One of the reasons why our family home at Lentor had a sizable library of books was because my elder brother and myself were avid book buyers and readers. Funnily though, for myself I wasn’t in the habit of re-reading
One ton of TLS
Sheez, it had been a long, afternoon affair making wantons and soup! Had it not for the fact that I was relatively free today, I’d have made a mess out of the kitchen. The preparation of the pork broth for wanton soup was
