The Sunday before school starts is always a rather humdrum day spent at home. I’m nagging the kids to tie up the loose ends of whatever homework or projects are due. It’s worse than making them hunt down a health insurance lead they’re so bent on enjoying their “last few hours of complete freedom from the drudgery of school” (in their own words!).

I did my groceries yesterday. Today, I’m mentally working on next week’s meal menu. As usual, there’s this doom and gloom about having to go to school so I’ll have to think up some nice recess food to cheer them up.

Earlier on, I took them to Carl’s Jr at One Utama and to the bookstore one more time for last-minute stationery. Instead of a burger, I ran across to Sun Moulin and bought myself these ten pastry petits .

See, so pretty, ya? And so yummy. I had a seaweed floss bun, tuna puff, chicken puff, raisin roll, cocoa roll, pineapple roll, 2 blueberry and 2 peach danishes, all in one sitting. Burp ! Now I’m officially in love with the cocoa roll (the darkest piece in the photo), it’s heaven!

But you know me and my super-metabolism. By the time I got home an hour later, I was hungry again and had a bowl of homemade meehoon (rice noodle) in abalone soup. Yep, I’m quite the pig !
