Apple Butter
This year for Christmas I decided to try my hand at some homemade treats for the people on my list. I had a hankering for some apple butter, so I found this recipe, doubled it, and doctored it to my liking. I really upped the spice factor from the original recipe. Also, I left the […]
Stuffed Eggplant
Here’s the stuffed eggplant I made last night. It was in the realm of comfort food, not too flavorful. Its taste was very reminiscent of stuffing. Next time I’m going to have to do something to give it a punch. 1 eggplant 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, […]
Thailand
My apologies for being so tardy in posting about my trip to Bangkok. So, in an effort to make it up to you, I’ve written all about it. Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat-belts. This is going to be a long post. Beth and I flew to Bangkok Wednesday night and stayed through Saturday evening. […]
Forgot charger
It seems that I forgot my iPod touch charger. So… When the battery dies, which will be soon, I’ll be out of touch until we get back to Singapore. In case of emergency you can try to call my cell phone that may or may not work.

We decided that if it was raining hard here, chances are that it’s raining hard there, especially since “there” is only an hour away. So we cancelled our plans and decided to […]
Singapore Classics Cooking Class
On Thursday I took the Singapore Classics cooking class at Coriander Leaf here in Singapore. The class itself was a little expensive, but worth every penny. We learned how to make 8 dishes, 2 of which are chili sauces. It wasn’t a hands-on class. We sat at the kitchen counter and watched the chef cook […]
Sentosa & the Asian Civilisations Museum
I had this great plan for Monday. I was going to ride the MRT to the Harborfront, take the monorail to Sentosa, hop on a ferry, and go to Kusu Island to see the temples and beaches. I was totally successful with the plan until I got to Sentosa and learned that the ferry talked […]
Durian
Ate some durian. Tastes a little bit like creamy-green onion custard and has a very pungent aroma. Spat out the first bite. Yuck.
