kitchen bug

Sometime a couple of weeks back, I decided to challenge myself in cooking healthy meals for five straight days. Unfortunately I failed!  Out of 5 I just made 2. On the other three days there were Chinese take away, attended a farewell party and I conveniently got sick. ;)

But seriously, after living in take away-s for a couple of months now, I can feel my body protesting indignantly. I feel sluggish, tired, bloated, sleepy, grumpy and weighty. Oh how I hate the scales! Thankfully Reg doesn't mind. In fact he relish to the idea of having pizza everyday (if he can get away with it!) So to be fair to him hence, the challenge decision of healthy eating.

So anyways, came the weekend the kitchen bug hits me and I sprung to make all appetiser, entree and dessert to make up on the lost three days.

Day 1

Day 2

Then fast forward to weekend..

appetiser (daw!)

entree

dessert

and extra to boot. (recipe from pepper.ph)

I may not be a good cook but I am eager-to-learn one.

PS

Seeing what I made I kind of wonder about the "healthy" side of the plan, I'm not sure now. haha

I've only been to car boot once. And it was sans Reg. So for almost two weeks we'd planned this morning's trip. We agreed to spend our weekend for a good ol' summer car boot sale. The place was perfect big enough for people to go around with plenty of leg room to spare; and small enough to scan the whole place and see what cars were left un-visited.

Car boot is like Marmite. Either you like it or you don't. Bits from fellow hunters this morning's adventure ranges from ".. all this junk." to ".. priceless things." and "..found a gem." But all in all,  it was a good day, with a good weather and plenty of good bargains.

I didn't do the car boot any justice with my photos, I was obligingly distracted that I just went on.

              

happy bunny!

PS This Car Boot is a Charity Fund Raising.

PPS and we missed on a good pair of breakfast chair. =(

Pick-up-ers

Pick-up-ers

Have you ever had a week that goes on forever? Where Friday seems to be ages from Wednesday. And weekend is the only thing that will keep you sane. Sleep doesn't last very long and days seems to stretch.

Yep, that's right. That exactly the kind of week I had.

However thanks to these random pick-up-ers I made it through.


1. I have been harbouring these dream of having fresh flowers on my place. For the longest time. Now let it begin.

2. Coffee. Found this stuff on a supermarket. Nowhere will I let it go. Interesting, right? Coffee bag!

3. I've always wanted to have these containers. It gives me country chic feel.

4. I've decided to challenge myself. I will try to cook five days straight for a decent meal. Hmm, well.. As I said a challenge.

5. Lastly, twister fries is everywhere in twitter. It made me crave so bad (which doesn't help on a bad week) that I had to do something about it. So here's my take. Not exactly right but never mind.
