Fusion teas, Bo Earl, our invention!
T2 has stolen our idea of fusion Chinese and English teas, but the joke's on them cos Bo Earl tastes like shite, and a different combination was pretty fantastic (but we've forgotten what that was...).
My respect for T2 has hit an all time low after its blasphemous move to not only ruin the already perfect taste of the Bo Lei but to do it with such ignorance and combine it with Earl Grey! It's funny that they didn't include the tradition Bo Lei combination with Chrysanthemum - that would have won them some respite.

First look at Costco
They have everything in Giant and Gianter sizes. If it's not huge, then there's a lot of them!

Week 3 of feeding myself - Japchae
I'm slowly making my way to Chinese food. First week was lamb cutlets with easy-peasy roasted veges. Then lasagna with burnt bechamel sauce, and now, Japchae... Now the room smells cos I forgot to close the door...

I'm no masterchef!
It would've been faster if I made my own fire with a couple of sticks rather than using the electric stove in the kitchen... After much mulling and waiting and burning... and then what seemed like boiling in the oven, tada - lasagna!
Slight burn flavour in the bechamel sauce but most of that was masked by the meat sauce, *phew*
Lesson for the week: Read recipes several times before attempting any cooking and PRINT recipe!
Lasagna recipe brought to me by the nice people at Taste.com.au.

A poor workman blames his tools. In my case, the lack of tools!
I had to put down a can of beetroot last night because I don't own a can opener... I didn't eat any meat last night because I don't own a cleaver or knife sharp enough to cut any (and cos I had too much for lunch and felt gross)... and I didn't end up making canned soup because I don't own a ladle to serve it...
oh, not to mention the disfunctional stove that doesn't switch off lol.
I'd buy all these tools but I haven't been paid yet! Grrrrr!!!

It's Fatty Friday!
Don't you just love it when a plain burger means it includes lettuce, tomato, onion and beetroot!! I had to run out of the takeaway shop in case I made a decision I would undoubtedly regret, like potato scallops (4 greasy ones for $3.20)!
