Breakfast is Served

Today, MIL has a scheduled general check up in Manila and hubby's niece is set to take an entrance exam in one of the schools there so I filed for a leave so I can look after Johan.

Just like every weekend and some other days when I don't have to go to work, I exerted a little effort this morning to prepare Johan's breakfast.

I would have made him more of those rainbow pancakes but we ran out of pancake mix. When I looked at what we have left in stock, I thought why not make french toast for the kid. And make I did!

Loaf of bread, Condensed Milk, Egg and Butter

Making French Toast is very easy. All you really need are the ingredients on the photo, beat the egg in a bowl, put in 1/3 cup of condensed milk, 1/4 cup water and mix everything together. Dip both sides of slices of bread in the mixture while heating butter in a pan. Fry both sides in butter until golden brown.

When the toasts were done, I rinsed the pan and cooked scrambled eggs and hotdogs at the same time. Good thing our pan is big enough.

I then put everything together in Johan's plate, added a bottle of Nestle Probiotic Drink and presented it to the little boy.

Upon seeing his plate the little boy shouted, "Wow!", quickly took the plate from me and ate with a lot of enthusiasm. The little boy is happy and so am I.

Good morning!

An Early Start

Today's a Sunday and I woke up a little earlier than usual. I opened my eyes and glanced at the clock where it says it's just 6 in the morning. I felt my tummy gurgling, "Baby's hungry", I thought. I can't find it in my heart to wake up the peacefully sleeping husband beside me so I got up, brushed my teeth, splashed water on my face and went outside to buy myself (and little one) some hot pandesal from a nearby bakery. 

Mornings are my favorite time of the day. The air is still fresh and cool, people seem to be in still happy moods after a good night's sleep. When I got back to the house - I made myself a cup of hot chocolate, I beat some eggs, sliced a tomato and cooked scrambled eggs, fried a few slices of Luncheon Meat, sliced a small slab of butter and placed everything on a plate then went upstairs to enjoy my breakfast while reading through some new posts on my blog roll. 

After an hour or so, Mommy and baby now have full, satisfied tummies - feeling a little bit sleepy. It's a Sunday, anyway, one good excuse to go back beneath the sheets and return to dreamland. 

Happy morning, everyone!
