Hah. Like I could stick to plan.  Right!

But I was close :-)  It's practically what I planned.

Grilled sun-dried tomato chicken with rice and snow pea shoots (Plan)  was meant to be a piece of grilled chicken, stir-fried shoots on the side and a rice timbale (maybe - or instead, a mound of rice with something colourful mixed through).

But, it just looked wrong.  Plan B: sliced chicken breast on rice with snowpea shoots stir fried with garlic sauce.

(NB Recommend to play this list in reverse order)

Wow,  love the intro to this... try it please!

24/1/06 - 12:30am - just finished the game... this is the best thing yet from JayIsGames, even Euge is impressed.

Next stop: A case of the crabs  

24-1-06 - done! Now: Brain Hotel (different hero)

Wow, Chinese New Year is so close!
 
I stumbled across this while researching CNY stuff on Kuali and just had to add it to my blog.  Sad to hear that these sweets are disappearing - I have at least two firm favourites on that list! 

Hmm... 41 deg. C currently, 28 tomorrow, then 27 and 33 to get us to Wednesday.

For awhile now I've been battling a baffling lack of motivation to cook.  Don't know why though :-(

The hot weather also means that this is not a particularly great time to find the road home, so to speak, but then this foodie obsession has never participated in the logical processes that I try to follow in other areas *grin*

So this is why I'm currently sitting in air-conditioning (a lovely 23-25 deg C?)  contemplating what to make for the next 4 dinners or so. 

Actually, I've been enjoying a lot of mum's cooking lately which could have been a lot of good material for foodie.tv!  I didn't get any photos though but must say Mum has put a good effort in over the last week, particularly with the two kinds of kwai teow that we had last night. 

Euge declared (and I agree) that it's the best kwai teow that we've tasted in Australia and beats the restaurant versions hands down.

Sad for all of you who may not have the chance to enjoy such cooking :-)

Anyway, one of the reasons I've not been blogging as much is the  flash games I've been playing.  Particularly the 3Wish and EyeMaze games...I mean, you gotta try them out.

Last night: White Noise.  Can I recommend that you don't watch it unless you're happy for your subconcious to be scarred for the rest of your life?  Of course, if you're into horror movies then this is tame fare so go on ahead.

Not me though.

So I was playing - correction - trying to play Dark Room last night.  Sheesh.  Someday I'll get somewhere with that, but not just yet.

Anyway,  this afternoon was The Last Samurai.  And, for the gory bits, I tried 3Wish's selection.

Much more manageable..so may I recommend them to you, dear readers: Click

I've been adding stuff to the "Collapse" forum topic as interesting material comes up. 

Today I heard a speech which brings it home to Australia and downloaded the transcript to share.  If Euge is really nice to me I'll put the audio on too so you can hear it straight off foodie.tv :-)

(Whoo!  Look at that, Euge is *very* nice to me - Thanks Euge!  Oh yeh..click on the 'play' button above to hear the speech)

You can get some background context from the post in the forum topic or get the transcript by clicking on the "attachment" link below.

Went out with Mum and Dad for dinner tonight as Mum noticed a new place opening next to her regular Asian grocery store in Wantirna.

The little brother of another eatery from Box Hill, in fact.  Another little factoid - owned by a man who happens to play mahjong with a friend of Mum and Dad's.

So enough of the non-food reporting.. we thought we'd try it out because it opened on Tuesday.

Oops...didn't make a booking - they take bookings?

But Dad looked SO disappointed that they relented and suggested to wait outside for 10 minutes while they saw if they could find 4 seats.

ie.  a Sudoku game generator.

So there Euge.tv hehe..

 

 

OK.  I struggled with myself on this one.  I wanted to keep it all to myself. Feed it to you all just one link at a time.

But that would be evil.  It would be selfish.  Oh yeh...and also, a lot more work than... THIS.

Check it out.  In the grand vein of Mystery of Time and Space (MOTAS) and The Crimson Room.. but, for those of us (including me) who want lighter entertainment too, also lots of just-for-fun cool stuff.  So...I present...

...at least 20 more ways to WASTE YOUR TIME  with some fabulous flash: Let the games begin!
