Hello everyone. Welcome to Sidney's Culinary Delights. Today, we will learn how delicious my Creamy Potato Bake is. Here's are the ingrediants:

Potatoes
Turkey Ham
Onion
Garlic
Baby Eggplant
Cherry Tomatoes
half cup milk
black pepper
Can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom and Chicken soup (yeah i cheated, but it still rocks)
Italian Herbs (Marjoram, Basil, Red bell Peppers, Rosemary, Oregano, Parsley and Thyme)
Grated Parmesan

First, microwave potatoes for 10min or till tender. During this time, stir fry the Turkey Ham, Garlic, Baby Eggplant, and Onion. Make sure Onions turn transparent, and have some pieces golden brown for that sweet aroma. Mix the condensed soup with the milk and black pepper to taste.



Once potatoes are done, pour the stir fry dish among the potatoes. Even them out, and dot them here and there with your cherry tomatoes. Then pour the soup and milk mixture over everything, allowing the goodness to seep in between the botatoes. Sprinkle lavishly with the Italian Herb and Grated Parmesan. Put into oven preheated at 220 deg cel for 25-35min, depending on how crisp you want the crust to be or creamier undercrust. Serve with Tabasco for the Spicy-food lovers.



Enjoy.

cooking is kind of an escape for me... you imagine what you wanna do, you think of what u need, you go out and get it. while buying stuff, other stuff catch ur eye. you expand on ur original recipe. you go home, judge the portions, pack the rest, i cut very delicately and slowly, so i cut for damn long. sometimes up to an hr of slicing.
?
then you cook, and watch the food 'ripen' as they call it in chinese. it metamorphosizes. It changes from inedible into edible. It's like magic!
?
but the best part is when people eat it. i might not try so hard if i knew i was the only one eating. My housemate was pretty pleased with the Creamy Potato bake hehehe. Much of the pleasure comes from seeing other enjoy your cooking. It wonderful, you feel pride, pleasure, love at the same time. There physical(gastronomical) satisfaction, as well as sating emotional and mental needs. Just so nice.

And the whole process always comes to fruition. unlike some endeavors of life. this is so sure-fire (no pun intended).

I'm probably gonna go back to Singapore fatter than i left, but if it means i'll be a happier person, and my research shows most worthwhile girls don't care as long as the guy is great, i'll be somewhat chubbier in December.
