Fried Tofu and Chicken

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Foodie Friday

Tofu basket with vegetables

Last weekend we went to a coffee shop at Alexandra for dinner. We ordered a few different dishes and here are some of my favourite. The picture above is of a Tofu basket which was filled with nuts, prawns and other vegetables. Traditionally it was made of yam and deep fried. This tofu version tastes much better and I don’t feel so “stuffed” after eating.

Fried chicken

Deep fried chicken ( Buffalo wings) was really very tasty. I love the crispy exterior and the tender juicy flesh inside. I’m not sure what they use to season it but it is something which I hope to be able to replicate using the air fryer at home.

Writer’s Workshop: Very Fun Being a Kid

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop

The Kids playing

Being a kid is certainly a lot of fun. The world is so big and interesting and there are so many things which you can discover. Every day is a learning experience and one can indulge in all the fun activities day in and day out. There is no need to worry about anything and playing part of your JOB as a kid.

Sometimes one really wish that it is possible to go back to being a kid and be free of all the worries and stress of being an adult.

Here is a list of 10 things which I miss about being a kid.

1. Getting to eat whatever I want and not having to worry about putting on weight.

2. Being able to play the whole day.

3. Getting presents and treats all year around.

4. Being able to say.. “Mummy/Daddy carry me” and get out of having to walk the whole distance home from the supermarket.

5. Getting to go out with friends after school to have fun.

6. Being easily satisfied and enjoying the simple things like a packet of potato chips.

7. Not having many responsibilities

8. Going on holidays every school holiday.

9. Getting ferried everywhere by my parents instead of having to drive myself and the kids everywhere now.

10. Being able to fall asleep anywhere and you will “magically wake up in bed.
