Dipping into Chicken Korma

Something's amiss here. Oh rite... it's been days since I last cooked! Well... work was over-the-whelming and stayed late for these couple of days. Eeeee..... I HATE it...!!! Had to finish up those reports and when work late, no OT somemore! sheeesh... ain't fair is it???

So, today I made a resolution to get me butt of work as soon as the clock strike 6pm. But... that never happenned. My butt's seemed to lurve the seat immersely. Out of the freaking door by 7-ish. No worries, dinner will still be made coz I went groceries shopping at Carefour during my lunch break. I was on the roll the moment I reached home.

Chicken Korma with the works...

I had wanted to have vegetarian Korma tonight BUT "B" insisted on having chicken. So, made a dash to NTUC and bough some chickens and made Chicken Korma. I didn't stinge on the veges eventhough those chickens were in. I had my way and so had "B". "B" wollop a bowlfull of korma with errr... I lost count on how many slices of wholemeal bread "B" had?!!!

Got me some Guavas too! Big, juicy green guavas. I had one whole of this at work earlier. Everyone commented on how huge the fruit was! See... I had to walk a bit to the pantry to cut it. I offered my lady boss some and she was astonished to know this is how guavas look like whole. Apparently, she never knew guavas looked like this. She only had the cut version drizzled with assam powder from foodcourts! Jeeesh... I should educate this lawyer a bit huh???!!!
