Self-Sacrifice

I made sushi for 15 people last week and for reason, even though I hadn't made any for myself, I was full by the time I was done. Magic!

One Week

I really like the band The Barenaked Ladies (something I picked up while living in Toronto), but G doesn't seem to be able to stand them. Therefore my BNL solo-cooking-karaoke session generally takes place when he's not around...

Things I Like to Watch

These are a few of my favourite things (to watch).

Takoyaki Part II

Making takoyaki again (see previous post The Takoyaking), but this time without my mom's help. I panicked when I couldn't find any octopus at the Galleria but eventually did get a hold of some frozen octopuses at a nearby Asian supermarket. (5 euros for a kilo, not bad at all!) The problem was, these ones weren't washed and boiled and prepared like the previous ones, so we had to do some google research on how one goes about boiling and preparing octopus. We had some squishy slimy fun.

Sorry for the bad quality, was in a bit of a hurry to get some things done.

Nightmares and Aubergine

Oh snap, it's just past midnight! I know it's a little late, but I'm going to say this update is for Sunday.

I had my first nightmare in a long time last night. I was a witness to a murder, and the murderer (he was a classmate from my German class, even though he wasn't anyone I knew in real life) decided that he wanted me dead. He hired someone to slit my throat while I was having coffee with my mom at the crime scene (clever, I know). Fortunately, he missed (how do you do that, especially when you're sneaking up from behind?) and my mom and I managed to run home, but we were in a panic and couldn't get the door to unlock. Meanwhile, the guy was fast approaching....and I woke up. Brr.

Anyway. Another culinary weekend of gyoza dumplings, fried rice, and aubergine dip (though I left before I could taste it...ack!). I feel grateful that G loves to cook and is, in fact, an excellent cook.

I was about to say that we're a perfect team because I'm an efficient prep cook and dishwasher, but then I remembered that I broke two glasses this weekend. Ahem. Well.
