Who managed to get a glimpse of the total eclipse today raise your hands? I doubt I'll see any hands raised. Apparently weather isn't on anybody's side - it's cloudy all over the view-points! Oh well, wait till year 2132 then but I seriously think that I'd be 6 feet under by then.
Anyway, ever wonder what a typical meal for us is like in Kenya when I'm the chef? What do I put shove into Nelson's poor tummy? I'm still an amateur in cooking and being a housewife so cooking ideas are extremely limited. The limited range of ingredients doesn't help either. I'll try to post as many different dishes as I can also will include some of the baking I do when I've got too much time on my hands. Whether Nelson's lucky or not, you be the judge ;)
So first on dinner table today is a combination of broccoli, chicken and soup!
A simple soup - my hubby is a Cantonese and soup plays a big role in a Cantonese household. They have soup in at least one of their meals, usually dinner. This is named ABC soup - I don't know why named as such but I supposed because of its simplicity. It's got tomatoes, carrots, onions and some put potatoes in them. Just put a couple of pork ribs with them and you'll get a wholesome soup! Very healthy!
This one looks pretty scary huh? It's chicken fillet in hoisin sauce coated with toasted sesame seeds. This is one of my "special" dishes which I try not to serve often and it's also one of my hubby's favourite.
This is broccoli with dried shrimps in oyster sauce. Broccoli is extremely cheap and it's everywhere here in Kenya (it's considered an expensive veg in Malaysia so you don't get to eat it often) so it's part of our diet almost every week but I try to alternate it. There's just that many ways you can cook a broccoli.
