this is my soliloquy…

i baked a cake for the very first time! and guess what? it’s baked using a microwave!
my recipe:
- plain flour x 4tbsp
- cocoa x 4tbsp
- sugar x 3tbsp
- milo x 2tbsp
- milk x 4tbsp
- oil x 2tbsp
- egg x 1
mix all in a mug and stir very well. then put in microwave and set it on high for about 3 mins.
without fail, i’m the one who’s been cooking dinner on New Year’s Eve. every single year. today’s no exception.
making spaghetti again tonight and potato salad. the two dishes i’m most strong in. will be taking pictures and will try my best to post it up asap. i’ll be making two batches of the spaghetti sauce. one with beef and one without. the one without will be for a couple of friends.
decided to fry stingrays for dinner. wanted to do the grilled version but thought that it’s going to be very very messy and smoky.
here’s my recipe for the fried version.
- stingray
- lemon
- tamarind pulp
- chilli powder
- ground black pepper
as usual, i’m not going into the quantities. the quantities i use are for a family of 6 so if i were to put down the quantities, it’s not going to be of much use to anyone. better for everyone to try out on their own what’s the proper amount.
my only regret is i didn’t fry the stingray long enough for it to be crispy. anyway, it’s my brothers’ new favourite dish.
made this chicken soup from scratch. kind of.
- whole chicken, chopped into bite size pieces
- corn, chopped
- large potatoes, chopped
- carrots, chopped
- celery, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- knorr chicken cube
- mixed herbs
- parsley
- large onions, chopped into quarters
decided not to write down the quantities of the ingredients i used. the quantities i use are for a family of 6 and it’s purposely made with having leftovers in mind. reason for having leftovers is i’m lazy to cook for lunch. and in case i have something on and i’m not home, my little brothers can just microwave the leftovers.
tonight’s dinner? chicken soup and some vegetables. i cheated on the soup though. no time to do the whole chicken stock and all that. so what i did was just use Campbell’s Cream of Chicken soup and then built up the soup from there. There’s like potato cubes, chicken breasts, onions, eggs and mushrooms. mmmm. i love cooking.
