I went nuts today doing something that was most Auntie-like - I spent 2 hours at Temple Street, shopping for kitchenware. In my defence though, the place had 3 kinds of people in them. Aunties who somehow know how to get kitchenware straight from the distributor, Tai-Tais who were mostly gathered around the fine china section, and ... MEN. 2 were chefs (Brotzeit's chef was there today, ordering some stuff), and the rare home cook. Sure beats the hell out of the gender distribution in a lingerie shop.
As could be expected, I grossly overbought stuff. I wouldn't say that I overspent - I simply bought stuff that I think I would need. You know, the usual "I probably could find a use for this" thing when you walk down Daiso. I think Yx will be happy with a couple of my purchases though - I got us a 12-piece shotglass set, 2 beautiful salt and pepper grinders at $14 each (I swear the same thing is going for $35 and up apiece at department stores), 8 pieces of dining plates at a third the usual price, and a knife! OK, there are some other $2 items that form the miscellaneous .. sugar bowls, ladles etc. And now I'm stuck with a whole load of stuff that I can't find a place for in the kitchen.
Anyway, here's the revelation - I decided that I'm going to stop cooking regularly. No, that's not a typographical error. I'm going to STOP cooking regularly. The game now is to cook 4, maybe 5, times a year. These will be full-fledged meals though, from starter all the way to dessert. (
shiiiitt ... dessert ... I can't do these for nuts!!)
Hmmm ... actually it does sound a little silly. I have a hint of suspicion that somewhere down the line another little culinary adventure will pop up when I least expect it. Like if I chance upon that amazing streaky tuna in the store that I simply can't pass up. We'll see! =)
