Day 7 - Day 14 7-in-1

Wow!!!1 That's like a total 7 days AWOL!!! hahahaha... I was busy... very very busy...  and i am sorry i fall short of my own challenge.  Yet, this will not be an excuse for me not to craft or cook.

 Welcome to my home... The whole set-up cost less that RM40.00.  Things are cheap if you know where to hunt for them.
  

Family reunion dinner @MIL .  This is Ms Flies Swatter.. she has been assigned to make sure that all dishes are 'clean' and not fly-polluted.  All the dishes are home-cooked.
Ms Flies-Swatter in action.
Dish: Roasted pork belly... I am rather satisfied with the result of this dish.  Got the meat at 4am..yupe AM and it took 1hr 15 minutes to roast.  The skin is crunchy and the meat tender and succulent too. Yum..yum..
This is the traditional Kwang Ning "sour duck" dish .  Cooked with lots of leek, ginger and fermented beans.  Very appetising.  ♥ it!!
Spring rolls.. lean meat , water chestnuts, prawn .. my SIL made this dish.  Her specialty.
Broccoli with abalone and top shell. 
This one is my favourite for the night.  "drunken prawns" .  Absolutely delicious.
Mixed vege
and finally The Soup..



Humble dishes .... the time spent was wonderfully and MIL was very very happy and pleased that night.  After a few shots of 'drink' around the table, she brought us down the memory lane with hilarious stories of my dear hubby.  It brought tears to her eyes and wide smiles to my 3 children... aha!! so Daddy was like this and that during his childhood.

 A time to remember. A time to cherish.

CNY First Day was hectic too.  Roast lamb leg, potato salad, roast pork to be prepared and cooked for lunch at my mum's place.  We are expecting 5 families for lunch and after breakfast at MIL's place, we took off to mum's.  I am sorry there are no pictures.  Too caught up with the cooking....

Looking back, i could not help but realised that we need to spend more time with our loved ones especially our aged parents.  We had a good time together and looked forward to more.
