ok.I'm always feeling like eating and forever eating.even right before and after meals.When I have nothing to do, i eat. When i don't feel like doing something, i eat. When i want a break. i also eat.

So..below are two photos of what I have recently consume other than my 'minced' rockmelon with milk last time.

I present to you the...milk with milo powder and three little cornflakes.Honey-flavoured and crispy.





I know it looks disgusting and may even make you nauseous but then..it tasted nice ok. :P

Hmm..so for today..I did a trial on my home econs practical exam.For your information..we are required to create an ethnic dish that involve 3 key ingredients from various ethnic groups.

My dish:
Spaghetti with pineapple
1)Thai-pineapple(from the idea of pineapple rice)haha

2)German-Small pieces of french loaf(bread) (bread is essential for German diet)

3)Malay-Shallots,onions and garlic

4)Italian-spaghetti+tomato sauce+mozzarella cheese (saw the recipe Mock Lasagne from my mum's recipe book and modify it)

That's about all basically.Albeit Mum got me some ingredients yesterday already..I still need to make a sortie to the market to get the rest.

This morning..went to the market to buy chicken breast meat,french loaf,mozzarella cheese,carrots.. but I forgot the mushrooms.Collected the developed photos of SAFTI visit.

Shopping for groceries ain't easy.Firstly..while i was trying to get minced chicken, i realised that supermarkets don't sell that.They sell whole piece or parts of chicken that are not minced.If you want minced meat, get either pork or..beef? So in the end, i looked for help at the bakery.my mum is working there.haha.She helped me 'ordered' the chicken breast meat for me and rushed back to her working place.My job was to pay the $1.40. ;P

I also got the mozzarella cheese.200g,4 bucks.you have to 'sliced' yourself while the other packet same brand,200g too,sliced,5.10bucks.so ex.

Headed to 'Hong Mao' to get carrots at 3 for 70cents.Didn't know how to choose the good ones.

I also observed that women pay more attention when buying groceries.For example, men, they see the carrots, they go for it, anyhow pick up one packet , and they pay for it.


Went back home, kept the ingredients and did some theory work.When lunch time came..and i was sick of doing work..i went to prepare the ingredients.



Everything ended rather smoothly.although I burnt the first ingredients added into the pan(shallots) and forgot to season the minced chicken when i had already started the fire..the dish was still passable.

haha.
