Domestic Diva Wannabe

I’m an ‘inspired’ domestic diva these days… Yes, I say good bye to the old recipes that just rotates weekly ( chicken curry, pasta, chikuti, sardine curry and the like). But this time, I’m actually trying out new recipes! Some are actually ‘old’ dishes but just cooking it a new way, but they do work. The more I try out, the more I get confident in the kitchen and I think it works out well too.

So for today, I tried cooking a Thai Dish called, Son in Law Egg ( khai luuk kheuy). That’s a funny name for a dish right? But it has been a favorite dish of mine after eating it first at the church for lunch.  So, I tried it cooking on my own today.. and guess what, it turned out well. My ‘judges’ loved it and said it tastes the same like what we have at church. Hmmm..  now, that makes me happy!

Next in line would be Chicken Biryani, Chicken Sambal, Nasi Lemak and etc. I will try to cook more Thai and Western recipes too.  :) Isn’t it obvious that I’m one excited ‘cook’ ?

This is how the Son in Law Eggs look like ( taken from google) my version will be posted soon as I still have to find the missing USB cable to download our photos from the camera.

There’s one site that I’ve been visiting more often for the past days. It’s the Pioneer Woman’s site, in my opinion she’s a Domestic Diva just like Martha Stewart and the rest. She’s not just superb in her cooking but also in homeschooling, photography among other things.

I love how they’re family is living in a ranch. I could imagine them in their western boots tending the cows and the horses with their orderly home and delicious food on the table. It’s almost like the kind of the pioneer families we read in the books.

Anyways, if you haven’t visited the Pioneer Woman yet, then visit her site and be inspired to be a Domestic Diva.

For the past years, I’ve been playing on the idea of doing an online shop. But since I had another part time online work, and with smaller kids I wasn’t so serious in pursuing it. But now, since my part time online work is not doing very well I’m back to pursue the online business. I’m currently doing some sort of ‘study’ on how everything is going to work out like shipping, handling and stuff. Once I get some more information, I will try to save up and work on my capital. It won’t be much like trying to invest and gold bars at Golden Eagle but I know starting small can get me a long way.
