Monday again...

Wow, the weather pixie in Ann Arbor has new clothes today! The weather is getting warmer and I hope it stays that way.

Sunday was unproductive in terms of school work. I went to church, then to Main Street to pick up some cards and a couple of items my sister-in-law had ordered, and then headed to my friend Elizabeth's home for tea. I've been going to Elizabeth's place for lovely tea parties and play sessions with her three children. Yesterday, I arrived with a basket of strawberries and a book I'd bought in Singapore for the children. It's supposed to be a book of children's favorite Singapore stories but some of them were completely unknown to me! Well, I read two to the children anyway. Yanka wanted the story which had mermaids and Tony, the oldest, wanted the story with a tiger in it. I had to read in a very loud voice because little Kiril was competing with me in the living room, playing on his own and being adorable as usual.

In the evening, I overcooked my eggs and cheese special, an Italian side dish, but brought it over to Peiming's birthday party anyway. It was nice to get together with familiar faces. I stayed longer than I'd planned and left the place sleepy and all ready for bed. Tuba player, Jake, looked like he was going to be stuck to the carpet until Lim Jia unpeeled him and pushed him out the door, disheveled and mumbling about sleep.

The week begins again. Let's hope I last through it.

Oh May, it's nothing much really. I buttered a baking dish, cracked 6 - 9 eggs in (not breaking the yolks), placed thinly-sliced prosciutto/ham/turkey bacon in between the yolks, some onions, green pepper, seasoned with salt and peper, then covered everything with parmasean cheese, dotted the surface with butter, then baked at 400F. Now I was supposed to have baked it for 7-10 minutes, but at 10 minutes, the thing didn't look cooked yet, so I left it longer. Too long, and everything got too cooked. The yolks are supposed to be soft, not cooked thoroughly, and the egg whites set. One day, I'll make it for you =)
