I'm almost tempted to draw out (more like copy from my old notes) the 5 sensory pathways of tastes and post it up here... but that would be too nerdy and this food diary is supposed to be fun and easy. Some other time perhaps. For now you guys are off the hook. :P
Anyway, I got bored of the same old stuff--Cheetos, PB, oatmeal, bread and cheese etc.--and decided on a whim to try out something new. So new I don't even know what to call it, except the only possible word that aptly describes it: FAILURE!!! Yes. Embarrassing to say, it was a failed experiment. What did I make? Ugh, trust me you'd rather not know. But too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway. I stir-fried celery and carrots with some Indian spices--anise seeds, cumin powder, cardamom seeds, chili and curry powder, and drench it over my Chinese flat noodles. Not sure if there's a specific name for that kind of noodle, but think of it as somewhat similar to ramen except its thinner, flatter and tastier. (And if you're Malaysian, it's the Hakka mee's noodle.)
I guess I must be missing some ingredients, or perchance it was just a horrible combination. For starters, I don't even have garlic, onions and ginger--the 3 most essential ingredients in Chinese cooking--in my kitchen (can't blame me, I rarely cook these days and I don't want to buy them and let them go to waste). It could be a lot of reasons why it didn't turn out right... But I haven't had a clue. So when I perfected my noodle dish I'll take a picture of it and share the recipe here! For now... I think it's safer to stick to my PB and Cheetos. Hah.
That's pretty much what I had for lunch and dinner- hey, someone has to finish the cooked food right!? Had cereal and fat free milk for breakfast. And lots and lots of coffee that got me a little too hyped up.
Highlight of the day: my failed experiment. Midterm paper's progress: 80% done. :)
