Sandwich roll with sausage and seaweed

Jo Ee had been asking me to buy her some sausage so that she can prepare us with the new recipe of sandwich that she had learnt in school. Since i was quite reluctant to buy the usual meat sausage from the store, i have finally got some vegetarian sausage from a frozen food shop after many attemptsof searching hi-and-lo on it's supplier.
Jo Ee say this is what we will need:
1. Some bread, with its edges cut off
2. Seaweed, cut into rectangle or square
3. Sausages(in this case vegetarian ones), cut into either halves
4. Mayonaise (I hv tried to get the one without milk and/or egg so that Jo Von can enjoy it as much as we do)

Then, to make Mummy has a cleared picture on how to cut the bread and seaweed, Jo Ee draw it at on a piece of paper, to tell the proportion of each dimension for each ingredient.
(This may look a bit blur because it was a bit out of light)



Steps:
1. First you cut the bread in rectangular shape, and sausage into halves, like this.


2. Then you roll the sausage with the bread, like this:
(Note: this little hands belong to Jo Ee)


3. after that, you prepare the seaweed by cutting it into longer rectangular shape, because you are going to use this to wrap the bread.


4.Ta da...do you see this long strip of seaweed? This....you will spread some mayonaise on it, so that it will stick nicely on the bread when you roll it.


5. Hmmm..... Jo Ee is rolling it slowly with lots of patience.


6. At last, these are all the sandwich roll with sausage and seaweed that is done with much love.... Enjoy!!


Mummy, Daddy and JoVon were all asking for more and more!!

Attend ACIM

Attended ACIM at City Bayview today.
Was quite a fulfilling day as i get to meet a lot of people too.
Holly was one. A friend that was befriended during Rich People Poor People(RPPP) few months ago.
A good sharing by Holly! Thanks....
It was indeed a miracle baby to enter this circle. A pregnacy at 40s is certainly a miracle to anyone.You must be full of courage and love to be able to be with this baby.

To Holly and her friend who want to initiate breast feeding:
I certainly hope that breast feeding will come easy to you.
Breast feeding to me is another fulfilling 'task' to me. Not really a task though, because i feel like i didnt really have to put much effort on it.
It just come naturally.

Afterall, as a pumping mum at work, it is also a session of 'destress' for me.

Enjoy breast feeding as much as you can!
Actually just a few preparation on breast pumps,milk storage bottles,ice cooler bag, ice packs and then you can off you go already!
Just let the breast feeding flow come naturally.

And i certainly will keep you all updated on the next meeting of Penang Adventist Breast Feeding Support Group meeting.
