It is the time of the year again to celebrate that very day two years ago when I had the greatest pain of my life. When the little bundle of joy entered my life.

I’ve always wondered how a cake or bread would taste like when it’s baked with grind cornmeal, it being a flour-like grain that’s made from dried maize. Well, curiosity got the better of me and I finally decided to buy a packet of cornmeal from the supermarket to try out a cornmeal bread recipe. The result? The cornmeal bread tasted so fragrant and sweet, not unlike the texture of a cake but with a slightly denser and chewier texture, not to mention the light corn flavour that helps to lift the bread from its heaviness.


I have a secret list of comfort food that I turn to whenever I am on a low. Noodles and pasta – basically the high carb food – are in this sinful list. Every time I indulge in it, I’ll feel an immediate sugar-high rush to my brain which instructs me to switch off and go to sleep. Time to catch some monsters in my dreams, says I to myself after a satisfying meal of pasta or noodles each time.
Which is why I rarely touch these carbs when I am working in the day time. Oh no, not when I have to write serious emails and do serious reports.

I started reading this book very coincidentally. The boy was playing at the settee where the books at home are shelved and I was seated right where the books are. Looking after him could be a prolonged chore, so I decided to reach out for a book – this book – and started to read it. I could not bring myself to stop and thence finished reading it quite quickly.


I rarely have the chance to eat junk food or drink softies or such nowadays. We rarely eat out – the three of us – reason being it’s difficult to find decent food to feed the little boy out of the house. When we do, it has to be real decent food. Which means mummy and daddy cannot sneak in any junks or cold drinks too because the little boy is smart and will want a share of it too.
