Being my first day off work since I've come back from holidays, I finally had a chance to hit the shops for some much needed grocery shopping.
In the afternoon, I went outside to water the garden again. Yes, I'm praying my plants will recover with a little extra love and care - in the form of water. I checked to see what was salvagable. My beetroots have been in the ground for over six months now - I unearthed a few and was pleasantly surprised with a little beet on the end. I pulled out the rest but some were much too small to eat, but I think the heat's been the main reason they haven't grown much. Nevermind, I will get some more to replant later.
I got busy in the kitchn preparing some food. I had bought some fish paste from the Asian supermarket and stuffed some chillies and capsicums with it. I didn't think to wear gloves while removing the seeds from the chillies, so my fingers were burning a few hours later (and burning for several days after).
I prepacked little zip lock bags with yong tau foo 'mixtures' so that it's quicker and more convenient for me to make supper when I get home from work at night. I made combinations of chillies and capsicums stuffed with fish paste, clam meat, prawns, okra and seafood tofu.
Simba's been craving attention since I've gotten back. I know he's been itching to go for a walk but it's just been far too hot to take him out.I headed out to catch up with friends for dinner.
We were actually going to go to Viet Hoa but they were really busy and it would be a bit of a wait for a table. Especially as we had a nine people. So, we headed up the road to Lido.
rare and cooked beef, beef ball and tripe hofan soup
I thought I'd go for something different instead of my usual. So, I this dish, which come to think of it, it pretty much the same dish minus the spicy soup.
A few of us shared a bottle of wine.
After dinner, we headed back to Benoit and Ivy's place, but not before going through the drive thru at KFC - hee hee.
