Jann's BLoG

Roast Beef - my first attempt. Under Chris's supervision of course. Lots of black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and salt. (actually all the available spices i can find in the cupboard) Ta da, look at the pink in the middle. Not over cooked. Served with my famous bean casserole No roast beef is complete without your spuds. Roast potatoes with lots of rosemary and cheese. From the look of this empty plate, it has got to be yummy right? Don't just take my words for it. Ask Daisy, Alex or my boys....

After last Saturday's visit to RedDot, I was so inspired to cook Crab Linguine a la REdDot. Bought all the ingredients; but at the last minute, chicken out. Instead, here's my Chili Crab, Singapore/Jann's style. The linguine - made my usual Aglio thingy but this time with chicken broth. And of course, just to be sure to make use of my new breadmaker, i made some pizza for the boys too. Fresh red chilies, garlic, onion and not shown here, lemon grass and galangal Not easy, but managed to "kill" the crab. I had to say a prayer after that. TA daaaaa. My own concoction. Alex, who is not a usual crab fan, was happily digging in. Not bad for a first time. Thou i am still keen to try the linguine al la Crab :-)

hey, yes i'm blowing my trumpet again. And yes, its bragging. But hey u will brag if you are in my shoes. Picture this.....normal Friday, TGIF, i take the afternoon off to go for my facial/massage.. .. then, i come home, have a beer by the bar and play some pools with Wesley; And inhale, nice aroma. Bez had dinner in the oven.... not just your run in the mill type of dinner. Its Five Spices Beef with Fragrant Brown Rice. Served with Caesar's salad. You can smell it in the air. oh Yes, he substitutes five spices with italian spices. Even better. How can a mother be so lucky! Sorry Ben, u luck out! He even get to "togo" some for Kenneth. Kenneth, say Thank you! One day he will probably togo for his girlfriend. And when that day comes, all my dear friends, please make sure and please remind me not to be a Monster IN Law!!!!!!

2 super red, succulent strawberries and 1 orange. Cut it up and freeze it for an hour. Add aloe vera - super healthy! Add honey. Blend it and wala! Yummy delicious daiquiri is ready. Virgin thou. For those above 18 add a shot of rum and omit the honey And trust me, It's simply awesome! And what make this even more delicious is that it is prepared for me by my dear Bez! His special concoction, though i don't think he realise that it is quite like a daiquiri without the alcohol :-) I know I am bragging again, but really I think his future girlfriends will be very lucky cos he is cute, smart and he can cook! He plays the guitar too. But of course not forgetting he can be pretty boring, preferring to spend most of the time in front of the computer. And forgetful and not very organise. LOL
