many times, for a chg of homemade cusine, i watched the cooking shows to get inspiration, recipe books too....one of my all-time fav (as i had mentioned before,) have to be 'everydayfood'.It intro me to many ingredients and herbs, i otherwise would not have the courage to use.this, is something i wanted to try for a while, but kept forgetting to put the buttermilk into my shopping basket everytime i go NTUC xtra....
something refreshing for me, bcos i seldom deep fry food in my kitchen, and this NO-FUSS recipe provided me with a crisp (tat is similar to deep-fried crisp) and yet i dun need to clean up my kitchen, or stained my lips with oil! hur hur...however, i dislike that the chicken tasted blend....looks like i need to modify the recipe to asian taste... heh heh...
 and this, is another breakthru for me and my kitchen!haha....u see, i seldom deep fry, or pan-fry...so, one day, i decided to make this..it took me alot of preparation before the fish goes into the pan! im not kidding. :)something like, armed my kitchen stove area with newspaper (i play safe, so dun worry), n on my service yard floor, so that they dun get too oily...blar blar...well, i think the prep pays off....cos i get minimal cleaning up to do... =)me love my fish... =)(so humble-less...haha)Labels: coris, Dinner, DIY, home cooked food, recipe

I was planning for dinner that day, and was playing back curtis stone's show from my DVD recorder (boi, that recorder has became my recipe database!).Seconds later, I decided, this is gonna be it.Brazilian Chicken.
 Simple and no fuss, what I did was to sling bbTara and went to the NTUC downstairs to get some onion, green pepper and yellow pepper. Do u wanna noe how easy?Brazilian ChckenIngredients:Chicken thigh / Drum (whatever u prefer, i used both)1 green pepper, and 1 yellow pepper1 big yellow onion1/2 bottle of white winemethod:- pan fry chicken parts till half-cooked, and leave it aside- then, stir fry the onions in olive oil until soft.- add green and yellow pepper- put chicken parts back into the pan on top of the vege- add 1/2 bottle of white wine into the pan- simmer for 15-20mins, cover pan with lid Viola, chicken, the brazilian way. =)How easy!It was good, we had it with rice. Livingstone, who doesnt' eat the capsicums, finished his share of it that nite. Try it. it's too easy to reject it =)Labels: chicken, coris, Dinner, discovery, DIY, home cooked food, recipe

Budd offered a birthday dinner for me, but these days, i prefer to tire myself out at home, and so I invited her over for dinner. Chilling out at home is much better then doing it outside for me now....imagine i cannot take many cold drinks now. My choices are limited. I probably have to sit up straight out at the restaurants, and I can't lounge comfortably, or lift my feet when i see water retention building up.... haha...Lucky she doesn't mind coming to my place becos of distance.... =)With that, I whipped up a dinner for her. And it is the first time in my 2 years since I DEEP-FRIED something in CORIS! haha...And my first attempt is Pork Cutlet coated with breadcrumbs.And i liked that! =)
greens.....
pizza......
and mushroom spag.....
dessert was fruit tarts!
Im glad she liked them.... =)
More cam-whoring!!!
One-to-five.... haha...
Thanks for the company budd.... =)I was indeed tired after the preparation, but I enjoyed it. Thank God, Livingstone was very helpful in cleaning up the aftermath.... =DLabels: Birthday, budd, coris, dessert, Dinner, pizza, quality time

My sista put me on a series of climax for National Day,first she called and say she has tickets for us to the parade,next, she called and say the tickets are for the Padang instead....So, we decided to forsake the tickets, and stay at hme to watch our plasma and our sky.... haha...It was a lovely morning, beautiful blue sky with cotton soft clouds greeting me "OHAYO!" as I pulled myself outta bed to prepare brekkie....(the same sky shall bring us the airshow brought to us by the black knights later in the nite)
Long long ago, I made my own mushroom-cheese-english-muffin, and since then, I havent found another gd time to make it...
Today will be the day. Livingstone was delighted with his menu when he woke up....yummilicious!
 I didnt make my own english muffins, bought it off the shelves, made by the proud pple of gardenia (grill it without oil!).sautee the portabella mushrooms, and sandwiched it with 2 slices of cheese...viola!!Our yummy DIY brekkie on the morning of National Day! =)Labels: breakfast, coris, DIY, holiday, home cooked food

BB is coming, I got to brush up my culinary skills.... heh heh
Does that give me a good excuse to feed Livingstone like a guinea pig? :)
Today, we eat nutritious food....steamed fish....
and this, 菜心 with meat. something that my mom always cook when we were young, and I rem I can finish the entire bowl alone with rice. =)
Realised that we have abalone at home, so there it goes into our chicken soup (need to brush up my skills on chicken soup).
so, the entire meal is complete, with fish, vege and soup. My perfect combination. =)
Livingstone has something up his sleeves when I see him scooping the rice on his plate and pushing them here and there....
haha, so cute...
so creative....Labels: coris, Dinner
