CurrY DAy

Following my current craze over this Korean Drama, Jewel In the Palace

I took up my mum's offer to help her cook Mixed Vege Curry!
Apparently, my mum whines that she's so tired and since she helped me with my laundry... I gotta help her with cooking...Fine...

All these while, I only helped me mum watched the fire while the curry is simmering or fry the curry paste while she chit chat on phone. Never have I cooked any curry all by myself, of course I made my mum promised she will coach me and she goes "ah la ah la"...but she bluff me:(

*sighz*

I really din know when to add coconut milk or when to add water and when to add the vege to fry....All the while she was chatting away or nuaing in bed *hmpfz* but nevertheless.... I still managed something out!

TADA!!

1st attempt at  Curry

hmm does it looks edible??

anyway the curry is awaiting for my bro & mum's tasting later see how it goes ba :D

TuesDAy

After bidding goodbyes with my 2 galfriends, i had this sudden urge/desire to try my tiramisu recipe that i gotten from an intern few mths back. THus, i gotten off @ carrefour@PS to buy the mascorpone cheese (freaking ex @ $10 per tub which is 500g oni), sour cream & lady's fingers (not the green vege, the biscuits!)

got home had a quick dinner n started on making. Making tiramisu is actualli pretty fun n easy (cos no need to bake n watch the fire) :D but in creaming the cream part...i realise my cheese mix wasn't firm enuff ( cos i replaced whipped cream with sour cream) thus, i flew dwnstairs to buy. Utter horror of the night.....the shops opp my blk dun sell any cream at all! WTH arGhz. thus, i got to endure stares n walked all the way to NTUC to buy 2 pkts of cream.... *applause* for my effort

went back home n finish with my tira. Lovely but they ain't got any sellable image so no photos... :P *SorrYz*
