Imperfect Shots

the kids

Last week I tried to get a picture of the kids to make  a cover photo for this year’s Christmas card. Try as I might it was simply really difficult to get all of their attention at the same time.

I didn’t lug my DSLR out and had to make do with my HTC camera phone. The shutter speed is  a tad too slow for my liking and this was the best shot I got that morning when we were were out at the airport for breakfast. I guess I will have to try again this week or just  rely on creative photography using photoshop to make the Christmas card.

Have you done your Christmas card yet?

ITADAKIMASU(いただきます)- Let’s Eat Up

Chawamushi

My kids love Japanese Food and  were thrilled with the fusion cuisine that was served for dinner yesterday.

Dinner

They had cod fish, steamed mixed vegetables, garlic mash potato, chawamushi and jelly with fruits.  It was great seeing them diving into their dinner once it was served. They only took 1/2 the time they normally took to complete dinner and they had extra telly time after dinner.

The meal took me about an hour to prepare and cook and the kids only took about 30 minutes to finish eating it. Dinner with the family was hassle free last night and I didn’t even have to bring out the Chocomisu which I had stored in the fridge to entice the kids to eat.

What have you been cooking for the kids lately?
