Thriving in Old Age: Simple Care Strategies

When we were kids, it wasn’t easy for our parents to watch us grow up and transition into independent adults. Now watching our parents grow older is never easy too, especially when memory begins to fade. Over the past few years, particularly since the COVID period, I started noticing small changes in my mum as time goes by. At first, it was forgetfulness. Then it began to hit hard with repetition, confusion, and moments that felt unfamiliar. Brought them out to the mall for a walk. What makes it harder is that my dad is her primary caregiver, managing almost everything at home while the rest of us live separately. Like many families, we’re learning as we go, figuring out how to support both of them in ways that are practical, sustainable, and compassionate. Please don't pretend you haven't been frustrated at all during this process. We all know how hard it's been. The more you care, the more it gets into you. So, are you really okay? If you’re in a similar situation, here a...

Culinary | OREO No Bake Dessert by JELLO

Bought 2 boxes of the pre-mix before our hse-warming and only now I decided to do it. Picked up the courage because I was afraid that such simple no-bake recipe I also can't manage then I'm totally useless bum. But surprisingly, I can. Okay lah. Because I did no bake cheesecake before but still no confidence. Quite happy now.  



So I bought this box of JELLO Oreo No Bake Dessert at Cold Storage. Can't be more happy to buy all these baking stuff there. Because is no bake recipe thus that time before hse-warming I bought it as I don't have an oven and if I wanna bake, I have to use my Philips Airfryer.

Inside the box, you can find the Crust mix, Filling mix and Oreo cookies crumbs. And all you need is butter and milk. Just like any cheesecake recipe.

So my procrastination starts here. I couldn't figure out how much is 4 tbsps of butter and 1 1/3 cup of milk. Today I finally went to google how much in grams. This is definitely god send. I found 1 whole list of measurement from a blog. So thankful for that. 

So now I can tell you:

4 tbsp of butter = 56g
1 1/3 cup of milk = 330ml

Let me know if this is not accurate. Oops...



I used SCS Unsalted butter (227g). How I get 56g of butter is by dividing into 4 portions. Simple as that. Get it melted at high heat for 1 min on microwave. 


Ta-daaa.... Here's how it looks after mixing with melted butter. Why look more like caviar? And then I put it to refrigerate for 15 mins (adopting the method from Betty Crocker's No Bake Cheesecake) and proceed to do the filling.



I used HL Milk with the Filling mix. Follow the instructions closely and woohoo... I did a good job like how I manage for other cheesecakes. Feeling good by now.



After beating, I mix half a pack of cookie crumbs with the mixture. Taste sweet. And pour it into the base which I have put in fridge for 15 mins.


Top it up with the balance cookie crumbs and refrigerate for a day before having it. Suppose to freeze it but probably I will get Oreo ice cream cake instead so I decided to just chill it. Probably I will change my mind later. Lets see how.

1 day later...



The appearance doesn't look very nice but then finally, it is up! Time to attack the whole cake. Sweet. 

Hope you enjoy reading this post. Kthxbye.
