browsing the net for recipes whilst hungry

i have been doing this for the last 4 hours (okay i did my laundry too in between so it's not that long) and i was thinking, if i am ever going to get married, i would have to learn how to cook eventually. so i saved some for future references. but the problem with these recipes, however awesome they might be, are that they cater to western people mostly as the ingredients are really hard to find here in Kuching (probably) let alone Miri. or maybe i just don't know where to look. Hmm.
anyways, i have heard of improvising (trust me i do it a lot) but there were just so many recipes to substitute ingredients with that i gave up doing it. i am also not brave enough to do my own food experimenting. so i thought again, if i was married, of course i'll marry a Malaysian guy, which most probably wont have appetite for western recipes. i had a Homer Simpson moment of D'oh! when i realized that. so i search for Malaysian recipes and so far found a few satisfying enough such as Grandma's Malaysian Meatball Curry and Cheese Baked Rice (okay the latter is not really Malaysian but it has rice in it!), Nasi Lemak with Crispy Rice (i mean come on, who doesn't like a good nasi lemak?) and i think i better start looking for mee jawa recipes as well. i want my kids to say that my cooking is better than what anyone can offer. ngee. i know, tuaija la sangat. haha! i have all these wonderful recipes and still the reality remains: I'm eating Maggi for dinner. i wish they let us cook here. at least we'll develop our cooking skills for the future.
speaking of here, i have collected 5 assignments if possible to be done while on Christmas break which starts on Saturday. two article summaries, one Islamic warrior assignment, one group website comparison, one individual website comparison. i am still in the clouds for now. i am still fooling around so i better go and make some research. tomorrow maybe. heh.
by the way, i am coming back home for the break and i already have a list of things to buy and do once i'm home. i am really excited but at the same time i just know that I'm going to be crying on the flight back here and my cough is getting really out of control. ugh. and i'm getting kind of hungry so i better get off so bye!
p/s: if you don't have anything nice to say, shut your mouth. you don't know the real situation. try putting yourself in her shoes. i bet you would do an even worse job, since you don't usually log onto your fb a lot. *teraseke* i say, if you really want to complain, think of other things you can be thankful for. thanks.
