Brunch: Raisin toast, sunny-side up, yogurt and a peach 

Late afternoon snack: Tea, biscuits, and peaches

Dinner: Steamed Jasmine rice, grilled lamb chops with vegetables sautéd in olive oil, and blackcurrant juice.

Today was my first time to cook lamb! I must say it's one tricky meat to make right. Since I was unsure how to tackle it (and to think I was cooking dinner for a date, and I was running out of time), I hastily consulted googled and followed the easiest (and certainly the surest) way to get it done. Except for the fact that it was chewy (need: meat tenderiser), I think I did fine, or so what my date has said (and I wish to believe). Moral of the story is to avoid lamb on a date. Heh.

Breakfast: Flakes of smoked salmon, and cucumber on white rice. Lunch: Lamb casserole, grilled chicken, and mesclun salad with cucumber and peaches. Blackcurrent juice to drown. Dinner: Cold capellini pasta with shrimps sautéd on olive oil, lime juice, garlic and shrimp paste. Guava juice and frozen peaches to kill the garlic. Worked from home today. I'm wondering whether all these people casted on reality TV shows are actual contestants (meaning: ordinary people) or just a bunch of actors/actresses paid to play as contestants. They seem to know what to say all the time! People in real life, I suppose, are not as articulate as those bunch. Or that maybe, they are actual ordinary people (but just) made to read from scripts and with camera-made personalities purported by the most edited of clips just so they appear the way people at home can enjoy. Nevertheless, I do enjoy the endless banter regardless of whether it's real, or otherwise.

The Kitchen. Breakfast: none. Lunch: Roasted pork and steamed rice (not in picture);  Dinner (above): Roasted chicken, salad and cheese, Orange-mango juice Midnight snack: Milk and two slices of banana cake Finally settled in in the new flat after 1 and 1/2 months of being a vagabond! I must say the new place has lived to the growing anticipation of weeks of waiting, and getting delayed in moving in, and waiting further still. I'm dead tired right now, and I must come back later to have things done here in the blog. Hot shower, finally!

Breakfast: Nasi-goreng fried rice, tomatoes, yogurt, guava juice, and raisin toast; Dinner: Smoked salmon with  lumpfish caviar, vegetables sautéd on olive oil, white rice and orange-mango juice. I watched L'Auberge Espagnole (2002) again, and still find it very amusing to this day. Funny thing is that I realised that I pick a different favorite character everytime I rewatch it. Well, for today, Wendy's brother cracked me up so now I have a new favorite! I went out for a walk this afternoon to find out what's in the river bank of the river I can see from my flat. Well, it's this:
