Ramble ramble

My cousin and I were wandering around the supermarket after dinner yesterday.. and in the meat section, came across a tub of.. duck fat. O.o Scary, right?

On a totally unrelated note, I worked out a system that has made week day dinner preparation easier. I figure that if I prepare and marinate the meat for the following week's meals on the weekend, not only saves time but makes the food taste better. :) Talk about a win-win situation.

I'm also learning to use the slowcooker more. I prepare the meat and veg the night before and then in the morning just before I leave for work, I put everything into the slowcooker with a bit of water and switch the setting to "low". It is so easy. Coming home to the smell of cooking is the best. :)

The weather has been relatively cold. I woke up this morning to the sound of the wind howling and rattling at the windowpane so I decided to sleep in till 11 in the morning. Spent the rest of the day doing laundry, washing dishes and mopping the floor while my bro cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed the carpet and did the groceries.
