Since the mother’s out of town, these days I’ve been spending more time in the kitchen, cooking our daily meals. And thereby learning how difficult it is to come up with a varied 5-day menu, when you’re running on low, almost non-existent culinary skills. When I’m not turning to the oven for comfort, I delve in the realm of winging-it, judging dishes by their looks, rather than actually tasting them. The upside of days of epicurean experimentation is that I’ve learnt three things: one, when in doubt, just stir-fry anything; two, french toast tastes better when they’re cutesy and filled with caramelised apples; and three, anything and everything tastes better than jars of black fish + ginseng essence (twenty jars to go *sigh*).

Better for me since it’s super easy to make!
