BTW, my bathrobe's usually pink

Other than that,

~ My first ang-moh dish ~

Everytime Adrian and Doreen talk about their ang-moh (read: 'red-haired', to really mean 'caucasian') daughter-in-law, they talk about the fact that she actually googled the recipe so she could make Chris Teo his popiah - all the way in America.

They seem very proud of the fact that she made such an effort to serve her husband his Singapore savouries - even if they are totally foreign foods to her.

In the spirit of learning to serve my own husband's needs in my own interracial household, I took it upon myself to try and make a zucchini slice.

Nevermind that he didn't grow up eating the stuff.
Nevermind that he's never even had a craving for the dish.

The important thing is that it has cheese and bacon in it, doesn't involve using rice or noodles, and is therefore a bona fide ANG-MOH DISH. I've also been promised that it's dead easy to do.

As with anything I do, it never turns out as easy as it says in the book.

I had to grate the zucchini and the carrot. Having hardly used a grater since we got married, I soon found that our K-mart grater couldn't grate jelly if we tried. I ended up chopping everything into tiny, teeny bits using a CHINESE CLEAVER. See, even with ang-moh food, I had to resort to using something Asian. Pfft.

But yes, after that was done with, I followed the rest of the recipe, decided that we could do with more eggs and improvised, hoped for the best as I shoved it in the oven set to moderate, and voila!

This, my friends, is my Zucchini Slice.

Just think of it as a giant quiche, if you will.

This is me, looking rather dazed that it looks normal.

Yes, I Actually Baked That Thing!

Seeing how this week has absolutely bombed job-wise (I was just informed today that I lost out in clinching an interview because I don't have a driver's license), the least I can do is pretend that I can fall back on Professional Housewifery.
