No grease Dinner

Despite wearing sleeveless sundress,clover still complained she's feeling hot,and we were in a place where it was air-conditioned.Strangely,most of the infants I saw were virtually wrapped up like a little"bak chang",covered from head to toe.I do like this sundress,don't you?hehe........

As mentioned before,having to juggle both household and an active baby is certainly no mean feat,and I do take my hat off to my buddy,Rachel,who can cook and look after two kids,both below 3 yrs old.Really"pei fu" ...Brought clover out for her rotavirus vaccination,which may lead to fever,irritability,diarrhoea and loss of appetite within the next few days.Hmm...being the protective mum(my lao gong will attest to it as being overprotective),I decided to head home quickly in case clover do suffer from any of the side effect.Imagine being out with a cranky baby,one can forget about shopping in peace.Haha..Somehow,after reaching home,I felt utterly exhausted,thus dinner was a simple ,fuss-free meal.The salmon was poached,veggies were boiled,and making the cheese sauce was a breeze.No slogging over the hot stove,no struggling of trying to scrub the wall of grease or even mop the floor.hehe..Feeling lazy to cook a gourmet meal?Try this the next time.Oh,heres the cheese sauce recipe that one can easily whip up:

25g butter
25g flour(cornflour works fine too)
300ml stock/milk
50g grated cheese

1.Melt the butter over low heat.
2.Add flour and stir gently with wooden spoon till it forms a smooth paste.
3.Remove from heat,blend in liquid gradually.Return to heat,stir till mixture boils,add in grated cheese.Season with salt and pepper if prefer.(I did not add any seasonings as the cheese is salty)
