Day two in Singapore

I've put in a bit off effort after getting home today and my house is starting, only starting to look like yobbo's don't live here. I've had a fabulous day. Though i really need to cut up my credit cards and only carry cash with me. 

Bought 8 HPT's, two of which are digital and are supposed to tell you how pregnant you are. For $20 a pop you'd hope they'd tell you the sex of the child! But anyways, I'll use these two fancy ones next Fri and Sat and maybe that will give me a good idea of how viable it is. The other ones were cheapies. They were on sale 2 boxes for $20 (and 2 in each box so really 4 for the price of one) i'll start that tomorrow morning and just see what happens. Just also realised that i'm a dumbass and even though i was fully aware of the sale, i only got 3 boxes! Wtf...

Though, i always seem to have problems with these things. Peeing on a stick should not be difficult. You pee... on a stick. It can't be that hard! But for some reason, and i've peed on a hellova lot of sticks in my procreating years, for some reason, i have trouble. Bad aim, not enough, whatever! It always ends up messy... I shall say no more.

So came home to make dinner and darling daughter insisted on making jello. Luckily i had a box in the pantry and we made it together but somehow i managed to screw it up. I mean, who screws up making Jello! I was using the "normal" method and midway, ended up using the "quick set" method so now i have no idea if it will work. I mean, if you know it's gonna set more quickly, why wouldn't you just use that method all the time and not bother with printing two methods of making jello on the box!

Then went on to dinner which was going to be risotto only cause i checked the fridge. i happened to have all the ingredients. Well, i thought i did. But only half of what i needed of arborio rice. So i added basmati (risotto purists would be horrified!) but it turned out ok, thanks to the dried porcini. By the way. Get a microplane. Go and get one. Well, mine is a bootleg Scanpan version of a microplane. But i love it! Oh and another tip. Cheap Pecorino is NOT like real italian parmesan.

And by the way, a big pat on the back to me for actually cooking dinner two nights in a row. I'm just as surprised as anyone else...
