domesticated...NOT

Exactly a week ago was the first day of my self-imposed hiatus from all things academic. Last Wednesday, I had my last final. It was around then that I decided to go vegetarian three times a week for a month. I had momentarily entertained the idea of doing it for a whole month, but that would be unrealistic (I'd run out of things to eat before you can say 'vegetarian'). Now that I have pretty much, absolutely nothing to do until I decide otherwise, I have been spending some time in the kitchen. I made a vegetable curry the other day, and today was asparagus with vegetarian sambal belacan and a stir-fry (broccoli, tofu, corn and cauliflower with vegetarian oyster sauce).

On Tuesday, I went over to H's to make konnyaku jelly for a dinner she was going to. Somehow, we didn't feel satisfied so we came back to my house and made cupcakes. Since I had a pot of Swiss chocolate leftover from an impromptu chocolate fondue/Taboo party I decided to throw, we stuffed bits of chocolate into the cupcake batter just before they went into the oven. The result? Pure deliciousness. Pictures courtesy of H.

And as I have said before, I'm not domestic :)
