I woke up today and as I do everyday, I spent a short while looking at my fish. The tank's looking great now that I've gotten more fish. Lots of little groups of fish doing their own thing, going about their own business.
Pork Chop with Cranberries
and Whitlof
With the whitlof, I quartered it and fried it in some olive oil. Remembering a tip from 'Ready, Steady, Cook', I squeezed the juice of half an orange over the whitlof to take away the bitterness. With the pork chop, I panfried it and threw in some dried cranberries to cook in the pan juices when the chop was almost done.
This is the first time eating whitlof for me. I don't know whether I didn't add enough orange juice, or if it was really bitter to start with, but I didn't like it. It was too bitter for me. The cranberries were great though - they caramelised in the panjuices and added some sweetness to the pork.

I am particular about the bee hoon I eat. Sometimes my mum buys a thicker sort, which I really don't like. So, I always make sure I stock up on the sort that I do like. I prefer the thin bee hoon. As you can see in the picture below, there are two different sorts. I love the thinnest sort you get on the left, and the sort on the right is slightly thicker but I don't mind that - it's still thinner than the type my mum buys sometimes.
I think it's absolutely adorable that Simba sleeps with his head on the pillow just like a human whenever he sleeps on Christina's bed.
