cos of the hopeless women out there... (my sister included)
who cannot cook to save their lives
not something you see in a desert everyday. 
cherub:
Oooo! so this is dedicated, to almost every single girl I know.....
i mean how hard is it to cook... its harder to clean!!!
Oceanna:
!!!!!
I was thinking more of the poor uni students...have ing to live on pizza week in week out
haha... so we made it kinda simple and approachable for most ppl to cook.
yeah, uni students also...
Oceanna:
hey..it's a long standing rule: those who eat...must clean!
cherub:
lol. u two sound like u lived in hostel before
Oceanna:

we just didn't live next to each other...=)
we just happened to sit next to each other a lot a lot...

didn't happen to me...but to my housemate at that time.
she wanted to make hamburgers so she did the prep...got out the patty, put the oil in the pan and slapped the patty in.
then she looked up curiously as asked me: why sin't it sizzling??
I looked..and she did not have her fire one!
HAHA
classic moment
Oceanna:
either that or the time chris set fire to the stove and wanted to pour water in the burning OIL
omg... he's got a masters and can't sort that out? hahahahhaha
Oceanna:
ehh..he's a PhD now...mwhaha
cherub:
haha. so i see, the more u study, the less cooking u shld do
HAHA.
the more you study -> the more money you maybe have?
the more money you have => can hire own chef?
Oceanna:
haha...no..the more you study, the more money you have to renovate your kitchen!

cherub:
noted: although Oceanna, my personal chef must cook naked.
hahaha... nigella lawson!
Oceanna:

hahahahha
nvm that... i don't want a naked chef
cherub:
oceanna or
never trust a skinny chef... so there you have one that is kinda ahem... not so wonderful prancing around with an apron... eurghs!
Oceanna:
No worries....will get you a special apron as well..
i could be the next naked chef.

i'm gonna publish the one abt how to cook rice without the rice cooker!
Oceanna:
haha! good one!
cherub:
WAh. haha. pls publish that soon, it will help a lot of
Oceanna:
you'll save all the students going overseas from lugging that huge cooker around
cherub:
Ok so why do u girls decided to publish a cooking blog?
Oceanna:
b'cos of
b'cos of nigella the goddess of the kitchen
cherub:
who is nigella, btw
hahaha
nigella lawson
Oceanna:
you don't know nigella?!?!?
Where have you been man???!?
cherub:
eh, of course i dunno nigella lawson
but i do know pamela
the hot brit chick who cooks...... with that seductive look.
Oceanna:
she's only the hottest cook around...=)
ohh .yeah..
cherub:
REALLY? where's her pic
Oceanna:
and with that accent...=)
google her name lah
I cook too, you know.
cherub:
aiyah not blonde. nvm.
how did u get inspired by her
hahhaha... no need to be blondie lah
orh... saw her cooking show.
then i was wondering in my head.
wah... everything she cooks so easy also got her own show
sure lah. she can do the accent and seductive look.
then i was wondering in my head, how often can i cook like her... with the kind of ingredients i can get around here of course.
then i realised actually i have been compiling lots of my own recipes at home
why not take it out, publicly display my affection for food?
and my sister can stop bugging me on how to cook finally?
so many of my friends all cannot cook... and i don't understand why.
Oceanna:
haha....gives a whole new meaning to public displays of affections...=)
so the best way to help them was... just write down the idiot-proofed recipes online!
Oceanna:
yeah!!
share the joy man, share the joy
cherub:
this is going to take a lot of editing. no sleep tonite.
hahaha.
Eh, how did u get Oceanna involved then?
did u kidnap her or soemthing
orhhh...
easy enough.
kidnap no lah
Oceanna:
i went willingly...
hahah!
cherub:
haha what makes u join
Oceanna:
just for the fun of it....and I pitied all the poor students out there who have to survive on their own...=)
cherub:
what is the easiest dish to do, from
Oceanna:
you tell us...it's all rather easy for us...=)
hahah... yeah
we can manage most of it easily anytime
its just a matter of prep time
Oceanna:
yep...and then there's washup time
yuck
tell me abt it
no wonder they need so many helpers in kitchen
cherub:
lol. so wats the fastest dish, including washup and prep time
Oceanna:
=_
hmm....
hmmm
zero washing?
baked salmon
Oceanna:
yeah....eat and throw away
throw away the aluminium foil straight after cooking
close to zero prep time
Oceanna:
goes for the chicken wings too
yah manz
cherub:
haha.
so whats the MUST DO dish u would recommend to readers.
Oceanna:
think you're getting the hang of this jounalism thing Cherub...=_
I vote for the peaches and cream dessert...=)
i'd go for tomato salsa
its healthy and matches most fried stuff you cook at home
my aunt had a great party with the sauce!
Oceanna:
haha...tastes good on bread and with tortilla chips!
the aunties all loved it
zigackly!
no cooking required. just tossing!
Oceanna:
yeah!
and the peaches and cream one is just whipping and pouring..
some dexterity with the can opener is needed though
cherub:
lol.
Okok. whats one advice u would give to someone who knows nuts abt cooking...and is abt to embark on that journey..
R u a lousy cook as well?
hahahha
hmm
start learning how to marinate first.
Oceanna:
yeah....
marinations save a good deal of effort on cooking prep
Oceanna:
will be good to learn basics too...like what is a tablespoon and teaspoon
cherub:
wah, tablespoon is bigger hor!
if you can marinate, can cook.
Oceanna:
you'd be surprised..
hahah
true.
Oceanna:
oh yeah..and how to turn the stove on
the farnee aussies
Oceanna:
man..the aussies just barbecue...
just like the south africans
Oceanna:
Personally, i think pasta is the easiest
until you over cook the damn things
hahah...
i think cooking needs great creativity
Oceanna:
agreed
but even if you can't, just learn from books.
i started with brocolli in dark soya sauce lhe
nobody likes to eat my food initially
but you got to keep trying
now i cook for a household of 30 every CNY
harhar
Oceanna:
way to go man!!
yeah...start simple, build up, imagine different lavours together,
yeah
what you can imagine, you can cook. that's what i believe in.
Oceanna:
when someone points out a spice/flavour, take note and see if it can go with anything else...=)
yeah!
cook from the heart..and stomach of course
i think those crummy cooking shows that tell ppl to cook with their heart has a point
you would tend to reaaaaally do better when you are in the right mindset
Oceanna:
yep..or not too hungry
cherub:
thats a looong list of advice for our readers out there
Oceanna:
heh
it's only advice....they can pick what they want to listen to..=)
cherub:
lol.
Any last word?
*cue*
haha...
never trust a skinny chef!
then u can trust me lor...
