mum's cullinary gettng worse...

that's it.. i must say it liao.. her cooking skill getting from bad to worse... esp on weekend... it's all because of a thing... MAHJONG! every weekend is her mahjong day.. and she will leave house @ ard 10-11am lidat.. so she will prepare the breakfast to dinner all in 1 shot... so u imagine.. how is she going to do all in juz a morning time..

there are many times when the fried rice she did is too bland, too much garlic, peas not cook yet, or too watery... the bee hoon she did is much like rubber band which is like she never soak enough in the water...

anyway, i'm not saying weekend onli wor.. during weekday oso, sometimes the soup not really well done ah, meat overcook ah, etc.. hai... last time she used to be better at cooking one leh.. maybe due to many factors bah..

  • she dun sell noodle liao, so QC drop
  • nowadays from time to time got my sis' maid come over with the kids to help out, so my mum dun really need to cook
  • the 2 kids are taking up her time, so she has to rush thru the cooking
now i often told her dun cook my dinner for weekend liao.. bcos those food really cmi.. weekend lots is the worst of all.. tsk... if the reason is bcos of kids, i still can take it wor.. but it's for mahjong!! wth... i cannot take that.. that's why i'm trying pick up some recipes every now and then so i can prepare my own dinner, and maybe my dad too.. though my interest in not in chinese cruisine.. hahaa.. i usually prepare jap or western food..

and the reason why i'm finally complaining here is....... she f*cking burned my curry when heating it up in the morning.. i was happy finally can let someone else, i.e. my dad, to try the curry.. but no more.. hate it.. tell me, how to burn curry when all u need to do is juz reheat it at low heat?

i may be sounding like a spoilt brat here.. my mum is doing the whole family a service - doing house chores, taking care of everyone and such.. all she wants is enjoy herself during the weekend as a break by going mahjonging.. but hey! it's not like i've never done anything okay! that's the part i dun understand.. i offered to help her before... i told her before ah, if u dun have time for weekend chores, i'll do it for you.. throw clothes into washing machine and hang them, cook dinner.. but this's her reply.. washing clothes - later u wash not clean; cook dinner - aiya, u will juz create a mess... zzz.. how am i supposed to help her when she's complaining abt me? compromising on the quality on the chores she does, and dun let anyone take over her job..

maybe she doesnt want to lose her "job" in the family.. maybe bcos by securing her "job", she then can feel the need for her in the family.. maybe she's trying hard to monopolise this "job" so no one else can take over her and she can maintain her position and her threats, "fine! i dun cook ur dinner!".. zzz.. i'm juz offering to help out during weekend, not taking over ur "job" and let u "get sack"... zzzz.. okay.. maybe i'm juz thinking too much..

but still damn it! my curry is burnt.. there goes my money..
