I have been asking around for a recipe for Thai-style fried fish, but, until now, no one has given me any replies, because those whom I've asked have either kept a low profile after that or feign forgetfulness every time we chanced upon each other!  In fact I've been waiting for one such recipe from a particular friend for almost a year now!

I'm so used to eating Beriyani, Nasi Minyak, Tomato Rice and Coconut Rice, that too many good things too often can make you feel, well, tired of them.  That means it's time to search for other creative ways of preparing the ubiquitous rice!

It's off to matriculation college for another visit.  My daughter called the missus earlier this week and she was wondering if we could come and visit her.  At the same time, she also gave a menu of the dishes that she wanted us to prepare and bring over.  Demands, demands!

The preparation of this dish has been long overdue and my better half has been sulking due to the delay.  She has, in fact, been asking me to prepare it since way back, ever since she had the less than satisfactory verstion of this Spaghetti Carbonara at one of the so-called famous Pizza outlet! In fact, after one mouthful, she shoved the plate to me, and I, in turn, shoved it to one corner of the table; forgetting about it forever!

Okay.  This entry is definitely not about food!  But it does have something to do with one of my tiny corners.  In this case the tiny corner is in the teachers' common room in school.  In my seventeen years here, this is the fourth room that I have moved into; in other words changed teachers' common room.

Last Saturday, during my weekly visit to the Saturday morning market, I chanced upon this new fruit seller who was selling oranges!  Not that there was no other people selling oranges, but this guy was literally giving his oranges away.  Navel oranges which usually went for RM5 for 10, was sold at the same price but for 25 oranges!

I don't usually take recipes from local magazines to try out in my tiny kitchen.  I specify local magazines because I have had a few disasters where the recipes did not result in similar looking dishes or cakes shown in the magazines.  In fact, some were totally inedible.
