March 10, i finally used the slow cooker today! yeah, mummy bought me a slow cooker. i brought it back from singapore this time, cos' she knows i'm always so busy with my work...i never liked standing by the stove and watching my porridge cook. i'd rather spend 10minutes cooking instant noodles than to wait for hours just to have a nice bowl of porridge.
and yep! after sorting out all the things in the house, i finally had a chance to open up that square box and start reading the basic instruction manual before i started pouring water and stuffs into the small pot! oh man....! it was so exciting!!! hehe....=)
yeah....jack was there at the kitchen when he saw me fumbling over the pot and reading the manual carefully and he was like: "what r u doing?! don't u know how to use it?!" and i replied: "do i look expert in cooking!??? hehe...*i grinned*" well well....yeah, so...step-by-step i followed instructions---i washed the pot in warm water....wiped it real clean and dry and OK! i'm off for my journey of using this pot for the first time! i stood there with my history notes for at least half an hour wondering whether if the pot would explode or whether the liquid in there would overflow....but...nothing of those sort happened! phew~
good thing! so....yeah, i was daring enough to leave the kitchen....napped for about 2 hrs...and when i returned, whoaaaaaa!!! my porridge was cooked!!! so amazinggg!!!! hehe.....
oh well~ some of you might find this boring....cos' using the slow cooker is such an easy task for you! but guess for me, i'm always excited when i try something new....! cooking especially....cos' it's like exploring a whole new world out there! guess it's part of being overseas that makes all these things seemed "wow wow!!" to me.....*grin*
