Baby 4 – 1st-trimester update

Grace did the first trimester scan at KKH on 26 April 2013 but YowCH had urgent serious meetings which cannot be excused and thus missed the scan. We thank God the baby is well, and we have some new ultrasounds posted.

Here is the page for Baby 4.

Fujifilm F550EXR camera

We bought a second-hand Fujifilm F550EXR pocket camera from a Clubsnap guy to replace the workhorse F200EXR which has sensor or electronic failure just recently on 21 April 2013. The F200 was bought on 4 Oct 2009 and in 3.5 years, took about 38000 shots. But we’ll also get a replacement F200, too, as our underwater case is only for this model.

The F550 is not the best thing in the market now, but it comes with GPS, and at release, was selling at $420.00. This second-hand unit is in super good condition, as the previous owner said that it was used only 5 times and took a few hundred photos only.

Pig’s brain soup

Well, here it is, pig’s brain soup (猪脑汤), lovingly made by YowCH (big thanks to Grace’s mum for buying the brain and cleaning it).

Ingredients:
1 or 2 pig’s brain, all veins carefully removed.
Slices of ginger.
Vegetable (Chinese mint, spinach, or any other vege for soup)
Pinch of salt.
Dash of sugar.
1 or 2 eggs (as option for those who eat not the delicious brains)

Method (10 mins total):
Boil water, dump in ginger slices and simmer for 2 minutes, add the brains.
When water boils, add vegetables and simmer until vege is soft.
Add salt and sugar to taste, stir and crack eggs into soup.
Boil for 2 minutes, serve while hot.

YowCH has been eating this since young, this is Grace’s second round (first round was some 10-plus years ago in some restaurant in South Bridge Road), Esther likes it (“creamy like durians”), Davids hates it and Joseph is OK.
