To say that I’ve been really busy lately is an understatement, and in the midsts of juggling between household chore, managing my kid, work and leisurely writing and reading, I’ve completely forgotten that my online game friends are coming for a visit. I’m sure I’ve mention to all of you before that I’m positively a gamer and I somewhat made lotsa real friends by playing the game.
Neway…as I was saying, friends…or rather my guildmates from Maplestory are coming and is plannting for a potluck cum BBQ gathering, to celebrate friendship and of course, to have fun with each other in real life rather just than in game. I have completely forgotten about the potluck gathering, and much to my chagrin, I don’t have all time in the world to cook up a storm. I wish I could just buy KFC or something as a part of my contribution, but I can’t possibly do that. I’m the eldest in the guild alliance and I have the ‘big sister’ reputatation to protect. Everyone else is bringing their own cooked food, and by hook or by crook, I’m going to have to do the same.
So I grabbed my purse and my shopping bag and made a mad dash to the morning market.
There’s not much left to be bought. Only some fresh produce
And limited selection of veggies. I couldn’t even spot my favourite baby spinach on sale. 🙁
Even the chicken are nearly sold out! 🙁
It is embarrassing to admit that I only managed to get these; some fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, chicken, fish filament, shrimps and Bombay onions. Trust the Sleeping Beauty in me to snore away until 10am, and by the time I hit the morning market, I only managed to get these. Now…what in heaven’s name I can cook up for the potluck gathering with these? Any ideas? I really could use some help here.
Cleffairy: Early bird catches the worm. So get up early if you’re a bird and wanna catch the worms before others does.
I thought u going to BBQ the chicken wings..or ur signature Coke chicken. That will be awesome.
Hahaha, Ling… can make Coke chicken, that’s for sure…but not enough chicken… I just managed to get some. OMG*dies*
Ooops sorry dunno about cooking at all totally hopeless at woking. Good luck hope you gather more inspiration and more tips.
Ohhhh…no! I was hoping to get some ideas. 🙁

I’m sure you can cook a lot of variety with those items.
I need to cook something that will make the dishes looks plentiful.
How about a pot meal? Mixed soup will be good with your ingredients.
Soup won’t be so convenient for potluck… I think? 🙁
Jie, you can make curry with these!
Jie din buy potatoes and curry powder… cannot make curry chic…
Haven’t been to the market here for a long time. Soooo lazy these days. Must be growing old.
I kinda got used to going to the market these days… can get fresh produce and in a way, cheaper too…but problem is… can’t get up early. SOBS!
Piak your head! Failed. Go pasar no planning simply grab. Piak! Piak! Piak!
Tomato oinion prawns with some shells and crab filamen make into some soup la…like abc type.
Chicken wings chop marinate with honey and soya sauce yhrow into oven n make honey chickrn wings
Cucumber slice serong stir fry with a few de-shell prawns.
Lettuce just celur air panas pour kicap on top n serve. If rajin can goreng bawang or galic and drizzle on top.
Kautim …three dishes and one soup.
Runnnnnnnnn…mamarazzi wanna piakkk piaaaakkkk me… so scary. Hahahahahahahaha!
making Tom yum?
No tomyum paste at home, sadly.
If everything can just throw into the pot will produce a delicious stew or steamboat. I like!
Hmmm…I’m the lazy kind…perhaps one pot meal or something simple will do. I like your idea, Twilight Man. 😀
Interesting! Psst.. so what did you cook up with the goodies that you bought? Bet it was a great gathering.
Cleffiary, thanks for stopping by.
Actually…I haven’t cook! Hahahahahah! Gathering is tomorrow night! 😛
