Home alone

(Yea I know, been awhile, I shd post the other entry first before this one.. Bla bla bla)

So a while ago I got myself a curry mix pack coz I was curious about how coking one of those would taste like. Never got around to making them until now heheh. It's the Vermont Curry (mild) - curry with a touch of apple and honey ( I got this one coz I don't like my food spicy :p) that's what it says on the front of pack and the back has directions that requires me to have meat, onions, potatoes and carrots to accompany the sauce. Since I've already got everything else except the meat, I went to buy a chicken boneless breast meat last night so that it'll be fresh.

Since my parents went back to my country of origin, leaving me and brother alone, and bro is out tonight, and I'm lazy to order delivery (been doing that for the past few nights now) I decided to be a bit productive with how today went. So here's what I did:

First I cooked the rice since I know that will take about an hour to cook. Then I got the ingredients out. Shot a picture. Cut the onion, potatoes (I cut extra coz I like them), carrot, hack the chicken and cut myself in the process(jk). Take another picture.

Don't really wanna cook it straightaway since i just cooked the rice. Read the instructions. Noticed that the last step requires 20 min. In the meantime, I did one batch of laundry (washing machine), clean the dirty dining table, cleaned just a bit of my room? Then I proceed to cook! Yay! How exciting!

Sautéed the other ingredients. I put my onions over the olive oil first, followed by potatoes and carrots and last the chicken. Direction says that I have to continue until they are brown but I think it's good to go when the chicken is white. Shot another picture. Drench the whole thing in a cup thereabouts of water (I cut the recipe down to about a third) and wait a while until it boils while stirring. Take another picture. Then comes the fun part: the curry mix!

So I just broke the 'cubes' and use 2 parts (there were 6 'cubes') and I started mixing. At this point the rice is done (I overestimated myself) and I gave that a stir. Now comes the fun part: since stirring is such a brainless activity, I decided to multitask (yes you read it correctly guys, I multitask) between stirring the pot until the curry thickens and cleaning up aka wash dishes from prev night and utensils knife etc haha

Served myself some rice. Stopped the fire. Scoop some onto the plate. Take another pictu- TA-DA!!
