It’s been me & my tomato for company this week! Finishing up some custom orders. My embroidery has gotten a lot better which made me happy but a lil looney. So after the last one is done, i’m gonna start drawing. I haven’t drawn in a very long while and it’s terrible because i used to love it so much. I remember a time when i was struggling and in between schools, i didn’t want to do anything but hide in my room and draw. And i went on to tell my dad i wanted to leave school (junior college) but didn’t know where to go from there. All i had was my drawings and me wanting to draw. So I ended up in design school.
I suck this week tho, with my two photos for show. We’ve finished the entire tub of rice my boyfriend’s mother gave us when we moved out on our own. It sounds funny doesn’t it but yeah she’s nice like that. I hardly cook with rice because doing chinese is so much harder for me. There’s always a million and one sauces needed in a recipe. The last time i attempted lemon chicken – it came out really nice but i smoked up the entire house from all the deep frying. So this is commemorating my boyfriend’s mother’s rice, it fed us for about six months!
It’s been awhile since food pics came up here! Now this time it might not make you that hungry because there’s quite a bit of greens. Well it definitely wouldn’t be as bad as when a dear friend showed me the link to Flickr’s ‘ilovesteak’ pool, just sayin’!
I couldn’t stop trying out recipes last week. One of those weeks whereby nobody else’s food would do it for me. But i realised i’m not good with cooking chicken meat, twice it was undercooked and now i’ve got a tiny phobia of cooking it. And cooking altogether i suppose – i’ve done enough washing + cleaning and haha, smoking up the house!
I must have been way over my head when i woke up one morning and thought to video my hands in the kitchen. I do run out of ideas to keep myself entertained sometimes so when one comes, i go for it! This one isn’t a burrito because my kitchen doesn’t have all those wonderful mexican ingredients… but i should totally put them on my list right now.
Saturday — my boyfriend and i took a day trip to Batam. What seemed to be a fun-filled afternoon turned out to be really dreadful disappointing doom doom doom. The only time i dared to take out my camera was in the ferry thus i present ferry shots! The rest of the time i was pretty much frantic frightened frazzled.
These below were taken before leaving Batam, sunset sampan sea.Â
Sunday i cooked. I’m a Real Simple girl and in fact, they were real simple to whip up!
This is the result of watching too much Top Chef, big itch to cook and my boyfriend would play Judge and spew culinary terms to make me giggle glee giggle.
