Selcouth.: Blatant Change in Palate

Either the world has moved on or I should really go through a period of comtemplation.

On the Valentines Day potluck of the English Society, I recall helping Pn. Usha making sandwiches. Sally Ann and Catherine were helping too.

Pn. Usha frowned when she saw us (in our clumsy attempt) putting the cucumbers and tomatoes on the margerine covered breads.

There were "Argh"s and "Omg"s.

Some cucumbers dropped on the table, some tomatoes landed on someone's hand. "Omg, it's so squishy..."

Then Sally Ann said, "We fail to be housewives."

We're not even halfway there.

Was talking to Yu Seng during Physics/Chemistry class when we came to the topic of cooking.

Chery: You know how to cook meh?

Yu Seng: Of course. Next time can cook for my wife ma~

Chery: Sure it's good for the baby?? Not hazardous?

This is weird. A guy my age knows how to cook (and he said he enjoys cooking). Freaky.

Yu Seng said he can cook fried rice. This picture is just an example, I don't think his fried rice so colourful.

Jason told me about his friend's birthday party and how they all cooked together in their friend's kitchen.

Chery: Wa... 4 guys in a kitchen, chaos la~

Jason: Yea, almost... but it's still edible.

Chery: Sure?

Fine. I think he's a scout of something. Scouts know how to cook. But still, weird.

I was debating (if it's considered a form of debate) with Alvin on whether or not Char Siew can cause diabetes. Well, congratulate me because I won (stop eating Char Siew now, can cause diabetes). Then he said he was hungry and off to cook something.

Staring at the screen, I thought my short-sightedness just exacerbated.

Chery: You can cook?

Alvin: Yup, you mean you can't?

That's so insulting...

Alvin cooks something like this when he's hungry, kinda oily (and I wonder what are those fat yellow chunks)~

Yesterday, Nigel gave Mr. Sean a bowl of escargot sauce.

Mr. Sean: Thank you, Nigel. *looks at us* Nigel made this sauce to go with escargot.

Chery: Sir, is it edible?

Mr. Sean: Come, smell it. Don't underestimate Nigel.

I admit it smells divine. Till the end of the class did I know that it was actually made by his mom (paiseh).

Since when did all the guys I know mastered cooking?

And most of the girls I know still can't decently fry an egg...

Excluding me of course, at least I know how to fry an egg nicely.

And I know how to cook spaghetti!! Really la, that was really my magnum opus ok? Looks nice and edible, right??

Even 'Young, Smart and Published' Lim May Zhee agrees with me --- spaghetti is the work of a genius. So easy to cook and it galvanizes everyone's palate.

There are 4 options for me now:

-- Oblige mom's incessant nagging to learn how to cook

-- Find a husband who knows how to cook
