Restaurant City in Point Cook, Melbourne

our dearie home chef Mr JS got home from golf and headed straight to the kitchen
still in his golf attire and socks :P

with all the fresh ingredients available at the local supermarket
we cannot resist not to cook
fresh tomatoes, onions, tonnes of basils, prawn heads, celery
all ready to bake....just to get its jus to make a simple pasta
the amount of work.
sigh~~~~~~
when i mentioned the amount of work
u'll know why
all the chopping and cleaning

JS's format is like cooking show
lay all the chopped/cleaned/needed ingredients in small lil bowl
he called that "mis-en-place"
-_-"
just like michelin star chef
I call him michelin tyre chef :P
while I Ching and Prince C busy washing cleaning
washing cleaning washing cleaning
more washing cleaning
then wiping and more wiping before storing it back where it should be

I lurve I Ching's shirt :)))))))
"I'm Single"
and on its back
"call me"

lay the table neatly and watch chef cook

while waiting, we cam-whored
lil Caden is such a heartbreaker
at 1.5 years old he knows how to manipulate everyone's heart
and mind and SOUL~~~~~

"dun do that?"
Lil Caden: "why?"
"I said dun do that!!!"
Lil Caden: "why?"

sigh~~~~~~

"Let's take pic!!!"
