Mashed potatoes Potatoes (peeled and cut into small dices like 1cm by 1cm, i used 4 potatoes for 4 adults and one baby) Some milk (I used baby formula milk for adult's portion coz my house have no fresh milk, baby's portion used breastmilk.. It all tasted the same.. hahaa.. around 50ml I think.. use agar-ation la..) Some butter (I used planta) Some salt and pepper for seasoning (Juz sprinkle on some la.. agar-ation also)
You boil the potatoes until soft, easily poke through by fork, thn drain and start mashing.. I got no potato masher at home, so I used to soup spoon with holes inside that people used for steamboat.. hahaa.. mash mash mash.. half way through until everything almosdt mashed, add the milk.. mash mash mash.. When milk have blended in, add butter.. (Don't add too much milk 1st incase becomes too runny coz butter will contribute to the liquidity also) Lastly add salt and pepper.. The more you mash, the finer and smoother it becomes lo.. Done!

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
