stir-fried veges & mash

One of my tasks during this summer is to feed myself with healthy food and stir-fried vegetables in oyster sauce with rice or mash always seem simple and nutritional.

I made this the other day; mash was not creamy enough.

 

Pan-fry bacon and garlic first.

Then, add boiled cabbage earlier in water to the pan.

 

potatoes + butter + milk + cream = creamy mash

(guess what is the butter among the cubes in the bowl?)

 I didn't have cream at the moment, so used only butter and milk. Nevertheless, the mash was amazingly creamy!

Then, it's time to enjoy mash and stir-fried bacon & cabbage.

 

The oyster sauce I recently purchased. 

I used to buy the one of 'Lee Kum Kee', but the Coles didn't have that one.

french toast & marmalade jam

Even though I like trying to use varying culinary skills, I barely cook for myself during weekdays because of the lack of time to indulge myself in cooking - rather I prefer to spend that cooking time with reading my textbooks. lol Then, weekend should be the right time for me to feed myself well. Oh, yes, I cooked rump steak with caesar salad myself to celebrate my first tax return last night!

French toast is one of my favourite weekend breakfast menu for it is a good chance to rescue leftover bread which have been dry during the week. Actually I eat oat porridge for my daily breakfast, but I can't obviously have it every morning for seven days even if it is good for health.

Yes, I made french toast this morning and spoiled my toast with the marmalade jam I got from ALDI yesterday. The picture is the last piece of the breakfast and I enjoyed a lot. Then, I realise white bread is always nice for french toast as it gives soft texture when soaked in milk rather than multigrain bread I used to use.
