Time for the kitchen act

I have not been cooking much lately. One being I am getting lazier and secondly sometimes hubby eats outside before coming home at night. Another reason is that I hate leftover. Better finish up the dishes on the day itself otherwise no one will touch the leftover at all.

But today I feel like cooking for our dinner. Little gal is easy to feed; all she needs is some soup pour over her rice and fried anchovies. Kau tim!! I am not much of a cook, but I do collect recipes. Most of my recipes I gather via internet, blogs, newspapers and magazines. I mostly collect Asian cuisine as it is easier to buy its ingredients and since both hubby and I love rice. I will cut and paste the recipes into a book and sort according to type of ingredients, i.e. rice, noodles, chicken, beef, vegetables etc for my future reference. Currently I have 2 big books full of recipes that I haven’t got chance to try most of them out. Lol!

Ok, one confession I have to make here is that I am not good at chopping meat. Like this morning, I have to get my cleaning lady to help me chop a whole chicken thigh. Lol! I am lousy at chopping chicken pieces; usually I leave the honour to hubby. But I forgot to take out the frozen meat from fridge and ask hubby to help me chop before he was off to work this morning. Luckily I got help from my cleaning lady. My cleaning lady gives me a tip as well: it is easier to chop frozen meat than fresh meat; make less mess. Hmm....Alright, time to get ready my dinner.
