Japanese curry by Zojirushi food jar

wheeee received my 750ml food jar from Mumbies Malaysia just before school reopen. thanks to the team, for willing to bear half of the shipping fee. may buy another one.. for my mum. need to convert her to be food jar user too XD

bought it at the thought of preparing own dinner, so that won't be always mcd kfc like last two sem ==

wanted to try out japanese curry before this new food jar of mine reached me..

so when i had the time to do marketing after i received this food jar, i quickly went to supermarket to get all the things i wanted to :P *semangat chin*

Japanese curry powder for the laziest person of all.. it's so convenient that they are in sachets.. unlike those boxes one, must be refrigerated once opened. and is just nice for one or two people portion. one full sachet makes 550ml of curry. since i have the big food jar so i just used all up. anything that requires no refrigerator after opening is good for me.

and the gluten free penne. I'm not allergic to gluten, just buy for the sake of "macam healthy nia" XD

the japanese mushrooms.

since it's for dinner, i started preparation at 2+, didnt open until before class, that's 6+.
penne is the hardest of all. so warmed my 360ml food jar with penne for few minutes, while i was preparing to dump in the chikuwa, tomato, japanese momen tofu, japanese mushroom and the curry powder into the big food jar, these are the things that dont require preheat. just briefly warmed food jar before dumping all in. after having done those, then i transferred the penne into the big food jar, filled in water, closed lid and waited till i reached uni and cleaned up myself :P

turned out to be not-too-bad :D not salty. should add salt next time.

without rice, i could only clear of the ingredients and poured the remaining soup away =.=
just that...... I WONDER HOW ON EARTH DID THE PENNE MELT!!!!!!!! beats me =.= caused me not being able to eat penne... =.=

the portions of the ingredients i dumped in are all by guessing.
tomato - halved *perhaps can add one full one next time? or 3/4*
japanese momen tofu - half a normal box *just nice*
japanese mushrooms - quarter of a box *can add more =)*
chikuwa - one n half stick i think? *just nice*
penne - by visual *can add more but cannot simmer for hrs together with the mixed veggie curry, add in when all are done*
water - i added between 600ml-700ml *should reduce next time. end product is slightly too watery*

**it's not my first time using the food jar. been using the 360ml one for like two three mths. so all the portions of the ingredients for the 750ml food jar i only "agak agak". coz kind of like quite familiar with the food jars.

in all, kind of liken the mixed veggies curry :P too bad dunno how to simmer rice yet.

back to teaching

took me a good five days to outline the whole lesson.

five days!!!!!!

seriously if not by God i dont think i can do this lo...

we do have teaching materials, but i somehow find it not so user friendly to me.

oh, was allocated to teach primary school kids since last month. i actually stopped sunday school teachings for like two mths or so. the assistant teacher of my week for preschool able to teach by herself liao..
primary school and preschool really differ a real lot!!
used to be able to prepare the lesson for preschool only during the train ride from home to church =.=
but now....
i still feel unconfident with the flow =.=!!
and to work with assistants together is different from working alone.
used to tackle the children on art and craft session for Saturday's services alone. it's like, so long i have a theme in mind, i can do magic.
but now working with assistants together, teaching according to the theme from the teaching materials, i still have to outline the flow and brief and share with the assistants.. is a bit time consuming la..

as of now.. can only pray hard that no hiccups on Sunday /_\

i miss preschool sessions!!!! so lovey dovey there...
sit-in last week's session, to learn how to manage primary school kids from a sister whom i learned to start of my preschool servings from.. in between, two went out of hand and interrupted the preschool class. i lost control and just yelled at them. my godson's mother was serving at preschool that day. after the sessions ended, before teachers' meeting, she was very surprised and said, "wah sarah! this was the first time i saw you being so fierce!!" and i =.= =.= =.= XDDD

i really really miss preschool sessions. so lovey dovey, so easy. know i have to break camp and advance la.. somehow i do learn something from the primary school kids too.

aihhhh
