Life as it is

I love staying home, sitting in front of my iMac, surfing away food blogs and lifestyle posts, drinking tea, listening to my bossalounge playlist and thinking stuff to cook- though this hardly happens.
When my eyes get really tired facing the screen, I ll grab my book and read it on bed. I practically finished 3 books within a span of 2 weeks, time to get new ones!

Boyf and I have been attending French lessons every Sunday morning, not exactly revising too much considering we missed the first lesson. Soon we'll both be really proficient enough to roam around the streets of France eating Mille-feuilles and watching French dvds without subtitles.

Crayon has been really adorable, he was practically a raccoon doppelgänger when I first met him with really bad tear stains from too much crying initially and now they are all sparkling clean and cream. He still can't pee in his area though but being barely 3 months old, I guess that's fine.

Heres a mega cute video of him doing his first trick. 



Gotta run to head out for tea and some French revision with Boyf! Was supposed have dinner at Coastal Settlements with Boyf and his friends but they are fully booked for dinner. Fully booked! I can't believe it cos we went there countless times and they are always so deserted and empty, thats what i love about the place-the seclusion. Guess we gotta hunt for other places now.  Au revoir!

As we cook away

Once upon a time, we signed up for a cooking class.
Boyf's sister was organizing and that particular event was just short of two people so we went for it.
It was hell fun and we were practically eating throughout the lesson, well at least I was. :)

Yes I can cook damn well

 Class ended on a pretty good note, considering that we polished off almost everything we cooked in an instant. We smelt like everything else in class except ourselves though. At least now I can make kickass tomato soup alongside aglio olio,  buttered mushrooms, pan seared asparagus and peri peri prawns. (All my experiments the past couple of months)
