First experience with my new Oven

I was so afraid that I might fall sick again, and guess what, I am down with bad flu again. My body is so weak after the confinement and whenever any of the kids at home fall sick, I will surely get their bugs. Even today, someone told me that I have got a very weak womb and it is so obvious shown on my face (dark dull skin around my mouth area).

It is really not easy to take care of the boys although they are almost 6 months now. I have been going through sleepless nights and constantly fall sick after sending my Confinement Lady off home with the Newark Airport Car Service. Luckily there is maid to keep an eye on the sleeping kids in the afternoon so I could steal a short nap. At least home are cleaned and meals are prepared with another helper around.

I was so looking forward to attend one gathering with some old friends but so sad that I could not make it last minute. Nevertheless, QQ and I had some fun baking with our new oven during the long holiday.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse Butter Cookies

Although we did not celebrate Christmas, we still did some Christmas cookies (recipe of� butter cookies) to give away to our neighbours (QQ’s friends). See how crowded my table top is now with my HUGE new oven and read some of our funny experience with our new oven.

maybe you can try these remedies, very good to stop the flu.

Put the fine chopped garlic in a glass, pour in a hot boiled water, cover the glass lid till the hot water turns to lukewarm water, add a spoon of honey into the garlic water before serving.

if you have wet cough with lots of phlegm, try to boil the “lo-hon-guo”, it actually cures the dry cough too.

i was very weak too, definitely couldn’t escape myself from being attacked by any virus. But now, i can survive after i have these remedies.
