Food related emo

There are stupids and then there are people who can’t even use a smartphone giving tech advice.

Lolwhut?

I cooked! Although it was a tried and tested dish and I have cooked it dozens of times, am happy I got my hands dirty.

# – Herbed roast chicken and buttered peas. Recipe here.

I really miss cooking :(

I miss being in my kitchen, my sanctuary. Putting different ingredients together and watching them transform in delicious food. Documenting my journey and experiments.

I love what I am doing but I wish I had more time and energy for making food.

Well, slowly but surely.

Everybody needs a Microplane grater

Cooked dinner last night, Moroccan lambs chops and spinach couscous.

Dinner wasn’t planned, otherwise it would have been Moroccan lamb chops with yogurt, hummus and sultana couscous.

Anyway, just want to say that anyone who cooks needs at least one Microplane grater. I’ve got three! Got them from ebay but you can find them pretty marked-up at specialty cookware shops.

# – Snowing nutmeg on me lamb chops.

It was so effortless to grate the nutmeg. Even to this day, whenever I zest lemons, I’m just filled with pure joy everytime because I don’t have to struggle!

Microplane started out as a wood file, before thankfully moving into people’s kitchens all over the world. So yeah, you don’t want to put your finger to it.

Next Microplane on my list….a mandolin.

When not to use shaving cream

You know how the mirror in the porch has been bugging me with its stains and streaks?

I tried everything but the cloudiness just wouldn’t fade. At last, I tried Google.

Many suggested shaving cream to remove stubborn cloudy stains from mirror.

So I did it.

# – Like frosting a cake.

Left it alone for 15 minutes then wiped it off with paper towel.

Verdict?

Looks worse than before -_-

This was probably as useful as the time I put mayonaise on my hair to make it softer.

By the way, that’s my very first blogpost after my xanga blog imploded. How time flies.
