Have been addicted to K-Pop recently (despite hating it a year ago XD)
And just when I decided to put K-Pop down and go back to listening to J-Rock, out pops SHINee's "Sherlock" MV and BTOB's "Insane" MV
....which meant I was sucked back into K-Pop again....
Despite the fact that I finally got my good taste in music back and falling in love with YUI and SID again....
I swear they do it on purpose....

Happy Mother's Day!
For Mother's Day today I decided to make dinner for mother which consisted of Lasagne and some Potato Rostis
I also managed to drag my brother to help me XD
It all well quite well at the start although brother peeled waaaaaay too many carrots (and took forever at doing it too) and in the end we had to stick them all into the meat sauce (although it turned out fine in the end) and I was worrying whether it would end up having more carrots than the mince itself XD
So as the meat sauce was slowly simmering away a thought popped up into my head "We don't have any tomato puree!"
And I was looking around for it everywhere and in the end didn't find any so I jokingly told brother "why don't why used tomato ketchup instead? XD" to which he replied "alright" which kinda shocked me because I thought he'd go "ewww! no!" but he didn't XD
So I just added a load of tomato ketchup into the meat sauce which then tasted of just tomato ketchup so then I added a heap of seasoning, pepper, and red wine to try and balance it out (although brother was protesting when I went to add more red wine into it XD)
It was pretty much 5pm and mother came home complimenting the smell and then she saw the kitchen and claimed it looked liked a mess (which imo was not true since it actually looked pretty neat compared to my other cooking sessions I've had XD)
She couldn't take the sight of the kitchen and left to go into the living room XP
Which by then I thought why don't we just finish this and stick it into the oven so I could make my potato rosti
And I got brother to spread the white sauce (which he took forever) and then when I got him to put the pasta on top of the meat sauce he found bugs....crawling around the pasta...it was not a good sight....
So I decided to go to mother about it which she was also surprised at since we only just recently bought the pasta - but we ended up using them anyway....since all germs will be killed in the over...hopefully....
So we were doing pretty good and then brother decided he would do spread the white sauce on top of the lasagne...and he somehow made it look like an abstract art piece XD
Thankfully we had cheese to put on top so that it would end up looking kinda 'normal'
Afterwards when we finished up with the lasagne structuring we decided to put it into the over, however there weren't enough space, so I was moving them about when suddenly my wrist touched the top of the oven which I of course went "OW!" to, but then when I looked at it, I wasn't even sure whether what it was and just went "Is that my skin?" because, seriously, it didn't look like a normal burn, then skin looked like the skin off of a friend chicken o.O (the picture below makes it look alright...but in reality...it isn't...)
Even my brother looked sick looking at it and he's not really a squeamish person

So then, after sticking the lasagne in the oven, I decided to start on the potato rosti's which I stupidly decided to use a tiny pan to fry it in and well...it was a huge mess XD
And then it started burning....
It tasted quite nice though XD
But for the other two which I haven't stuck into the pan I decided to stick them straight into the oven with a little bit of olive oil on top, hoping that it'll be enough XD
In the end...
umm...they tasted quite nice?
Not my best effort, but definitely no the worst XD
At least they were edible....and I had a entertaining time cooking (despite the burn - but I usually end up burning myself every time I try to cook XD)
Maybe I should've just bought flowers for Mother's Day?
But at least I learnt....
1. Don't let brother near a knife or even a peeler
2. Brother is way too slow at even peeling carrots and potato's
3. Brother is just slow at doing anything
4. I shouldn't try making something which I vaguely remember how to make
5. I should just buy flowers for Mother's Day...
of course to end with we have Jay Chou with "Listen to Mother's words" which is pretty much the perfect song for Mother's Day <3
