i joined livejournal a few days ago, and called my journal BANANA/democracy. creative am i not? hahaha! and no, i'm not leaving this site, however wretched it may be. my cousin told me about project 365 and 'coerced' me into taking part. seeing how my raybans are in her hands, how could i ever say no? LOL
project 365 involves a lot of photo-taking. you snap a few every single day, and post one online. it's like a photo diary, only one pic a day though. what?! i guess you choose the one photo that captures the most significant moment of the day... or something like that. it's your own thing anyway, so who cares if you dont follow the some of rules? for me, i just upload photos that i think are nice, because so far, notable moments in my life have somehow managed to evade my camera. i'm working on that though. learning to make it a habit to take my camera everywhere with me, something i dislike because of how heavy - it's heavy for a camera ok? geeez, gimme a break - it is. besides, i have a phobia of taking stuff everywhere unnecessarily as i'm terrified of losing them. i can get very sentimental when it comes to personal possessions. anyway, i said i'll be working on that.
i made dinner last night. fettuccine with german sausages and bell peppers in lemon olive oil was the main course with mashed potatoes as the side. i would have loved to snap a photo of what i prepared, but i was too preoccupied with eating. but the best thing would have to be the fact that it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. the olive oil with lemon and its rind provided a very light, subtle and delicate flavour. the sausages were divine and the peppers provided the slightest bit of fire. YUM. i wasnt a big fan of the potatoes though because some werent cooked thoroughly, resulting in bits of hard and soft potato. my mum loved it though. to make it extra rich, i added milk, double cream and butter in with the mash. mum also suggested that i mash in two hard-boiled eggs. since last night was quite a hit with the family, i can say that i'm looking forward to cooking for them again. hahaha
after dinner, we had coffee, specifically the bali blue moon coffee i bought from coffee bean that time. i have only two words, ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS. a fragrant toffee aroma with flavours of walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate, with a crisp black cherry finish; gawd, it is as good as it sounds. i had my cup with sugar and double cream. delicious! so glad i bought that damn expensive coffee. no regrets whatsoever!
i started this entry at 7 and only managed to finished it now at 11.30pm. why? well, i had to help a certain someone with their college homework which had to be handed in tomorrow. it was crazy. had to write 1000+ words from the points given. but then, what are best friends for? LOL. that someone still owes me big time though.
BIG TIME. :P
