sunday.

staying home on sundays can be a rather refreshing change.

i never thought i'll get used to the idea of being home on sundays--it never felt right, and somewhat went against the part of me that just can't-sit-still. but, somewhere and somehow, work changes you i guess?

now, i can't seem to get enough of resting.

i love sundays (:


to top it off, i got to watch The Incredibles, thanks to smart tv--cable's best invention. i love being able to fast-forward the advertisements! what's more, there's a feature that enables me to fast forward at x2, x4, x8, x16 and x32 times. increeeedible speeeed.

and mom was hard at practice perfecting her muffins...with our new water oven.
i've had a hard time trying to explain how a water oven works. actually, i'm still pretty clueless, except that it uses water to cook the food. no, it doesn't steam the food so it comes out like soggy pau or kuey...it works like a regular oven, only it uses water. did that help?

but really, this oven is kind of a kitchen dream come true for me. we've never had a real oven before. and i've never seen mom bake muffins before either. mooncakes yes, muffins no. and i've always kinda lamented how we can't do baking in the house cos i never really trusted our old (now dead) microwave-oven to do oven-y things. a microwave is a microwave. an oven is an oven.

so, it was banana muffin madness today. absolutely delicious.

looking forward to all the other yummy treats my mom will whip up.

i'm planning to try making shepherd's pie.
anyone care for some? (:


and sundays aren't quite complete till sister and brother spencil pop along with baby amber for dinner. i absolutely love her delightful chuckling. sometimes i wonder if the baby laughs just so that we will laugh along with her. her grandparents have so much fun with her. our fiesty little joy-bringer!


so, sundays at home can be simply divine.
