2eggs, lightly beaten
2tbsp fresh milk
salt n pepper
1tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup croutons
3-4 shitakes
Spring onion
Some shredded cheddar (optional)

Add egg mixture to pan, stirring until large curds form and eggs are halfway set about 2mins.
Press croutons into eggs. Sprinkle with cheese n bake until puffed and center is just set, 5 to 7mins.

Lotus Root Soup

It's time to take a break from fancy meals, it feels really good to be back to the basics. 

The taste of the lean meat complimented the sweetness of these dried honey dates and the end result was very light, pleasing, and refreshing soup that I just couldn't stop sipping.

Celebrating our 20th Married Year

Our 20th years of togetherness is achieved after going through a lot of compromises,adjustment, misunderstandings and then understanding each other again. 。。this year is a little special!  Because we are the CHEF today!  Hahaha 。。。we cook together!!
I honestly feel that cooking together is one of the best way to spend more moments together, the chopping, the stirring, the tasting,  the washing, the mopping haha 。。I think people usually give importance to the 20th anniversary, or the 30th, or even 50th!  But I think that each and every anniversary is special in its own way.  like we tends to celebrate 25th years of marriage only once, we also get to spend our 20th anniversary only once, next year will be the 21st!  We just feel special and loved because in the end, that is all that counts!*^_^*

 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, dear! 

回忆这二十年的点点滴滴,一路走来,我们不再勉强对方一定要喜欢自己的东西,也不渴求对方陪着自己,在工作上相互提醒,生活上相互关心,因为朝夕相处,所以更清楚彼此的性格,也更能明白对方的想法,虽然有时也有相互指责,但最终能相互理解和包容。更庆幸的是孩子渐渐长大,也更懂事。这二十年的时光,是我们人生中最宝贵和最富有的!
