My youngest son is in his intestinal or abdominal complication again due to scar adhesion after surgery. We are still managing at home based on doctor's advice unless he vomits out blood or extremely a lot of green bile. Thank God by today day 4, he is better and tolerate more volume of tube-feeds. I am looking forward to him eating again. In between feeds, I quickly churned out every ounce of energy I had and cooked 4 dishes simultaneously. All easy cook ya in view of Jansen eating again. Phew! I did it!*

I cooked a mashed potatoes, a bolognese minced beef sauce, pumpkin soup and chrysanthemum tea.

1️⃣ Mashed potatoes

This one was the easiest, just boiled the potatoes till soft, mashed them up with fork, added butter and salt and mixed well.

2️⃣ Chrysanthemum tea

I had one pack of chrysanthemum flowers for making chrysanthemum tea, good for this extremely hot weather. Just soaked the flowers in water enough to cover them and boiled for 20-30 minutes, for some sweetness, I added some rock sugar. Very refreshing drink!

3️⃣ Pumpkin soup

This is also another fast cook. Firstly, I stir fry some onions and garlic in butter. Then added the pumpkin and covered with water to boil till the pumpkin soften. I also added some black salt full of minerals and a dash of black pepper. Also a little bit mushroom seasoning. When the pumpkin soup was a little near to room temperature, I blended it up till smooth.

4️⃣ Bolognese sauce

I had some more leftover minced beef, so I stir fry the beef in butter and onion, followed by adding some tomato paste and some cooking cream to cream it up. This sauce can be used for making bread pizza or eating with the mashed potatoes. My eldest son chose to eat this with the mashed potato I made. And you know what, he said this was even more delicious than restaurant one. I was flattered. Haha.

Challenging days like this when it required me to tube-feed hourly could be exhausting. I tried to put on my selfless love and sacrifice, stay focus and away from social media so that I would not get distracted. I pray my youngest son, Jansen will be well soon and can be back to drinking and eating. All the food I cooked above were waiting for him. Weeee!!!

I am glad I did it!!!
