Thy Dinner Thy Night
Haiyo! It's been quite afew days I stepped into my kitchen to pick up my wok & spatula. Poor hubby has been eating macdonalds these few days for lunch. Am glad that my cousin came & brought me foods & magazines! =) But he left and will only be back on Sun as he gotta fly to Dublin. Nice place! Hope to go one day.
Been eating out these days, celebrating bday, anniversary, bringing my cousin around for a day. That's why cooking was out of the question the last few days.
Today, I restart my adventure in my favourite place, that is my kitchen. Sounds weird but I really miss cooking & eating my own home-cooked food. Do u all feel the same way too at times? :P Yes, I do... I must say this is my second time feeling this way. I was lost at 1st of thinking what to cook, how to cook and all the confidence-less thoughts kept running thru' my mind. In a twink of an eye, dinner is ready & served. Wonder how I do it. haha! Amazing! I must say I miss cooking!! :)
Alrighty, here's thy dinner for thy evening.
