Hookery Cookery
Hehe. This is rapidly turning into a food blog... lol. Keng Tzu, this is ALL your fault. You and your cheese pizza fondue thingy! lol.
Anyways, for today's meal I made:
1st dish: blanquette de veau (which is like a creamy veal and onion stew) flavoured with rosemary
2nd dish: peppery pork strips and quartered brussel sprouts, stir-fried with cherry tomatoes, carrots, onions, ginger and garlic in oyster sauce
Ahaha my fault? See i discovered your talent! Seriously WHERE do you learn all these?? Maybe I am the only one who does not know how to cook. So i assumed everyone doesn't know.. hahaha oops.. My blog is just full of convenience food. Nthg as WHOLESOME and HEALTHY as your home cooked food larh =p hee hee Okie la when u are back we go eat cheesy fondue ok? hee hee...
Blanquette de veau (French of course) is not a recipe that even seasoned cooks like me can succeed. So I am sure you didn't! Tell the truth and shame the devil. Anyway where on earth do you get time to find these fancy recipes and cook these meals. You sure you coming back with a diploma and not a chef's certificate?????
Bisous (kiss), Your lovely aunt from France, where true good food comes from. You will be put to the test when I see you next!
Oi I DID ok! lol. Pictures don't lie. =D And yes, Aunt Poodle, I know it's French.(>,<)
I generally hunt for recipes online and then create my own using some of the basic ingredients and more of my own, after which... throwing stuff together and whatever flows goes. ^^
I'm not much of a computer person (I have an unfortunate tendency to crash them where ever I go... *winces*) and therefore have not set up any groups, mailing lists, archives, etc. Way much more of a prowler... forever just skulking around on the edges and every once in a blue moon putting in my two cents worth... be it wanted or not. =^)
I was a Tolkien canon purist... but... what the heck. I gave up ages ago trying to convince people that contrary to popular belief, Legolas was a brunette, not a blonde. LOL.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, aye?
So, the purist got shoved head-first down the privy, kicking and screaming, whilst my Legolas muse gloated and did a victory jig on the toilet seat.
Anyways, I went to see FOTR all snob-like, scoffing "Bah... what's the deal with this elf that has got the oestrogen brigade's panties in a twist?"
*sheepish smile* Yes, you may all laugh at me now.
The phenomenon of the Great Golden God of a Legolas hit me with the force of a drunk troll with a sledgehammer, o' course. It was a close encounter of the third kind: A wham, bam, thank yooou, mister!
So... a dangerously obsessive here. Everybody head for cover. Mwahehehheheh....
Right-oh. A bio, ye be asking for? Very well. Be forewarned though. *machiavellian grin* I'm notoriously verbose. Entirely not my fault, I tell you; 'tis the melodramatic Indian blood running through my veins. The same weakness. God, I'm so lame... Aye, I do go off tangent every other line too. *sigh* Where were we? Oh yes. Bio. Onwards:
