Half a Roasted Pig, 5 Hungry Students and A River of Custard

Hey all,

Its been a long time since I last wrote on this, most likely to me procrastinating, being lazy and having exams any week.

Anyway here are the pictures of my Rhubarb & Apple crumble, as well as a separate Apple crumble.

I gotta apologize for the blurry pictures, I haven’t used my SLR in a really long time.

Rhubarb & Apple with Custard

 

But anyway during the cooking process I thought it was going to be a disaster as I over cooked the rhubarb and apple and it almost turned into a jam, my flat mate helped me out on making the crumble as I was mashing up the cold hard butter in the mixing bowl and it heated my hands up and all the flour and butter almost turned into a dough :O

Anyway this post shouldn’t look too neat on my page (the layout and picture editting is so damn annoying)

 

Next time ill upload all my pictures of Suzhou, China where I spent an entire year there. Hopefully not too many bad memories there, still kind of affecting me now while hunting for jobs.

 

Oxford

I went down south despite the mass rioting, though Oxford has nice people unlike London full of people who destroy their own city…

But anyway I went to Bicester Village, shoppers heaven. I wondered why when driving around Oxford you would see so many Chinese people walking around with about 50 bags around them of all designer labels. The first thing that came to my head was, damn spoilt international students have so much money to spend in UK, as well as crap this is the most Chinese people i’ve seen since China! For those who don’t know Bicester Village is an awesome place its full of designer shops and they are always on sale, in other words an outlet. However, I did come out triumphant with a pair of FCUK brown shoes which Rebecca’s sister said were for old men -_-; as well as looking young because I wear a hat. I worked out wearing a hat to make me young and old man shoes must make me average looking age wise??

We had a BBQ down here, well I say BBQ i think it was BBQ for Beginners. After taking about an hr to start the BBQ because the coal was put on first then the fight lighters. We ended up wafting it with news paper and accidentally putting the fire out and having smoke go everywhere. The fun part about a BBQ is when you have the fight lighting..liquid, for once I thought about a career as an arsonist.

Some rules about a BBQ

Rule 1. NEVER PUT CHICKEN ON A BURNING HOT BBQ the result = black chicken

Rule 2. NEVER LEAVE YOUR SEAT, NOT EVEN TO HAVE A WEE, chances are you’ll come back and all the food is gone

Rule 3. Don’t squirt Fight lighting liquid onto hot coal with no fire, if you don’t want lung cancer

Rule 4. Don’t squirt fight lighting liquid onto flaming BBQ too close and expect your eye brows to still be there

Rule 5. Don’t put oil in mushrooms full of cheese and garlic, the tin foil seems to cook more than the mushroom!

 

I now want to be a BBQ arsonist
