: : The sodium spotcheck : :

Well, it looks like cooking for low-sodium diets isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

There are a lot of Malaysian Food Products that totally excludes sodium from the content list. So, we know the reason for Malaysia’s number #1 killer, eh? 🙂

Although with A1, I think they may have done a copy and paste of their product to list them all as having less than 2400mg of sodium, from the soup mix to the roast chicken mix to etc.

Going shopping today and see what I can pack for lunch sandwich over the next few days and plan my next week’s meal.

: : Making Lunches Part I : :

Well, let’s just say that I got a big wakeup call to life. So, time to make lunches again. And hunting around for interesting recipes for lunch sure isn’t that easy. Especially when one is looking for salt content in food. That’s when one realises that the Malaysian Food Companies exclude them out most of the time. Only the imported goods from USA have them. Oh well.

Will have to do more planning for this endeavour. Biggest one yet. 🙂

: : Homemade Gluhwein : :

Updated with pictures :

The frog is thirsty and the wine is heated up with some herbs and lemon rings. 🙂 Yummy! Needed some sugar added in as well. 🙂

My friendly German colleague invited me to dinner at her house after taking me to a trip to a famous castle in Thueringia called Wartburg Castle. Her husband and only son join us. It was a nice trip and very breathtaking. Like the olden days, we climb up a hill to get there.

After the trip, we headed to her home and she made some Gluhwein for me. Yum! It’s basically heated red wine with some lemon juice and spices in it. Very nice after a cold day.

Trying to get the pictures up on a slow line is a pain. Will get it up later. Time for bed! Jetlag, urgh.

Live to Eat or Eat to Live? That is the question.
