I miss swimming, I miss basketball, I miss this, I miss that!

That was mentioned by my eldest son countless in a day. And everytime with my same reply, "Soon son, soon..."

In order to kill boredom of this active boy, I asked him to redo his previous 'project' from his teacher - make ham sandwich breakfast for yourself. He accepted the challenge since the previous time was more of me helping him to make. It was an easy project. Basically just cut off the bread's skin, place the ham and cheese on the slices of bread, use fork to seal the side with eggwash, then pan fry using butter. We did not have ham, so we use luncheon meat, the SPAM. It helped him to refocus back on the joy of doing the mundane when staying at home for awhile.

At least he felt accomplished making this special breakfast for himself. I moved on to make cheese egg sandwich for the younger one.

Usually, on Saturday, we would make a trip yo aunt's house for lunch while visiting her also since she stays alone, but not during this time. We miss our aunt's food especially her baked chicken pie. There was once (just before our country's MCO time), she suddenly called us to ask to drop by her house to pick up a tray of chicken pie she made for us. She made it the night before, so I needed to put into the oven to bake for another 30 minutes for the pastry to be fully cooked.

Put into oven to bake for 30 minutes

Really yummy chicken pie, she made the best pastry from scratch, and the chicken filling she added some ham, and she even added some mashed potatoes inside. So so yum! I missed her cooking!!!
