Our Little Striptease

…card card…
There’s something about a stack of picture cards that our girl can’t resist getting her hands on. The thing about giving Hannah these not-too-thick rectangular pieces of paper for play is that she might fold, tear or crush them altogether.
Re-entering the Kitchen: Lotus Root ‘n’ Peanuts Soup
I’m starting to get some success at making clear Chinese soups at home. My initial attempts gave really bland results. Two mistakes I tend to commit in the past: 1) use of excessive water, and 2) use of high heat.
Re-entering the Kitchen: Corn & Huai Shan Chicken Soup

Musings of a New Parent – Part 1
Hannah is somewhere between 20 and 21 months old now. For the past couple of weeks, I have been musing over the ups and downs we faced as her parents. We are almost through with level 1 of the parenting
“Milk milk, milk milk”
Just a quick entry on Hannah’s milk diary. 1st-3rd month: Breast milk + supplement with formula milk (brand: Similac) 4th- 14th month: Formula milk (brand: Similac and then Mamil Gold) 15th-20th month: Formula milk (brand: Mamil Gold) + fresh milk
