Experiments

The past few months have been me, the oven, and the kitchen. Been experimenting with food that can be done in the oven. No frying whatsoever.

First up is the Hong Kong styled egg tarts, which ended up more like the Rasa Malaysia Portugese egg tarts. No complaints there. I thought it tasted better sweeter and with a dash of Benedictine D.O.M. which I like to use in every piece of my work from cheesecakes to tiramisu.

Next up was the beef lasagne. How this came about was when mom and I were talking about Garfield and how he likes lasagne so much. So I thought it would be a lasagne weekend. Ended up that dad didn't like the taco seasoning used in lasagne, and mom didn't like the cheese so much. What do you expect of a lasagne - d.u.hhhh...
I myself, frankly loved it and didnt realise it is so easy to make! So will definitely make it again for myself. Note* to meself ONLY.

6 years and still going strong

August 12 marks the 6th year Boi and I got together. Still going strong.

It was a good celebration as our families got together and had a sumptuous dinner dad cooked. The house was neat thanks to mom....hehe... (the greatness of parents)
The below was the menu in basic description:

• Aussie prawns with bok choy
• Free-range kidney with capsicums
• Herbal free-range chicken
• Curry lamb
• Crackling pork (tapau from Joyful restaurant) with cranberry & plum sauce
  
• Aunty Doreen's Umai
• Baked nectarine with French Vanilla ice-cream and homemade butterscotch sauce topping for dessert.

The white rose for the 6th year, and chocolate with truffles to sweeten me up. :) Love you Boi~

When it comes to surprises, I think I can see through Boi quite well after all these years... :)

What happened yesterday - I was feeling abit tired and decided not to go for badminton practice + dad's arm is not mint so I didn't want dad to drive me there. Boi went home after dropping me off at my place early evening, only to turn back and said he will take me to badminton.

Suspicion no.1* Boi never insisted on me going for badminton if I said I want to rest. I suggested we bum around instead, and he said he thinks I should go for badminton. Suspicion no.2* Reject my suggestion of spending time together???

Out comes the truth in the car on the way to St. Thom - ArcSaber 9!

Immediately I perked up, and I don't seem to be so tired afterall and hey, maybe badminton is not a bad idea ~ It is bright pink and white, with a white grip (courtesy of MH) and thanks to B & YT, it was restrung with black strings as well. It is absolutely gurrrrrrrlllyyy and I felt it has always been MINE.

It is the most practical anniversary gift ever. Totally what I need....and want.
Yay~ thanx loads BoiBoi ~ muax.
