Little Inbox writes: I just realized that I've not cook for more than 2 weeks. Apart from a small nose surgery that I had about 2 weeks ago, my kitchen is currently under renovation. The window, the compartment, the kitchen top, the concealed wiring, the wall painting were done except the built in kitchen cabinet. So, at this moment, still no home cooking yet until everything is done. I told myself be patient and treat it as a long break. :)Just before the kitchen renovation, I cook this minced meat noodle to clear the stock in my fridge. I saw quite a number of ...

Little Inbox writes: I bought a huge pumpkin at a very low cost, so I decided to give myself a sweet treat. Here's my second batch of muffin hot from the oven. I baked a total of 18 mini muffins. When the mini muffin were taken straight out from the oven, it tasted so soft and moist, but it turned harder the next day. Did I over mix the dry and moist ingredients? Too little butter? Anyone can help me on this? ...

Little Inbox writes: Besides making arrowhead into crispy chips, most Chinese especially the Cantonese like to steam it with Chinese sausage. Since I have some arrowheads in the fridge, I would love to give it a try. Otherwise, I will have to wait for another year until the next season for arrowheads. I heard from my friends that arrowhead is "windy" so I added some grated ginger and Chinese wine. Not sure if it makes the dish tastier or worse. If you like the original flavor, just omit the grated ginger, garlic and Chinese wine. Personally, I don't like the arrowhead cooking in this way....

Also, one side of the ...
