Your poor DS, someday, when he's much older with his own place, and maybe he brings home a somewhat shady lady....and they end up falling asleep, and then she leaves while he's asleep, he'll be scarred from the time he woke up alone without his mommy when they slept in his tent as a young boy! He'll be afraid of women and be scarred for life!

Sadly, it's too late. It's not the first time "some shady lady/mommy dearest" has left him whilst he's been asleep.

My mum took the hint and ordered Chinese last night
I'm really subtle...
as a...
Sledgehammer....


Now we have leftovers for the rest of the weekend

Sadly though she didn't get BBQ pork in plum sauce which leaves me rather disappointed.....sigh......

Currently watching "Rove in LA" which is actually really good. Much better than his long stint in Oz.

 

[franandaj]

We'll have leftovers for days!!!!!!

 

[PrincessInOz]

No, I'd planned to pick up chinese for linner, but I had to buy stuff at the grocery store, so I ordered it as I was heading for the checkout so I could pick it up on the way home. You've got to love the Chinese, when I walked into pay for it the lady at the counter say, "lot of people" as if we'd ordered too much food for two people!

We'll have leftovers for days!!!!!!

You gotta love the Chinese.....'LRot' of "pee-prel" indeed!

 

[PrincessInOz]

I haven't worked out what's for dinner yet.....or is that a different thread?



Queenie - I hope you're happy! I've updated BOTH the HK PTR (yes I saw your response) and the 2007 TR with Sacramento!

My fingers are tired!

We are always having a "party"

 

[PrincessInOz]

Maybe I can convince the boys to have 'party' tonight as well.

Is that possible? Everytime I get take out chinese, the left overs rarely make it to the next day.

What's the point of having a mum of Asian descent unless Mum cooks the Chinese food??

I was thinking it might be nice for take-out...just for a change.

 

[queenie82]

Ahhhh....there it is
Thanks

I've been told sweet and sour is only red because of red vinegar...
You can make the flavour traditionally and it isn't actually red...
That right?

So kind of stuff do you get when you get takeaway??

 

[skiingfast]

Sometime I wonder if people , take more time setting up food for pictures, that they do preparing it to eat.

 

[PrincessInOz]

My version of sweet and sour sauce is based on that traditional ingredient of good old tomato sauce.

Red is usually a food colouring addition. Even red vinegar would not get you to that bright red colour of the sauce we're used to seeing.


We get a mix of things. Depending on whether we're eating Thai, Chinese, Indian, Japanese or Malaysian. If we're doing Chinese take-away, we get the special fried rice, providing it's vegie-'pesky'-tarian; DS loves sweet and sour; so we normally get that, DH needs a mixed vegie stir fry with tofu and I get to choose the last dish...a protein of sort.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Sometime I wonder if people , take more time setting up food for pictures, that they do preparing it to eat.

In my case, my picture shots have to be VERY QUICKLY taken. Stir fry and long set-up times for cameras do not mix.

So, by inference, I spend more time preparing food for eating; than setting up a camera for food porn.

And for the record....even before I picked up a camera, I was always preparing my food and arranging it similar to how they look in the 'before' shots. Just something that you pick up as a child to do from the various mother's and auntie's kitchens. It is more efficient to have things in tidy piles before you start cooking....as with stir fries and Asian cooking, you need to have ALL the prep done beforehand.
I haven't done anything special or different since getting my camera.

It makes it easier to have the ingredients ready. Has anyone heard how Fran is doing?

 

[PrincessInOz]

No update on Fran since this morning...she was cranky. The nurse came late.

Hopefully she is full of beef and broccoli. I mean Alison.

 

[PrincessInOz]

It's mid-afternoon here. And even DS has put himself into bed for an afternoon nap. I guess he didn't sleep that much in the tent either!

I think I'm going to head down on the bed.

Catch you all a bit later.
