Where family is, is where you’ll find me.
Although a great friend of mine says I have an inability to sit still, I have come to accept the fact that I’m essentially a nester.
Any creative streak I have, I think it must be from my Dad. My brothers are all for making things on our own too. My mom is a great supporter of anything we do and she makes home a great place to make new things (or old things new). She makes great popiahs (a Singaporean version of the spring roll).
A family that makes together, stays together.
Here’s what we make:
 |
| My second brother made MUFFINS! Yes, english muffins, like those in the MacDonalds Breakfast Meal |
 |
| Where did my muffins go? Awwww?! NO! |
 |
| My Dad’s creations – Handmade fishing rods! He fishes too & so catches our dinner 🙂 |
 |
| My mom makes POPIAH. Here she is preparing – plucking the roots off the beansprouts. |
Â
 |
| And after a day of chopping, it’s one more day of cooking & stirring pots & pots of food… |
 |
| Add sweet sauce, crushed peanuts, lettuce, beansprouts, turnip, carrots, egg, prawn, crab …. and wait for it… |
 |
| The crushed salted fish! (well, actually I’m not quite sure what fish it is but it makes all the difference!) |
 |
| One makes for a healthy snack. Two for a lunch done just right. Three for a feast! |
 |
| And where does all that chopped waste go? |
 |
|
As compost for the little avocado plant my youngest brotherÂ
patiently cultivated from a seed in a glass of water
|
And there’s me of course, the scary sister who makes a a good deal of fuss, and all the other hits & misses in my online shop – shupg.
Not forgetting of course the little furball that makes us all go “awwww”.
