Fish Without the Chips

I decided to cook something different tonight instead of the traditional Chinese meal. With hubby away on business trip, it didn't make sense to cook so many dishes . Something simple and easy - lightly battered fish fillet, fresh tomatoes, boiled long beans, carrots and potatoes. And as the appetiser, Justin's favourite apple & raisin salad mixed in low fat mayonnaise and a tinge of lemon.

Justin was excited when I told him what was for dinner. He even offered to help make the apple and raisin salad. He came in several times to the kitchen just to make sure that I didn't start without him. It was great having extra hands in the kitchen. While Justin was tossing and turning the apple bits and raisins, Jonathan was happily enjoying his raisins.

During dinner, Justin gobbled his dinner in 30 minutes. He usually takes 45 to 60 minutes (with constant reminders to take his next bite, sit on his chair, chew his food, etc) but today he kept putting food in his mouth.

Amazing! Makes me wonder if I should change my dinner menu .... (*chuckle*)

Greetings from Tokyo!

I am so glad that my mother-in-law is in Taipei to take care of Jonathan while the three of us are in Tokyo for a 'look see' trip.

This is day 3. We have visited 7 schools so far, Justin went for an interview with the headmaster of one of our chosen schools today. He passed the interview, thank goodness. But as this is a popular school, we have to be put on waiting list until vacancies are available. Next Monday, he will have to go through another interview at another school.

Today was mainly apartment viewing. Decisions, decisions, decisions on how much to compromise between proximity to schools, work place, supermarkets, etc. Hopefully the next few day's viewing will give better results.
