Mundane Happenings #6


- The above photo is the fruit of my culinary labours. It's supposed to be sujebi à la K.L. style but after looking at the image it really doesn't look like anything at all. But that's okay because it tasted freakin' amazing. And even though it may sound like self-flattery, my praises are actually directed to the one ingredient that makes anything taste infinitely better: sesame oil. 

I maintain that sesame oil is the Asian answer to Nigella Lawson's "quarts of heavy cream" that she seems to add to dishes. Butter be buggered. Sesame oil can sizzle my saucepan any day. ;)


- Instagram is amazing. It makes pictures look better than they actually are. Proof? Above photo. The original really wasn't that appealing.


- Finally went to the dentist to have teeth cleaned. Is it awkward to stare at the dentist's eyes while having any dental work done? I mean, I find it quite fascinating trying to catch a glimpse at my own mouth in the reflection of the dentist's glasses. But then again, I guess it would be unnerving to have someone staring at you for more than ten minutes. Oh well. 


- This site tickled my heart: HJ Story.


- Christmas cheer hasn't hit yet. I'll be the Grinch for a little longer yet.
