Monday, April 9th, 2007

My mum bought me a Baun food processor today .  So happy about it.

Yum yum. Added a few dishes to my cooking book today.
I learnt how to cook ginger pork, winter melon soup, oyster vegetable and fried fish today. It may sound really easy to cook all these items but well after the hour plus standing in the kitchen with my mum nagging down my ears […]
