Week 3 of feeding myself - Japchae

japchae attempt













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!

lasagna with burnt bechamel sauce

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!

plain burger from the milkbar

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)!

Pissing all over incontinence

I miss my brain...

I was reading through some older blog posts from here and there and I found that I was MUCH wittier then than I am now... have I lost perspective on the world? Am I not seeing as much as I used to? Maybe I'm just not putting as much effort into writing and thinking as I did back in 2004-2006.

Time to oil my brain, eyes and prose methinks!!!
