Getting Help

Posted by Kero at Monday, November 02, 2009 1 sweets for Kero
Well, we survived Dubai without a helper for three years. But now, Andreas is proving to be a handful. His Dada thinks we are taking care of two toddlers with his constant climbing and running. We are sorely deprived of rest and sleep nowadays.

So hubby decided we hire a part-time helper to clean the place. And cook once in awhile. I have to admit, there are times i feel very lazy to whip-up something from the fridge but then eating out is an expensive option. So I called Ate A for SOS. She used to be a nanny for a family friend. But they opted to go back home to Pinas but Ate A stayed here.

It is really very hard to find a trusted helper these days. That is the foremost reason why we never chose to hire one. I feel very fortunate to have Ate A with us since she has proven herself to another family we know. She comes here three times a week for two hours to clean and cook.

I think i read somewhere - blog or Facebook that they are looking for a part-time helper. If you need one, send me a message :)

Here are some live models making the Halloween extra special for kiddies.


I guess they went overboard with Goldilocks hihi


The Golden Chef


All the live models were allowed to meet & greet for the kids. But this ghostly English man was the only one Andreas liked to shook hands with.

Until next Pixel Bug Weekend!

Yummy Sunday - Salmon, Spinach, and Ring Cake

Posted by Kero at Sunday, November 01, 2009 8 sweets for Kero


Here is the pink salmon i grilled and blanched spinach we had for the weekend. I'm a big fan of salmon - even the head part. In fact, it's the only fish i remember buying every week! But I always end up grilling it or make a sinigang out of it. I still have to try baked salmon. But then, the family always go to Ikea Restaurant for such affordable baked dish.



Then early in the week, i made a ring chocolate cake. I used a fluted pan and followed my usual recipe except for the frosting. I melted baking chocolate and butter. Added some icing sugar and it gave a shiny, gooey finishing. I actually find it easier to work with than chocolate cream frosting.



Join the delish fun on Yummy Sunday!
