♥ cooking dinner for one!
while the parents were away the past few days, i've been cooking myself dinner
i need to learn how to make a different type of salad - i've had it three days in a row lol
anyways, the lamb was already marinated (bought from IGA) and it was actually really tasty, came in a pack of three, so ate one, and the next day louis came over and so had the rest of dinner. and for the chicken breast i just fried. did you know that one piece of chicken breast costed me $3! pft.
so anyways, not really anything recipe based, but just involving the frying pan. man cooking is time consuming. when you include the cleaning up too.
oh and last night i also made a cheesey dip for community lunch (with carrot sticks)
forgot to take a photo. but was pretty happy with it :) and i think people liked it haha.

♥ peppermint slice
so after finding a recipe in the STM for peppermint slice, i figured i'd try to make it (instead of always buying the one at uni for $3/slice.
Look wise, it turned out okay. Not as smooth looking as it should be, but hey, i don't cook remember.
It was very easy to make, basically melting chocolate and adding vegetable shortening and peppermint essence.
The most difficult bit was finding the chocolate melting pot i have, since my mother had packed it away in a box (under another 8 boxes) in the computer room.
So anyways. i sliced it up..
note... i am really bad at cutting things so that they're all the same size..
and yeah. lots of it just crumbled *sad face*
Yeah, it's really sweet heeyy...
thats what you get from using nestle melts!
i also learnt how to make pancakes at lifegroup. haha. we melted some of the peppermint slice and stuck it into the pancake mixture... surprisingly worked to some extent.
