A weekend of pain

Yet another 24 hour snow trip, but this time it wasn't as crazy cos sleep was involved... but a most uncomfortable, cold and bad sleep.

All this travel and blizzard-like conditions followed by some cricket fielding on Sunday... oh I sprinted like I have never sprinted before!

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

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.
