inspirations & failed attempts.

this post is inspired by the dodo.

***

she send me these the other day...

this was her inspiration photo

and she tried to take a similar photo of her buggy.. 

and it ended up like this:

and like this!

hahaha.. but i think it failed cus buggy is placed on her tummy instead of her back.. anyway this post has nothing to do with buggy. its my cooking!

i tried to cook a few dishes for the family on saturday. i went online and search for a few simple recipes. i wanted to cook pasta because i think it's the easiest but was sick of my usual one.

so i found this...

the inspiration - lemon pasta with chicken.

and the fail attempt. 

but the chicken is really nice i think.. hehehe.. 

recipe here.

and i was thinking that we should have some starters too! cream of mushroom is my favourite but was too time consuming.. so i choose a potato salad. thinking that it would be more time saving since i was already going to make potato purée for the little girl's dinner. but i was wrong. cus the little girl's potato was to be boiled in plain water while ours needed salt!

the inspiration - egg potato salad.

and the failed attempt.

the potatoes were overcooked on the outside and became marshy. =(

i skipped the peas and added onions.

recipe here.

i was ambitious and wanted a side - chicken wings!

the inspiration - spicy chicken wings.

and the failed attempt. 

mine did not turned out char like expected. 

and though the receipe say to refrigerate for at least one hour, but i dont think its enough. 

i massaged them and left them inside for one and a half but the seasoning has just started to soaked in so the bigger wings are bland on the inside.

recipe here.

i think i had fun trying out new recipes and they dont really taste that bad, just dont look as nice.. =)
looking forward to the oven at my new place and i can bake more food!

oh, and i said tried cus my finger got cut when the onion decided to give a run. so the hubs stood in and the dishes are mostly finished up by him.

le hubs: why i end up cooking huh!?
me: cus my finger broken (exaggerating much here).. so if you dont want my finger to break and you end up cooking then you dont let me cook the next time..

*after a long paused..

le hubs: then who cook?!
