I went out for some groceries shopping on my own today to find stuff for Maryam's food. Got her a pack of asparagus at a reduced price, she is never introduced to this before. Also as usual other fruits and veges like the Chinese Gong pear, the green per, broccoli, orange sweet potatoes and potatoes. Also got her two pieces of salmon for about RM8. It says special price on the tag anyway. Was looking for some berries, namely blueberries but their shelves were empty. That well spells W.E.E.K.E.N.D. I still got a butternut squash that my mum bought for Maryam from Cameron Highlands, which has yet to be used.

Last week upon returning from kampong I speedily made pureed foods for Maryam. I am so delighted that she liked them very much. I added strawberries in them and so far she is a good fan of strawberries although when I tasted the final product that I made (I usually do) my heart went to palpitations. The first strawberry puree was too sour to taste and this time, too bland. But to my amazement and excitement Maryam apparently loves loves loves it. Oh and this time I added one kiwi too. Alhamdulillah she likes them all. Let me share with you what the concoction entail yeah.

Strawberries (1 box) + 1 kiwi fruit + apples (3 small golden delicious apples) + 1 gong pear + rice porridge

- this time I added quite a few scoops of rice porridge and I didn't blend it for too long in the food processor so that the texture isn't that watery and appears more chunky. Maryam's got 4 teeth now anyway!

Another recipe here for her morning meal this week:

Butternut squash + carrots + Japanese sweet potato + chicken

Her meal in kampong, which I exclusively prepared over there using the traditional kitchen stove, as opposed to electric steamer.

Butternut squash + purple sweet potato + potatoes + Fuji apple.

All the above came from Cameron Highlands, except the apple which was bought by my dad from a convenience store nearby.

P/s:

• I bought a pack of couscous the other day. Am looking for some lovely couscous recipes to begin with.
• I haven't introduced Maryam to beef yet!
• Does Maryam's keenness to strawberries have anything to do with the fact that she was born in the Europe? Huhu.
