Remember the other time I mentioned that my mum bought us some ready-made paste and food so that I've always something to eat?
My mum and I had a talk recently. Everytime Mr. J is on day shift (which meant I'll be alone for 12 hours with Adriaan at home), my mum would pack some food on her way home and drop by my place to pass it to me - just to ensure I have my stomach filled. Fact; if she don't do that, I'll most probably be left starving for the whole day until Mr. J comes home from work (which will be around 8.30~9pm-ish).
Looking at the situation, my mum suggested that we only shift to our new place next year before Ramadhan instead of beginning of 2018 (which was what Mr. J and I planned to - because its not good to leave the home vacant for too long ya). Her reason was that since the place I'm currently staying in, is closer to hers - it would be much easier to send food to me, compared to my new place which is much much further.
Background: Even though my new place is located at Hougang, it's the further part of Hougang whereas my sister's place (Buangkok) is closer to my parent's place.
"Baru satu anak je kau dah tak makan. Nanti ada lagi satu lagi. Kau ingat senang eh nak jaga dua anak?"
K. Mums say the darndest things but the kind where it knock some sense into you. lolol.
So I've been brainstorming on the easiest way to prepare home-cooked food. You know, proper food so I don't starve and risk getting gastric all over again.
I asked Mr. J on his opinion on what's the easiest approach that I can have proper food, and his answer was "I bought biscuits... bread... eat that lah". "Ermm no, you don't understand. If I'm gonna try breastfeeding again, I'll need to have proper food. The part reason my supply dipped is that I don't eat well. I noticed that my supply dipped after my confinement food supply ended".
Of course I can't expect him to understand that, because he's a man, right? Sigh.
Even though I have blended garlic, red onion and ginger to make cooking efficient, I guess it's not enough yet. I planned to do frozen food packs, but the prep work behind all the frozen food pack will take the whole day and looking at how occupied Mr. J is now, with running to and fro from the hospital, his back to back events, it wont turn out well.
I guess another approach that I'll try is:
To cook whatever gravy or soup the night before, have it refrigerated, and then at the same time, thaw the frozen poultry/seafood and then continue the final part of cooking the next day?
Ok, will try that - insya'Allah.
Hopefully this is much better? Please make this work, dear me. You need to EAT!
On a related note, I really wonder how other (super)mums do it... Hmmmm...
