Laundry, cooking, more laundry, washing up after cooking, laundry again...

That is, if I can tear myself off from CS!

'hot beef injection', what is that??

Yes, I love seafood and I love my mollusks!

RE: Name your favourite..

Noooo, they don't!!

Never had a steak before, not even beef for that matter.

My son and other family members love it but for some reason, I've never gotten around to try it...

Oh snails! That I like, especially the sea snail or known locally as 'balitong'! Yummy!! Slurp slurp!

Sorry, fell asleep after reading this. I could barely open my eyes, too sleepy.

Copied this from the net

I think a more pertinent question may be "Why do Asians order/serve shark fin soup?" The answer to this question would be mainly prestige. Traditionally, shark fin is a very rare, difficult to acquire, and hence expensive ingredient. When a host orders or serves shark fin soup to his or her guests, it says the following two things:

It displays the host's wealth. The host's ability to afford and serve shark fin soup means he or she is very well off from a financial and materialistic point of view. One may choose to serve shark fin soup if one hopes to gain an elevated status before the guests.
It suggests that the guests are highly esteemed. Again, the fact that shark fin soup is very expensive means that it is not served to just any ordinary guest. If a host serves shark fin soup to the guests, that usually means that he or she considers the guests to be very important to them, whether in business or personal lives. Likewise, as a guest, if you are served shark fin soup, it means the host holds you in very high regard, and treasures the relationship the two of you share.

P.S I love love love mushrooms. All types of mushroom

Hmmmm...Finely chopped sautéed onion.


You know what? Those fins are tasteless, odourles. That's why the chefs need to pair them up with thick broth/soup.

RE: Name your favourite..

Yeah! Together with the 'Jaws' soundtrack!

In the thick soup, they are actually jelly-like, translucent.

I eat baby sharks that are made into yummy cutlets.

We have shark fin's soup in Chinese banquet. I know it's appalling how they killed those sharks just for its fin therefore I tried to refrain from having shark's fin soup nowadays but I gotta admit, they are really yummy.....

RE: Name your favourite..

My mom is a lousy cook and I probably take after her!

I grew up with my maternal grandmother ever since I was born.

Not really a great cook but she did make some memorable dishes, well at least to me...

I particularly like her sea cucumber soup with lotsa whole white pepper boiled in it. It's our annual Chinese New Year soup for as long as I could remember

RE: This is my Peace page

Molly!! Good morning

Soon, Molly. Very soon she'd be leaving this nest. She'd be sitting for her IGCSE in this coming mid Oct and in early Dec, I'd enroll her in a 3-month cabin crew course in the capital city and hopefully by the end of the programme, she'd be hired by one of the airlines.

She then can do her own cooking and spared my only kitchen from burning!!

RE: This is my Peace page

Oohhhhh...Daears, I'm a tyrant most of the time!

When the kids were really small, I treated them so bad that my mom asked if I'm really their biological mom!!

RE: This is my Peace page

My 18 year-old has decided to become a vegan and that means I have to cook everything separately for her. Her 17 year-old brother is a big meat-eater therefore it could be quite a challenge for a lousy cook like me

However, the other day she commented that I make the best vegetarian Thai green curry ( fresh mushrooms, tofu, eggplant, cauliflower, broccoli and loads of basil leaves and kaffir lime leaves + fresh coconut milk ) and that just makes the toiling in the small kitchen worthwhile....
