twenty oh nine

cooking is so damn exhausting!!!!! i spent the whole morning making only…TWO DISHES AND RICE (in a rice cooker la).  i think i’m a very inefficient cook and being a stickler for cleanliness, i wash my hands WITH SANITIZING SOAP after every single step.  

i.e. cut onion, wash hands.  

open can of vegetables, wash hands.  

put frozen chicken in water, wash hands.  

slice chicken,  WASH HANDS MANY MANY MANY TIMES.  EW

is this normal???? 

anyways the recipes were inspired by my turkish housemate ozlem (ozzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha) because she made battered salmon and vege in tomato stew thingy and it was so yummy and homely.  and i tried to replicate what she did and TADA!! 3 hours of slaving away in exchange for just 15min pathetic minutes of pure gastronomic heaven.  

that’s just how life rolls lol
