the thing that kills all of us chefs-to-be
Monday, August 31, 20099:54 PM
Guess what. The thing is, INGREDIENTS.

Yeah sure it's a sure thing that you need ingredients to make food like DUH, but HEY, although they grow on trees, you don't own them! It's not like ingredients are free and it's not like food pops out of nowhere!

It's the hols and my dad only gave me HALF of my salary because 'It's the Hols'. But if you think logically, well yeah, a normal average student studying in a school prolly won't need that much money and if they did, it prolly meant that they're overspending.

BUT.

As a future chef, the holidays means, FOOD TRYOUTS meaning MORE INGREDIENTS meaning MORE MONEY!!!

Here's the equation fellas:

Hols = Time = Free time = Food tryouts = More ingredients = MONEY

Compared to school:

School = Lesser free time = More time in school = Free ingredients to use = LESS MONEY (Just for lunch and dinner)

Therefore, WE ALL NEED MONEY AND HALFING MY ALLOWANCE ISN'T EVEN WISE!

Free.. Or not?

The hols are finally here and I'm blogging on the second week of the holidays (I believe!). The whole holiday mood thing didn't sink in until much later, partly because of the CP competition that I've participated which, in the end, I didn't win but it's okay, it was the experience I needed (:

Except, like what Russel said, later all I get is experience and no wins.

Bleh! I will do better and he knows that! Everyone will do better with practice right? The next upcoming Salmon competition, I'm pinning high hopes on that one because it really means something to me and hopefully, I'll get to work with everyone and even the seniors and learn a thing or two from them (: That one's a harder win and I'm not expecting much from it, but I'll do my best, and so will my buddy I believe!

Anyway, did some reading on recipes that I'll do someday when I get sick and tired of home. I intend to blade but weichan's always so busy for some reason so I might be ditching the idea of even going at all (unless Micro's going). Also, I'm going to spend more time with my boyfriend and help him with his work as much as I can :D (I can understand a bit of your work! I can I can! :D)

I wanna try making Siew Mai. Oh god, siew mai.

PS: I'D LIKE TO TRADE MY DILL AND ROSEMARY WITH WHATEVER YOU GUYS GOT. AND THIS IS NOT RESTAURANT CITY. IT'S FOR REAL D:

I'd like them transplanted to a small lousy plastic cup preferably, so that I can transplant them again :D Currently looking/waiting for haoqing's mint and basil!

Contact me okay? (:

The feeling of being cheated.
Thursday, August 13, 20098:50 PM
Now I've finally understood how the girl in shopaholics felt like when she wrote something like,' to find out that it's not 100% ... ' Was the word cashmere? I don't recall. She bought some boots and realised that it's not made of some good quality material and felt very cheated.

You know, I think I feel the same way too. ):

I looked up the Chef thing I've registered for and paid 50 bucks for, just to realise that all of the restaurant offers ends on around 15 Sept 09.

That's just a few more weeks! D:

And I haven't used the card yet, and they only issued it about a month ago.

No wonder so many expensive restaurants decide to have some 'discount'. LIARS!

I just remembered the existence of my blog and I found this picture while searching for another which kinda reminds me of CCM itself.

In the picture, the poor man isn't making any progress at all cause he's being carried by some weird hand. In MY life, I feel as if once I've made progress, I get back to Square 1 after changing into a whole new environment, whole new kitchen.

As much as I hate it, I know that with these little scraps of information that I've gathered at each station can take me to greater heights in the future(: Just like the man there! I might've gained tons of leg muscles till he can walk all the way to wherever he wants to go with no problem! :D

Oh poo, I'm good at this x)

Oh. My. God.

I just saw this advertisement on the TV showing this show called 'Life after People' which totally portrayed what I had in mind after we fall under the clutches of the hinis and animals will once again walk the Earth!

Watch it please! I will too! :D
