What do I do when I have spare time?
Experiments!!!!
And you wont be surprise to discover the number of lab equipments that I have destroyed (like Bunsen burners, brown glass jars, beakers, boiling tubes – to name a few) while I discovered my talents and nurtured my interests some 20 years ago… (and not to mentioned how I pissed off the lab teacher with my nuisance).
So…. What did I do last (looonngggg) weekend?
One
My daughter loves ‘cokodok’… with prawn & anchovies, minus the shredded onion and ‘taugeh’ and chopped ‘kucai’. It’s veggie-free ‘cokodok’. Last weekend, I added an egg to the cokodok mixture, half portion of fresh milk and half portion of condensed milk. Of course, a pinch of salt will add to the taste… and voila!!!!!
I ended up with a huge basket of rich, creamy and mouth-watering ‘cokodok’, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside….. beats Jamie Oliver! Definitely!
Two
Every time my mom does her laundry, the whole house smells like Downy (a brand name for fabric softener, if you haven’t been visiting the hypermarket lately). … and the smell lingers up till the clothes go into the wardrobe.
.. and I kept on wondering why that didn’t happen when I did my laundry over the weekend. So last Thursday, I tossed my dirty laundry into my washing machine (which constantly begs for mercy because of its old age). So determined to end up like my mom’s clean laundry, I poured 2 full cups of detergent and 3 full cups of Downy. I pushed the START button and the machine started working. The machine is so old that it gives us Hurricane Katrina, every time, whenever it spins. The results??
Voila!!!! …. even the house smells so flower-fresh…. and so I found the magic formula.
I was a happy Scientist (duh!) at last.
