Rawr, get in my belly #2: China!

So Leslie and Arlene came over to make orange chicken.

One thing to say: Holy shit, never put wet chicken into hot oil. BAD!

When they came over we sat and chilled for a bit. First time my sister and I tried hot cheetos and cream cheese. Fucking amazing! Then we watched Sweeney Todd...which isn't the best movie to watch when you're hanging out...and if you're cutting raw chicken. Guh...

Haha, the whole cooking experience was hella fun but equally disastrous. The flour burned in the pot and the whole house was filled with the smell of smoke. And when we tried to take out all the burnt stuff the oil started hella bubbling. Hmm...deep frying is a tricky business.

Sorry, no picture this time! Dx I got lazy after all the cooking/ cleaning that I just wanted to friggin eat!!
But here...it's an orange chicken :D

Rawr, get in my belly #1: Japan!

hahahahaha...I laughed for 2 straight minutes on that title ^^^^

Leslie and I made Japanese Tempura some 3 weeks ago. It was a day of firsts:

1. Leslie's first time cooking a full blown meal. *Confetti!!*
2. My first time going grocery shopping. Whoo, independence!
3. First time my parents didn't have to cook (well..without going out or ordering out, etc...)

note: LOTS of late posts

This was hella days ago LOL. This was for a potluck for AP lit a few weeks ago. Best. Potluck. EVER. It was a basic potluck with one rule: everything you bring has to be homemade. EFF YEAH xDD



So what started out as a disaster...


...turned out to be pretty frickin' legit!

*side note: Today, my mom told me about when the Vietnamese royalty would eat like a 5+ course meal every night. I told her "how do you know, mom? Where you THERE?" She got mad at me and told me to get back to work. She doesn't like it when I make fun of her age. ;D <3 you, Mommy

blah O__O
