Have your kids been journaling/doodling more during the past hazy week? This is a second exercise book I wrapped with brown paper and simply decorated with a checkered floppy disk label.

hello … and a note

Hi, glad you found my site where I write mostly about my bread recipes + other things I do daily to slow down a little and pare down a lot, especially on food waste and single-use plastics. After all, we only have one earth, let’s be nice to it.

I post a mixture of my own photos and sometimes images that I really like by others, giving proper credits. Email me at {monoandco} at gmail dot com if you like me to remove the post with your image.

Thanks for stopping by.
Sandra

The Ippudo plant based ramen takeaway serving size appeared smaller than its photo on the menu. I decided to top up by adding two of my favourite mushrooms; eryngii and enoki. I pan seared eryngii for better taste. Do you "zhng" your dapao food like this too? 😅

Do you find Mala fried noodles are sometimes cooked with too much salt/seasonings/oil? I re-cook this vegetarian takeaway by adding more ingredients (green vegetables and glass noodles) and some water to "upsize" it. Feeds one more person, and the taste is now just nice. My husband says it's a clever way to save money too!

Have been reusing these three plastic bowls from an earlier last minute takeout meal. The size is perfect and they can be stacked for easy carry around when empty. Reusable containers should have such useful feature!

Heightened Alert Meals Day 1:

It's only been a few weeks since dining-in was allowed but we are now back to the dapao process all over again. Here's what I have been enjoying in the past few weeks when dining-in was still allowed

Make not-so-instant noodles by adding carrot slices, cauliflower, bean sprouts and tau pok. I like the curry paste that comes with this brand of instant noodles, more authentic than the powder kind.

I usually prepare Japanese curry with just onions, potatoes and carrots. Today, I added broccolis, cabbage shreds and oh-so-delicious plant balls from @ikeasingapore too. I have been homecooking less, so I stock up more hardy vegetables and frozen food instead of leafy perishables like spinach. Didn't want my unpredictable schedule to cause food wastage at home. Dry food like mushrooms, fungus and beans are another favourite now too!

An easy #eggfree, #dairyfree waffle recipe that can be prepared in 10 minutes! Makes one and half belgium waffles.

Could not bear to recycle/discard these glass milk pudding jars from @parisbaguette_sg so I reuse them for propagating sweet basil plant cuttings. After a long period of neglect, my 8 pots of basil plants are looking like a messy patch. After a ruthless pruning, I have a bowl-ful of basil leaves and plenty of cuttings. The leaves went into our carbonara pasta lunch while the cuttings sit comfortably in the jars filled with water. It will take at least one week for roots to grow. I will then transfer them to soil.
