i
accidentally threw bangkwangs instead of yams into the shopping basket in cold storage 2 days ago. candied bangkwangs probably don't taste so good.
ii
finally getting round to making cheesecake. spurning nigella's recipe because frankly i did not like the lime one we made in su-lin's place eons ago and would like to make something that is not the consistency of goo. poll: grahams or digestives for base?
iii
peanut butter cookies were quite satisfactory. only mishap: should have followed advice to letter and made indentations for jam deeper.
iv
why are artichokes so expensive?
v
the problem with christmas in the tropics is that food that might be considered hearty elsewhere merely makes one jelat in equatorial climes. (can one be jelat? or do you feel jelat? or have i just completely lost my mind?) also: many vegetables not available/are too expensive/not fresh. spent a king's ransom on brussel sprouts; acorn squash completely unavailable.
vi
food disappears all too quickly when there are 5 people in the house.
vii
year after year i am disappointed by christmas hams. our aunt dropped one by as a way of a family present and as always expectation has surpassed actual tasting. ham is a very stodgy food to begin with and is rather difficult to give a lift to. packing it into a dense log does not help the cause. am plotting to escape the imminence of sandwiches at lunch.
viii
tomorrow, though, will be good.
