pao sliced fish (batang) re-visited. Only difference was I replaced the sliced spring onions with yellow onion strips.

2. Baby bok choy stir-fry. Almost like my nai bai stir-fry, just that I blanched the baby bok choy and added 1+1/2 tsp of abalone sauce to the broth mixture.
Hmm rather boring hor... but 小雨 seemed to enjoy it. Heee

Well, highlights of the day is not going to be dinner but new Sumikko gurashi possessions!! A pair of fork and spoon, a cup and a notepad. I used to write my baking recipe notes in these cutesy notepads and tuck them in between pages of my recipe book. Sounds old school yea? That was before I own an iPhone. O they were also used to record my inventory of plain, all purpose flour, Top flour, caster superfine sugar, icing sugar etc. Yes I was that meticulous. Lol. Those were the days when Yang was lost in a baking craze.
Maybe I should start writing notes again and hang/stick them somewhere in the kitchen where I could take a quick read as I cook? I know I need to replicate the notes in my overused iPhone somewhere, before it gets misplaced by careless Yang or perishes from an overload of information.
Hmm I think I need a Sumikko gurashi pencil.. Hahaa

Ok I need to end off my day with a little creativity again.
So here you go: A 2nd bowl of YY for "Yang's Yoghurt". Ran out of sheep for Yang, so I made do with a duckie. Hahaa... Today I was more cautious and I thought this is way too neat. Could have been a little messier for a greater sense of art.
Well... **Nothing is perfect in this world**
