But, I had a ball of a time at dinner and even before that. I was assigned to cook curry and a dessert for the dinner and being the ambitious person that I am, I've decided to cook chicken curry from scratch and at the same time make a lime tart for the dessert. To put things in some perspective, the prep time for the curry is pretty long (mainly I don't have the right equipment) and whenever I make a tart, the shortcrust pastry for the tart base almost always goes wrong. I'm guessing 9 out 10 times it will fail in some way or the other and I still haven't quite perfected it yet. Miraculously, I managed to finish the curry and the tart in what I would call a personal record time. AND, the best part is that the tart succeeded in every way imaginable which is a very very rare occasion indeed. The other dishes prepared by the rest were veggies and cereal prawns, the one dish to bring together all of us to one place. Great dinner though we all kinda agree that the cereal prawns were missing something. Then for the dessert, the lime tart came and the moment of truth for the taste. It was just a tad bit sweet but I liked the filling but the crust was AWESOME!! It was like the best crust I've made to date and it was crazy man. I was also glad that the others followed suit as well. Gives me more motivation to bake again. After a rather long drought of baking, it's starting to fire up again. All of those who are not benefiting from this wave of my cooking and/or baking, too bad! =P
And as always, the news:
Apparently 3 cups of coffee a day for women over 65 works wonders but not so in men. Daymn...
Until now I still don't know why no electronic system has been deployed for soccer. This ball is cool though.
Some research questions eventually make history. Others, not so much.
For those who haven't heard, Obama did what no other president since Roosevelt, pass a bill on health care. Sure the public is skeptical but still, think of what this black man has done. Crazy stuff man. One of the interesting facts about the win was that even though the vote was very tight, the bill was passed without a single Republican vote.
Very interesting article from an atheist slightly touching on the Atheists Convention held recently here in Australia.
It turns out some celebrity Twitterers do care about others who follow them.
Seriously? A Malaysian billionaire wants to get the rights for AFL matches? That's just plain weird.
I've always wondered about this.
I love this watch. I can has?
Out of reach, out of the league
Nothing to express, let alone speak
I guess I'm tired, a little fatigued
Of being a person with little intrigue
Emotions can really betray
We hope, we try, we break, we fray
How can I trust what I think or say
So I'll just sit here, swing and sway
