when we 1st got the flat we're living in now, the balcony was covered totally in bird poo! blanketed! u couldn't see the floor at all!
Bleah!! *pukes!
It must have been darn satisfying standing at the balcony after scraping all that dried-up gunk off! -
oh we didn't do it. we forced the bloody management who promised us it will be cleaned off b4 we move in, to do it. They sent some people over to wash it up, at their cost. They were supposed to put in a pigeon net tho, and they didn't so its building up again despite the best of our efforts. Well if they wanna spend more $ to get people to come wash it, they're welcome to.Originally posted by Rhonda:

Cook it yourself!
That's why I'm amassing cookbooks and recipes of local dishes and delicacies so that when I migrate and find myself having an incredible craving, I can attempt to cook the dish myself!

'Jamie's School Dinners' is on Discovery Travel and Living at 10pm!

This is amazing! The dinner ladies don't even know how to slice a carrot and hurt themselves! All they've ever had to handle is the deep fryer.
And the older kids are buying junk outside school at lunchtime, taking orders from their schoolmates, and even their parents are helping! Sheesh! -
heh heh heh...
but seriously, junk food is an addiction.. -

How about rushing back from work (and before you can sit down to rest or get a drink), stand for 1 hour cutting, chopping and doing food preparation AND cooking, frying, making a pot of soup AND washing the dishes, knives, chopping board used in food preparation, pots, kuali, sometimes clean the oven or grill + the dishes used in serving dinner (after dinner)?
My hubby usually wash the last bit - the dishes he sees on the dinner table only. -
you can always leave everything for him to wash mah ...Originally posted by Wanda:Well, doing the dishes ALONE is easy.

but i guess the anally retentive wifey instincts can't bear the sight of all the stuff uncleaned after the food prep eh .... -

So romantic.Originally posted by Rhonda:Yo, kops!
There's actually a sort of satisfaction that one can derive from cooking. It's also aesthetic and a form of relaxation for some.
I love to cook for close friends because you can cook with love.
Every single step of food preparation and cooking, you're thinking of cooking for people near and dear to you.
Can't wait to cook for my SO next time! One of my ex-colleagues shares your view - she says cooking is 'ai4 de4 biao3 sian4' - an act of love. But then, she's yet to have an SO too. Maybe when one has SO, then it's not so romanticised anymore. -
we saw him put sth like mayonaise with ice... then we were thinkin omg are they gg to eat that?
half a glass of mayonaise..
but then again, it could be custard or cream or what...cos we couldn hear him on mobile tv
but really... the food, they look yucky... looks like he just dump everything edible together with loads of oil

Probably not as much oil as the deep-fryer though. Originally posted by shinta:we saw him put sth like mayonaise with ice... then we were thinkin omg are they gg to eat that?

I just got a brainwave...those Brits should be fed that pill that reduces your body's ability to absorb fat from food, and see how oily and disgusting their stool turns out.

Xenical. Hell, yeah! It would be soooo darn disgusting!
And don't forget, a common side effect to taking Xenical is - fecal incontinence!! Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes!!! RUN!!! Run far far faaaaar away!! -

I like to wash as much as I can as I cook. Kinda like while waiting for something to boil, quickly wash whatever cutlery and crockery in the sink.
