Food.....

So much food leftover from yesterday's dinner & lunch (chicken soup, mui cai {a vege cook with 3-layered pork.....what's the proper name for this.....erh....}, deep fried tau pok stuffed with minced meat) that we ate them during lunch. But still, the plate of black peppered crab was only consumed by Aprel just before dinner.

What did i teach Aprel to cook today? Steam Prawns, Spinach with prawns (hahaha, better check my cholesterol level), Salted vege soup. Prepared fish for frying but decided to keep for tmr coz it seemed too much stuff to finish. Isaac loved the prawns.... it was big, fat and juicy and tasty... YEAH! The presentation was really good too...oops, didnt take a pic, nah, nvm. I positioned the prawns in alternating direction and sprinkled garlic at the centre and ginger at the two sides. It looked pretty neat and palatable.....hee hee.

Oh boy, i think i smell like a prawn now after eating 5 for dinner. 3 prawns from the steamboat yesterday and that makes 8! Need to break away from the leggy ones to stay healthy.

Talking about healthy, we did our health check at Angela's place yesterday..... using her blood pressure machine. I couldnt believe my eyes when i see my reading.....110/76!!!! For those weeks before my hospitalisation, it had been high like 150/90, 160/100 or even 160/110.

"Thank You, Lord for restoring the reading to normal after the initial scare."

Guess my previous medication (only took for 2 weeks) gave the blood pressure increase (being a known side effect of the drug). Plus another painkiller my doc prescribed also has incidence of high reading of which i have stopped taking now. Thank God this episode is now over for me BUT i need to work on my pulse rate..... super fast..... at 104.......i wonder why..........

and I definitely have to see doc for my high reading lah. Hopefully my dosage remains. I really drag taking medicine and yet have been on med since mid 30s....
