Over the past 4 days, I've made myself busy by firing up the kitchen. Using delicious magazine as my recipe provider, I've successfully made 4 different dinners: fish pie with leek mash, pumpkin soup, beef stew with pumpkin cubes and pot-roast chicken with potatoes.

the roses :)

Anyway, I mentioned in the last post that I bought myself roses. I trimmed the stems so that they'd fit my glass container so they're really short now.. but still pretty. So the conversation went like this (remember, I'm calling him from UK to Brunei):

yasmin: hi! I'm at Sainsbury's and I'm going to buy roses and they're going to be from you.
fol: Okay, I'll pay for them!
y: so which colour would you pick? yellow, pink and red or white, pink and red?
f: yellllooooww. you know why.

yes, my boyfriend and I have the cutest conversations :)

Lamb chops, fried tomatoes, nasi goreng and pumpkin soup & ciabatta bread! ps. the wine glasses were a gift from a friend, it would've been a shame not to use them. hehehe

Funnily enough, I'm the one who does all the food preparation and the cooking. Usually I get one of my housemates to help out but these days it's like a one-woman show.. except I don't do the cleaning. It's one of the jobs I try to avoid at all costs. I don't mind cooking.. it's like, I get to do the mess and everyone else can clean up :p

Pot-roast Chicken with Potatoes.

I think all this cooking is a result of missing my boyfriend too much. We usually spent our day cooking in the kitchen, now it's just me. I miss his cooking. I can't wait til I get to see him again, first thing I'm gonna order is a roast lamb leg! Haha.

At some point this week I'm gonna try and get on par with all my work.. hu

Do you like my cooking so far chef? =) I love you.

love,
yasmin.
