Despite having a late morning, today due to the usual Friday night festivities (Vball, ipoh and boardgames till wee hours of the morning) I was able to do everything I needed to do and I was able to cook dinner for tonight because Mom's been under the weather lately (There is speculation that I prossibly gave it to her last week.)

Anyways, so what did I prepare? Well I cooked a dish called "Middle-Eastern Lamb Casserole." I have never eaten the dish before, but Mom found the recipe and really wanted to cook it. So I put my hand up as I have been wanting to dust off the mini mouse cooking apron I got from Hong Kong Disneyland and practice my 'real life' cooking mama skills.

I will admit that at first I was kind of daunted, because it has been a while since I've worked the kitchen, but once I got started it was a-ok. Prepared the ingredients, chopped, diced, sliced, grind... the usual, but then when it came to the lamb... crap. I've never extracted meat for the purposes of dicing it up from where it was still on the bone. This was definitely a culinary challenge. Took me a good 30-40 minutes, but I was able to complete the mission without a trace of meat left on the bone *Hooraaah!*

After that it was down hill from that. Cooking mama style, I added the ingredients at the appropriate times, I adjusted the flame at the correct time and made amendments to the dish at my discretion as I tasted it every few minutes. At this moment it is simmering at a low heat and filling up my house with a spicy warm yummy aroma!
