Monday night cooking session

Monday night's dinner was a very simple dinner: Spiral Pasta with Creamy Sundried Tomato Sauce + Mixed Beef & Mixed Herbs



Added 1 teaspoon of sugar to the mix as well to tone down the sourness abit.. This is the best tomato-based pasta dished I've cooked so far. I really liked it and had the leftovers for dinner today.

Anyway.. I didn't get through to the 2nd Safeway interview.. =(.. Found out about it yesterday.. was quite disappointed. Nevertheless, it was a good experience, especially since this is the first time I've gone through the job application process and managed to get a group interview on my first try. Met a rather diverse group of people there as well. Plus, I had the opportunity to walk around the FARAWAY suburb of Preston.

I'm STILL applying for jobs here and there.. learning from this experience and hoping to finally manage to secure a job soon. Really cutting down on my spending now by preparing lunch at home =)

I have three assignments due between 8-12 May.. it's killer, but I feel that there's less pressure compared to before since I don't have anymore mid terms to study for. Mid terms here are really hellish and stressful, absolutely nervewrecking .Totally different from HELP. I find it much tougher here =S.

Cooking Journal

This is to prove that I'm an AWESOME chef (in my opinion).. haha. I have not burned down the kitchen so far or cooked anything that made anyone rush to the toilet after eating it, so I think my cooking is at the very least..edible for the masses.

Let me show you some of the stuff I've cooked so far..not in chronological order..





My first breakfast!



Just follow packet instructions.. how SIMPLE. And lazy of me.

My first spaghetti! Not bad.. but doesn't taste so good when it's eaten as leftovers..

Today I cooked chicken with my very own gravy! I liked it and I think Minda did too.. tastes something like what my mom does.. hahaha. So it's a great success!

I'm going to keep updating this post from time to time to show more of my dishes..
