Ohh I am so stuffed. I just devoured a large bowl of spaghetti bolognese (I refilled it too) and a glass of orange juice, polished off with some chocolate clogs (thanks, Corie). My poor digestive system...my habits of eating too fast, too much and too late. lols. Its 10.40pm and I had my dinner 10 minutes or so ago. Im proud to say, I made bolognese sauce from scratch. If you are interested, this is what I did:

1. fry the finely chopped onion and garlic till lightly browned;
2. add diced up carrots;
3. add the mince meat and cook until browned;
4. throw in the sliced mushrooms and let it simmer until the meat is done;
5. add a can of chopped tomatoes (or unchopped, then chop it roughly);
6. add enough tomato paste until you get the right consistency for the sauce;
7. finally, add salt to taste and herbs (fresh like, basil and rosemary) or dried mixed herbs

Yesterday, I decided to do my grocery on Edgware St because Ive had enough of Tesco and Sainsbury, two (lower-end) supermarkets in UK. The problem with living in central London is that the supermarkets are small and the selection is limited. So, I decided to venture to Edgware to do my shopping. There were heaps of Middle-eastern grocery stores around...and in no time, my basket was filled with spices: whole/ground cumin seeds, fenugreek, coriander powder, cinammon, cloves, black cardamons, mustard seeds, onion seeds, red chilli powder and some more I forgot. So, it looks like Ill be cooking up Indian food again...lols. So, last night, I made my first masala tea in London :) felt like being back in India...for a short sweet moment.. haha

isn't this cute? all power points in Denmark look like this...aww

my friend's studio in Copenhagan. You know, when people talk of bachelor's pad. Well, this is it. I didnt take a great shot, but I really like the place. Its one large room, with an open kitchen, own washing machine and dryer, walk-in shower shared toilet place. very neat. So self-contained.

7 Elevens!! Oh my, I was so happy to see this franchise. they have it in both Sweden and Denmark. Boy, does it bring back good memories of HK. I realize, if you grew up with 7 Elevens, then when you move somewhere that doesn't have it, its conspicously absent.

This blog started talking about food, so its only fitting to end it with a photo of food. This was the Spanish meal we had in Copenhagan. It was the most delicious Spanish meal I had.
