where there's a meal, there's a way
My mum's been starting to get quite worried with me. ok, frankly, she has been all the while, but her hints on me not taking any effort in "practicing" to cook have been quite too frequent these days. with the possibility of me going to do the Bar in UK this September, my "disability" in fixing up a proper meal at home has been a growing concern. NO THANKS to sathya, of course. his constant complaining of my laziness in the kitchen and my disasterS in making curry maggie (i blush.. its true) hasn't been doing much help to my reputation in my mother's eyes..
but he didn't lie - I HATE COOKING. I do try, tho... and for the past few days, what with being homebound for the exams and all.. i mus admit i've been preparing my own dinners. of course, i did Maggie goreng for most of the time! (:S "i'm practicing, waaatt...") hey, a leopard cant change its spots overnight, right?!
but tonight... ah! i think i faired well, in mummy's book.
i bring you - mushroomsoupspagghetti @ "grandma soup"
*cringe* i suck in naming things.. but tht's the best i could get after crackin my head while eating the soup.. yes, EATING the soup. cos, in this tastey meal, you'll find spagghetti ("yarn") and cute lil button mushrooms ("buttons") snugly covered in mushroom soup (*ahem*campbells...).. yarn + buttons = knitting.. and most grandmas knit one point in their life... so Grandma Soup. [cook time : 10 minutes]
haha!!
verdict : it tastes better then it looks.. to be honest, it's very very nice....! if i may say so myself.
i can cook!
ps: more easy recipes needed or i'll get sooooo phat by the end of this exam month

a feast fit for a queen
Mother's day treat at Barney's for my mummy
Went back home for the weekend to spend time with mummy. Sham and i insisted on her not cooking, and planned a girls night out - just us girls. good thing they accept watches in exchange for cash that night at Barney's... first time buying mum dinner, for me. the look on her face when i stood up to pay was.. priceless.. *brag brag brag*
i craved for spaghetti..
my sis just had to make mum work that night.. she just had to -_-"

side note : i remember mum pointing out the baked beans on Sham's plate. I never noticed it, but she's right - aren't baked beans for breakfast (well, not really)? But why did they serve baked beans? easy to prepare? for it wasn't even that tastey.. but what else could they substitute it for? It did look kind of measley on the plate...
note to others - if presentation is your concern, baked beans, not that appealing to serve for dinner.
but the chicken chop? MmmMmm.. thanks sham for not finishing your dinner.
