Food for Baby Showers

What do you normally bring to a baby shower besides baby shower gifts. Oh ya! To the soon-to-be mommy, don’t buy any baby stuff before your baby showers. You might get lots of them during your baby showers!

During baby shower, there will be a gathering of family, relatives, friends and mommies. There must be food serve to make them stay longer and celebrate the occasion right?

When you are pregnant, I am not so sure whether you would have all the energy to prepare an elaborate food for your guest. Let me suggest some of the simplest and quickest way to prepare delicious finger food for your guest.

One of them is of course my favourite; muffins! In one hour time, you can get more than 30 muffins on your table. Then we have the Egg Mayo Sandwiches; healthy and wholesome. Or just buy some nice square cookies and spread tuna on it. It won’t cost you a fortune and it will definitely keep your guest busy munching and chatting away. No eating tables needed and not much cleaning to do after that too. Who has the energy to do all that unless you have a maid to help you out.

Birthday Party

“Mommy, when are you going to have a birthday party for me?”

That is the question my girls will ask every time I told them that so and so birthday is today or tomorrow even though their birthday was 2 months ago. I guess this is because I never have any birthday party for them before. When their birthday arrives, we will just buy a cake and sing birthday song. That’s all.

Coffee Maker

I love coffee if not because of the caffeine in it. I love the rich coffee aroma. When I was working, each time my colleague drinks coffee, I will stop my work to inhale and inhale the coffee aroma! Yes, I am crazy. That show how much I love coffee.

I even have a coffee maker in my room; given to me as my wedding gift by one of our close friends. It has been sitting in my cupboard for 7 years now; untouched. I wanted to give it away but I am still hoping that my body would allow me to drink this heavenly drink one day.

One day, I really cannot stand the temptation and make myself a cup of coffee. Within minutes, I start to feel giddy, perspire, and nauseous. That’s effect of caffeine to me. No more coffee for me since then.

If you are a coffee lover then you would know that brewing coffee by the cup is the only way to get the best out of your gourmet coffee. If you have not got yourself a coffee maker, you should consider Keurig One-Cup Coffee Makers. Brewing with Keurig coffee maker only takes 30 seconds. If you buy now, they are offering free Keurig coffee, free shipping and of course enjoy their low prices.

Coconut Shake

If you live nearby Klebang Besar then you would know of a small stall that sells Coconut Shake. The stall is right before Caltex, on the right hand side if you were to come from Malacca town.

I passed the place many times but always forget to stop by to have a taste of their famous Coconut Shake. Since I am not working today and the weather is extremely hot and my girls has been hitting their brother for disturbing them play. I took him away from them and head to the stall.

Here’s a picture of my 2nd girl enjoying her Coconut Shake with Vanilla Ice Cream. It’s ice blended coconut water with the coconut flesh and vanilla ice cream. Yummy and creamy.

If they serve this drink in San Diego wine bars, I am sure it will make them more unique than any other bars. Maybe the bartender could add a dash of wine to it and give it some Ummph!

Making A Different

There are many kinds of advertising company. What make them different from the rest is the people that works for them. I like to write for BTOP because of their flexibility when it comes to completing the task given. Even though task from them did not come often, I felt touched when they response immediately to my request to extend the due date. At first I wanted to just let go of all the task given due to my busy schedule but when I received such response, it motivates me to find time to complete my task.

I am so called an “advertiser” too. I am helping a nice young lady who is working for a blog advertising company to look for blogs that would be interested to participate in their campaign. I posted the campaign in a forum and I try my very best to reply to all their PM and emails immediately after I read them. Due to this, they do complete their task immediately after I sent them their assignments. That really makes my job easy.

Maybe one day if my finance permits it, I would book a room in Hard Rock Hotel San Diego and go say “Hi” to Mafe. :D

That is one of the worries that the old folk have as they become more dependent on others due to old age. No matter how old you are, how sick you may feel and how less appetite you may have, you will sure think of some special food that you want to eat before you leave this world.

My late grandma, is a very good cook. Thank God my mom picks up a lot from her. I miss her Sambal Belacan and Cencaluk; the authentic Malaccan delicacy.

She suffered from stroke for 10 years and the last 3 years of her life she was completely bed ridden. During the last years, even though she moans in pain, she made a few request for me to get her favorite food. With us around, she has no problem getting what she wants.

But what if you are living all by yourself? Why not consider checking into a homecare. If you don’t know which one to pick, you can always look for senior homecare ratings from GilbertGuide.com to choose one that suits you the most.
