So I had an idea, combined from various idea, be it a story about dream that I heard from my friends, my own experience and some theory that I came up with, on a night before I fell asleep (whatever)

So while I don't know if my story telling is up to a standard, but I'll start writing it - as a training to my imagination :P

Done for myself and my sis - let's hope new month (Lunar Calendar) is always a brand new start :)

How to obtain it? In every 1st and the 15th of the month according to Chinese Lunar Calendar, you go to those Chinese florist, and ask for mandi bunga material.

What's included? Pomelo leaves, Kaffir Lime and some flowers.

Apparently, exercising after a pint of beer wasn't a good idea.

I felt very very tired at that point of time.

If you don't believe me - try it next time :P

Few things to be ironed out before I call it a 'small milestone'

1) Getting rid of the stupid smoke alarm sound at the background
2) Stop the stupid laptop fan noise
3) Add some back vocal
4) Individual instrument mastering
5) To consider whether to get rid of guitar portion
6) Cross my finger on the proper mixing technique
7) Better singing

Then... et voila!

Fig 1a. the "ingredients"

Impressed by the taste of Leffe Brune (at a rather affordable price for Belgian dark ale), I did some research and found that some people use it to marinade meat ball.

I got some recipe and felt lazy (that's the 1st one), so I did research again.

I found that people used it to make the meat sauce for spaghetti.

I got the recipe from Ron and Winne, however, got lazy again.

Btw, this morning when I woke up, I had the urge to try out.

So went to supermarket to buy the ingredients. Fig 1a shows the ingredient I bought.

At the supermarket, I felt the laziness bug, bugging me again.

So instead of buying canned mushroom, I bought the alfredo portobello sauce (with mushroom) and cheese & cream sauce - then mix them.

I didn't feel that scared cos I know at home there are 3 other victims/guinea pig to enjoy or suffer together.

So I cut the chicken breast into pieces, and marinaded with Leffe Radieuse (Jusco only has that, but well, it's 8.2% ABV, so even better?)


Marinaded for 1 hour

Then, stir-fried with olive oil.

After stir-fried it, I mixed all of them with (another mixture of) the spaghetti sauce.

Now the spaghetti part - I forgot the how much time is it needed, so I tasted the noodle 2 times to call off the cooking session.


Here comes the result, did not look so tasty I know, but that's because I only remembered to take photo when my sister ate it half way!

So the objective of this random cookery session is mainly on the marinaded meat.

My verdict:
The taste of the beer is not evident. You can only say it's a chicken with a hint of beer.
Maybe I should use pork next time.

As for my family members, they didn't particularly find it great, but comments from them:

Sister: The spaghetti is just nice (i.e. not too soft nor too hard)
Mum: So what do you plan to cook for dinner? (my reply in my heart: dream on [I know i'm not a good son])

So that's all about my random cookery session.

Sekian.

It'll be a challenging one as I've never done such a 'complete thing' before.

It'll be a great achievement if I'm able to do it.

A milestone, to be exact.
