Slow n easy Sunday

one and a half hour of zumba and tabata to burn more calories after my big dim sum lunch yesterday.then did some gardening,fertilise plants n weeding.decided to go to my favourite garden centre in sg buloh to pick up organic compost.its the best part of day looking at the beautiful relaxing landscape design of bubbling fountains,suseki rocks and artistically grown bonsai plants.the soothing music add to a calm ambience. then i went to two malls to check out a new cooker.the old induction cooker went kaput so two years ago i bought a cheap electrical hot plate. and ive cooked all my meals using the hot plate,i use a cheap toaster oven to roast chicken chop,grill fish,bake cakes,muffins,tarts n quiches.its not expensive kitchen gadgets that make delicious food but the skill and talent of a cook.give me a wood or charcoal stove and i can still cook good food.

.i gave up using gas stove as im forgetful and forget to switch off the gas after cooking dinner.the gas leak could kill us in our sleep as i close all kitchen windows and glass doors at nite.luckily jun hates the smell of gas that is a mix between rotten eggs fart and stinky durians.if one of us accidentally use the blow torch or light a candle at the altar,it could blow up the apartment. so now i use electric cooking pot and the hot plate.the hot plate is rusting and burnt bits n pieces come out when i put the pot on top of it.so i check out the prices and between the philips and khind infrared cooker,i bought the made in malaysia khind as it gave me a free stainless steel grill.also its time to support locally made products. i bought a new cat toy for darling kitty.it kept him busy playing with it so he wont disturb me or upset my potted plants.i got bargains from lotus like 3 bath towels for rm10 and two norwegian saba fish for rm 15.90.i cooked ikan bakar with sambal belacan and leave one more for teriyaki grilled saba.the norwegian saba fish is so huge
