First deserving pat on my back

I was stressed out the whole of last week!! Supposed to implement a new, replacement service in a week's time at work but it simply is not ready to face the world. Finally good news towards the end of last week - with some plans changed, the service don't have to die-die go-live despite all the undesirable issues and possible flaws if it's launched. But that only means I've burdened myself with more work to come out with an interim process, but I think it's the right thing to do.

So, I managed to put some office work aside, instead of a totally burnt weekend - and oh I'm glad. I've always wanted to challenge myself to prepare my favourite black pepper crab - and I DID, well, with flying colours! (*pat). And not just only that, I also single-handedly prepared baked rice for SonZ who is not at all keen to try the crab (but wanted soft-shell crab instead), and sardine puffs.

Restaurant-standard Black Pepper Crabs (serious!)
SonS, despite the spiciness, and continuously drowning himself with water, kept asking for more.

Oh, who would imagine this day I could actually whipped a crab dish so nice!!

Sardine Puffs (nice too!)
Half of what I've prepared end up in SonZ's stomach before it is officially served!

Well, after the nice dinner came the not so nice part. With no helpers, both SO and me have to washed up. *sigh*
