I’ve been quite enjoying my stay with the in-laws for the past few months. Time sure does fly. I’ve been here for almost 4 months now.  That’s the kitchen we’ve been sharing together – ehm, actually I’ve been taking over most of the space in her kitchen. Like the time when my family came over to visit and I had to prepare a complete set of  Indonesian Yellow Rice for 10 people.  She was practically banned from her own kitchen. Poor Helen!  It is a pretty tiny kitchen for two foodies who are passionately trying to create a “wow” dish everyday.  But we did have some great fun there!  To me,  kitchen is the heart of a home, there’s always lots of  laughters and passions in there

Now here’s Helen, my mother in law, who shares the same feeling with me about self-portrait. We’re not too crazy about having our photos take.  She wasn’t very happy with her smoked fish patties for dinner,  but let me tell you, their look and taste are awesome!
