The Kitchen is Busy.

There are many things going on in my kitchen right now and it is just 2:45pm. I am actually cooking beef mechado (beef cubes cooked in diced tomatoes and soy sauce) for dinner. I do not have a pressure cooker or slow cooker so I have to do it in stove. I am boiling sweet corn cobs (3 pieces), my daughter loves it with a little butter. Choco banana cupcakes baking inside the oven. But this time it is my daughter who prepare it while I am dicing the tomatoes. I just supervise her a bit, checking the measurements and all but it is all her doing. It is very hot right now here. How is your weather? What are you doing?

Yummy! It has been a while since I have cooked Mechado. We had 17 C here and warm for winter. It feels like Spring already. At the moment, I am Mylotting.

The weather is kind of crazy, right. The first storm of the year already arrived here and it is just February

I was reading a book but decided to check and see if anyone on myLot was awake and talking. I haven't seen anyone in about an hour and a half here. Your dinner sounds like it will be good. I hope you enjoy it. It is 1 C outside but it is 1:25 am, so is dark out.

@rakski That's true but I'm usually up talking with you and other Filipinos as well as Malaysians all night long. But nobody was here tonight, for hours on end. It felt like a ghost town.

Your food sounds good. We had a warm 75 F degrees yesterday, but in the 50s today. Still cold weather to come before spring.
