I’m feeling nostalgic this evening so here’s a playlist featuring some of the sappiest 80s easy listening tunes for you to either mock, or sing along to.
Laugh all you want… I am a child of the 80s after all. :p

I saw those shoes and went a bit crazy looking for other minty things. I don’t think I’ll ever consider wearing mint-coloured jeans, but everything else is a go. ;)

On my way back from work, I was chatting with QQ about food and the dishes she cooks. I was helping her think of ways to make her fish taste better then somewhere between mixed herbs and butter, I realised how much I actually enjoy cooking.
I get quite excited about cooking. Perhaps it’s the fun we all have especially when the buddies come over for a cook-in session. We always manage to cook up a bit of a storm, a storm we’re all thankful we don’t have to clean up after all thanks to my wonderful domestic helper. Heheh. And even when the buddies are not around, there are times when I just feel like taking over the kitchen and preparing a simple meal for the family. Not only is it a good stress relief, it is also completely gratifying when I see the satisfied looks on their faces. :)
I don’t think we’ve ever failed miserably but we’ve always played it safe with easy-to-make pastas and salads. In the last couple of years though, we’ve tried to step it up a little. Nothing spectacular, but always pretty darn delish.
We’ve done a full English-style breakfast:
Cooked a Christmas dinner:
Here’s a simple roast salmon dinner:
And this was lunch today:
I wish I had more time to cook and experiment with fancier dishes.
