對不起﹐原來我離開了xanga這麼久但是忘了放我的新網誌在此。

放心﹐我會回來看你們的xanga。Keep blogging!

I've been wanting to change this xanga into a blog about cooking.. since I've embarked on my journey of living on my own. I wanted to share my experiences.. especially about cooking with other students that are living on their own.~ Enjoy my simple cooking manual for students =D

Breakfast: This is actually the most important meal of the day.. so try not to skip this meal because it provides the nutrients you need for the day. Although it may seem like you aren't getting much out of breakfast and you may run out of ideas.. but nevertheless, make sure you eat something every morning :) If you're the type of person who needs some sort of bread in the morning.. there is actually more than you think that could be done. Even though french toast isn't as healthy.. it's a delicious treat occasionally~ Here are some of my good and not so good examples of french toast:

the first picture is when I first tried making it.. the egg didn't stick very well.. and it was a bit burnt on the other side.. the second time I found this type of bread which is great for making french toast because of it's long rectangular shape and for some reason it soaks up the egg better than usual. (you can get it at T&T - it's calcium fortified)

Lunch: Depending on whether you get to eat lunch at home or at school.. you would probably want something simple for lunch. Yes, instant noodles are easy and good if you want a hot lunch.. but avoid eating it everyday. I believe that we, students can come up with something better :P If you pack your lunches to school or want something easy to carry around, you can be creative with sandwiches. (eg. Ham and cheese, BLT, peanut butter varieties, spam and egg, nutella, etc.)

Dinner: The meal I look forward in a day.. because this is where you really get to test your cooking skills. It really depends whether you tend to like more eastern or western.. Usually I enjoy cooking chinese dishes more because they require more skill and more thought. But when I have limited time and energy, I just come up with something simple on the western side~ like all sorts of pasta, mac+cheese, chicken wings, etc.) If you don't feel like white rice on occasion.. (which I feel sometimes..) I make congee.. 如果你認為白粥太齋﹐可以早上浸幾粒乾貝﹐煮粥的時候可以放入去一起煲。Congee with dried scallop makes it much sweeter and less boring..

我的個性就好像很多女孩子一樣都很喜歡胡思亂想。只要有一件事刺激到我﹐我就一發不可收拾。這樣的喜好會否令我變得討厭呢﹖其實我真是一個不可愛的人。這種可愛不是說Cute那種可愛﹐反而是令人喜愛那種lovable的特徵。為什麼﹖我猜可能是因為我較獨立﹐很多時間也會隱藏自己。我又慢熱﹐又不懂得處理人際關係。我跟別人談話的時候也很直接所以有機會傷害到人。雖然有時我真的想躲在黑洞裡面﹐但是只怪我們人類就住定是relational creatures。沒有人際關係就會沒有自己。
