BROWN SUGAR


Making pancakes on a Saturday morning.

Breakfast complete with toast, eggs sunny side up or scrambled, baked beans and chicken ham on a Sunday.

Spagetti bolognaise or roasted chicken Thursday night.

Vermicelli a.k.a. bihun and chicken soup on a Monday.

Lamb stew (happy to say that it's my own try and tested and a hit among friends :D)

All self-prepared and cooked in my humble little kitchen.

Trifles and puddings!!! *sigh*


Fast forward a few years later.....

Last Sunday night I had French toast for dinner.

Last night I ate a big bowl of Koko Krunch (with whatever was left in my milk carton, fast approaching it's expiry date anyway) and half-boiled eggs.

I barely have anything in the cabinet except for dried rosemary, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, peanuts, black and white pepper, sesame seed, thyme, dried mushrooms (need to dispose those) and five spice. A few boxes of cereal, crackers, instant noodles and an old can of Campbell's (may need to throw that away too).

There's ice-cream in the fridge that I haven't touched and a bottle of rootbeer looking all alone.

Talk about a healthy diet. I would be listening to my mom's long lecture if she knew.

Appetite is slowly coming back. A good sign.

Cooking is a very good form of therapy. Especially when you have everything within reach. Even better if you have a kitchen like Jamie's or Nigella's....*double sigh*. I'd probably sleep in the kitchen if I did.

I better stock up this weekend.
