I stole this off Cheryl's blog:
I'm planning to complete this, because I haven't been blogging as often as I like for the past few months now, and that's just not good enough.
Life has become so mundane and routine that there's really nothing much to write about. Plus the fact that I'm a lazy ass and would rather spend my time watching Everybody Loves Raymond and Sex and the City again and again until I can memorise the lines. Geeze.
I'm a day late so I guess I'll complete 2 days in this post.
Day 01: Guilty Pleasure
Hmmmmmm...I don't really feel guilty about anything that I derive pleasure from HAHA...I suppose it would have to be, as aforementioned, watching sitcoms again and again until my brains turn to mush:
I like shows that are light-hearted - they take my mind off stress and work and other unhappy things.
Day 02: Something that inspires you
Cooking shows inspire me. Like Masterchef, Iron Chef, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay etc.
Everytime I watch them I learn something new about cooking and the science of it all...and then I'm uber excited to try the recipes out just to challenge myself...the most rewarding part is tasting the final product and it is gooooooooood. I love baking because it's especially challenging: You either get it, or you don't. It's very technical and very specific...that's why someone who is good at cooking may not necessarily be good at baking. Any small mistake like not mixing the ingredients in a certain way can cause the whole cake to have a different outcome. People say baking is supposed to be therapeutic but it can be the cause of stress some times.
Cooking shows also inspire me to get creative with ingredients...I can mix and match and substitute ingredients and see how they turn out. The thing about me is, I can cook if I am given a recipe to follow...or if the dish is easy enough to do. I can't whip up a complicated restaurant dish like the Masterchef contestants with like 5 ingredients on the spot with no recipe...that's too stressful...but I suppose if you keep reading food magazines and watching cooking shows you will be able to develop those skills after time and practice.
So there you have it...my boring guilty pleasure and one thing that inspires me. Till tomorrow folks!! :)
