Milestone: Using chopsticks

First of all, I must arrange my pair of chopsticks
(look at my concentration!)

Then pick up the noodles quickly

Followed by lots of slurping

Ma Ma, Hen Hao Chi! 
(Mummy, it's very delicious in mandarin)

So pleased with myself :o)
For the record, I am 23 months + 2 weeks old.
Here's a video of it all

Achar

Today I am mummy’s little helper
I am helping mummy to make Achar - a sweet, sour and spicy vegetables pickle.

Mummy dehydrates the carrots, cucumbers and cabbages (to make them crunchy) then cooks them in a spicy paste (Ah Mah’s special recipe) followed by lots of rice vinegar, sugar and grounded peanuts.


Papa will be very delighted to see this as he’s a big fan of Ah Mah’s achar
