Brunch: Nasi-goreng fried rice, scrambled eggs, tomatoe, milk and orange-mango juice Dinner: Beef lasagne, satay chicken barbecue, lettuce and peach salad dressed in apple cidar vinegar and olive oil. Late nigh snack: fried cardava banana with brown sugar and almonds (Filipino turon) and blackcurrant juice. Miss having this typical Filipino snack so imagine the excitement when I found a "saging na saba" (cardava banana) in the supermarket, something I haven't seen in Tokyo the whole time I was there. Invited a few friends over for early dinner. I don't know with you, but I feel so grown up cooking food for friends. I wish I have a bigger table though. That, at least, would inspire me to be more "friendly" just so I could fill it up.

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:

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.

Brunch:Raisin toast, baked beans, scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and orange juice; Afternoon snack: instant cappuccino, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Skittles (not shown) Dinner: Grilled honey and spicy chicken winglets (topped with mayo), steamed rice, avocado with yogurt, a cup of milk, and peach. Busy with reading materials for work. I couldn't quite understand why whenever I need to finish something, the clock ticks rather faster than usual. I feel like I'm doomed half of the time.

Brunch: Scrambled eggs, pork steak, steamed rice, yogurt and cherry tomatoes, and instant cappuccino (which got spilled inside the microwave) Dinner: Peach, avocado, lettuce salad with bits of almonds, dressed in olive oil and apple cider vinegar, and grilled chicken and coconut-pineapple juice (not shown). Somebody's dating. And somebody's eating salad! :)

Breakfast: Raisin loaf with Nutella!, yogurt, and instant cappuccino Lunch: Scrambled eggs, fried rice using braised pork stew from last night, tomato cherries, and orange-mango juice; Dinner: Salad with olive oil dressing and cheese, roasted chicken (spicy!) and fried rice left-over Late afternoon coffee: Café mocha, some "organic" wheat bar Midnight snack: Milk, biscuit with rasperry jam & whipped cream filling, and a spoonful of Nutella. Licking a spoonful of Nutella felt like swallowing a pill: I don't quite get why a lot of people likes this spread. It's too sweet, and pretty much just that. It reminds me of this really nice coconut jam (put inside a real coconut shell) which my mother used to buy when I was younger, except that Nutella is a very sweet chocolate that tries to be this coconut jam. Or maybe I just don't have the taste for expensive foods? Who knows really.

Still reeling over the newness of the new flat. My muscles are sore, and I think I dislocated something in my left wrist from carrying all my stuff yesterday. Anyway, I live in the 5th floor and have a good view of the nearby river and the uni's clock tower. It's pretty sleek, I must say, but I have to take a good photo soon lest you'd say I'm just making it up.
