I Spent My Monday...

Domestication has, without doubt, sparked my interest in cooking. Because, I find myself browsing the cookery section in the library and the food magazines in the local convenience store. Whatever happened to those fashion magazines and my once-upon-a-time regular unhealthy doses of US tabloids, I am clueless.

One magazine caught my eye this hot Monday afternoon. It has 2 of my greatest loves - food & travel. Pages after pages of fantastic recipes and good eats.  And coincidentally a few good pages of valuable travel information I just so happen to need. Life is wonderful when things just fall into place, isn't it?

I spent the rest of the afternoon flipping the pages of this magazine. In search of a recipe that contains ingredients which are readily available in our newly done-up kitchen. Much to my delight, there is one. And it will exhaust bulk of one item in my cabinet I badly want to get rid of. I couldn't be happier.

The timer of the oven sounded. The kitchen was filled with a rich coconut aroma. My coconut tart was ready and had a nice golden brown exterior but soggy interior. Taste good still though. Having said that, nobody was keen to give it a try.
