I've been busy at home again. Ever since the Covid cases keep surging uncontrollably for the past one month, we've decided to stop Maria our part-time helper from coming. My SILs from overseas have been very concerned as we do not know who Maria mingles with the moment she leaves our home and we have a highly vulnerable person at home. So I had to bite the bullet and break the news to Maria again. Since the first lockdown on 18 March last year, Maria had to stop working for us temporarily several times (for months during each lockdown). Thankfully Maria has been very understanding. She's been a gem to us for the last 9 years and I pray that Maria will be able to step into our home again soon.
Without Maria helping us, post-meal times are my kill joy. And it doesn't help that the two chefs in the house love baking and cooking. And I have to do most of the cleaning of the aftermath. Oh my poor hands!! 😓
This chicken satay and peanut/satay sauce were made from scratch by Sherilyn. They're delish but the kitchen post-cooking is my nightmare, every single day. Though she helps to clean up, it's pretty slipshod work and I still have to clean up after her.
