Chicken with Mushrooms and Bamboo Shoots

Vietnamese Grilled Pepper-crusted Chicken Breast

Steven's lunch today. It tasted as delicious as it looks here.

This Thai Tofu in Tamarind Sauce was Steven's lunch last Thursday (5 April). The texture of the fried tofu was great but I was a bit heavy-handed with the tamarind sauce so it was a little bit too sour. If I had put more sugar then it would have turned in to a candy.

Blasting my ears

A package arrived today from Amazon UK. I have been wanting to buy these blu ray discs (Hurt Locker and HBO's The Pacific) for a few years and I am so happy that I was able to place that order.

I am sure my speakers will get a good workout in the next few weeks as these two titles are popular for their sound effects. I do not think we will have termite problems.

Thank you, Steven, for allowing me to splurge!

I love photography. I have spent a lot of money on my equipment and I am always seen carrying my pink camera in social settings and even at work.

I love cooking. I feel very relaxed and excited while doing it. I have several cookbooks and feel happy seeing, smelling and tasting food as they leap from the pages into my wok.

But I am not sure if I should combine the two. Last Friday, I was in a hurry to prepare Steven's lunch because I also had to go to work. Here is the result:
