More culinary adventures

I'm getting confident enough to cook Thai food without looking at recipes. Last night I cooked:

Choo chee fish
Long beans with pork, roasted chilli paste and basil
Chinese celery with beancurd
Coconut milk soup with mushrooms, fried beancurd and cuttlefish balls
Steamed rice

I only used a recipe for the choo chee sauce.

The other thing I like about this kind of cooking is how cheap it is. I did the ingredient shopping yesterday and spent less than $20 which included a bunch of fruit. We had a great meal and have a fridge full of leftovers. Can't beat that.

This is hilarious. Thanks, glowingwhispers!

That ODI

A few days ago, as some of you may have noticed, Australia and South Africa put on 870 odd runs in a 50 overs game. I have located a torrent of this game but the best speed on it that I can get sucks mightily. Is it worth six days to download the thing? Hmmm.

Kittens away.

Three healthy little boys got their microchips and went straight into adoption about an hour ago. They weighed in at 810g, 950g and a hulking 1130g.

Jane is asleep in my lap purring. Kittens are a Very Good Thing.
