It’s been a really rainy week. There were so many flash floods in the past week and the weather has been icy cold too. But this signals that Christmas is coming soon. So everything is going to be fine. I hope next week turns out well too…
The boy is having his year-end holidays, again. This marks the end of his lower primary days, and he will be going on to the upper primary levels from next year onwards. Time really flies. He can sleep by himself now, eat by himself, and do work or read by himself. Soon, he will be going out with his friends by himself, going home by himself and eating meals all by himself. I am trying to treasure all these precious times I have with him while I still can, before he becomes fully independent.
It is coming to the end of the year. I am already looking forward to setting up the Christmas tree soon. Maybe, I should do it sometime next week.
The oyakodon is a type of Japanese rice bowl (donburi) which has both the parent and the child (chicken and egg) together in the same dish (hence the term ‘parent-and-child donburi’). It is basically a rice bowl that is topped with a kind of omelette that’s cooked and combined together with a light stock and sauce.
A financier has French origin, a cake baked with ground almond, eggs and icing sugar and that takes the shape of a rectangular gold bar. I love how this cake comes with fruit toppings, because it makes them really palatable, attractive and irresistible for both the young and old.
