After 4 days, probably not. :)
Over the past 4 days, I found out why God has made us work. Well, perhaps, to be fair, a homemaker is really a job also. But it's a job that is even more tiring than working in a REAL job. Can anyone identify?
Over the past 4 days, I kinda took over my mum's role in the house. Sweep & wipe floor, bring Spanner for a walk, wash clothes, hang clothes, keep a lookout for the rain, feed my dogs, cook, hospital. Of course, then, my mum stays in the hospital from morning to evening. Night time is her time to rest. For me, I'll be in the hospital in the morning and back home at about 1230pm and back to the hospital again at 430/5pm - 8/830pm.
Now.. Let's talk about what I enjoy doing amongst the many small jobs in a house. - Cook.
I have over the 4 days learned one very important rule of thumb from my mummy about boiling soup. 3 chicken legs is the trick to my mummy's great soup! (+ the many other ingredients) I can't believe it honestly! On Tuesday, I made Macaroni. On Wed, I made Winter Melon soup. And today, I made ABC soup. (ABC soup is a huge mixture of ingredients poured into the soup) I expected mummy to leave with me a long list of "to-do" but no. All she tells me
is "Pour all the ingredients and 3 chicken legs and bring the water to boil for 15mins. When the water boils, put in the pork ribs, turn down the fire and boil for another 45mins." Cool..! As simple as that.. :) Anyone wants recipe, ask me. :P Hahaha!!!
This is the macaroni soup.
Today, mummy and I have decided to swap shifts. She will take on the night shifts and I take on the afternoon shifts. Cause my daddy's extremely difficult and moody in the nights.. Thought probably my mum could handle him better than me as she is way more patient than me. Past few nights left me rather despondent after exiting the hospital. I shall spare the details. Time to sleep. Got a breakfast appointment with Old Friend then to office for a training.
