Jerereee's Sunday Evening Dinners!

Yep, don't ask us when and how it began, but a wonderful new routine has just been added to our mundane lives. Title says it all, I'm sure, but for those who don't know yet, it's our weekly Sunday dinners by Azreena aka Jerereee! Arguably one of the best cooks in Nottingham, most of us would agree that we salivate profusely whenever we think of her (culinary skills).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we're not grateful to have the Chef in the house. Thing is, she's doing her Obs&Gynae attachment at the moment (which is hardcore) in someplace called Mansfield (a faraway land), and so she comes back late (bout 7-8pm) almost every single day, leaving me (Si Terung) mostly in charge of preparing dinner (an ominous sign). Hence, the desire for good food (or 'happy food' as Chef puts it).

Back to what I was saying, Jerereee then saved us by whipping up Carbonara (w spaghetti), tortilla wraps (w unidentified meaty chunks inside), and baked potatoes w tuna and cheese and god-knows-whatever-else she throws in that makes them sooo tasty.

"Hurray, hurray, to our tummayyyy~"

Oh yeah, that brings me to another reason why she's simply too good - she doesn't even know what she chucks into the pots sometimes! (musykil2...)

Me, Seowie & Kamal: Ooooh sedapnye, what did you put in to make this taste sooo good?!
Azreena: Entahlah, I letak je, and then I rase.
Me, Seowie & Kamal: But surely you must have a recipe?
Azreena: Entahlah, I letak je, and then I rase.
Me, Seowie & Kamal: ......... (musykil)

...leading to our Artist's theory that Jerereee sain kontrek ngan jin (ala2 David Copperfield... it's the only explanation), much to her chagrin and vehement objections (defensive tuh, mesti betul).

And another thing, she claims that cooking gives her joy (apart from giving people haircuts), very much to our pleasant surprise. Well, eating gives the rest of us joy. She insists that it's a win-win situation, but to us we feel more like parasites stumbling upon the unreachable back of an obese man w plenty of blood to suck from. The guilt fades away quickly though.

Anyway, that aside, great food is still great food, so me have no complaints. As a wiseman once said, good food is one of the keys to happiness, so indeed we were truly happy stuffing ourselves to death. Sal and Seow were a bit 'hyper' than usual, but I suspect Seow was overdosing on concentrated caffeine tablets, and has been feeding Sal in secret. Or perhaps they were just being themselves. =P

Seowie: (singing off-tune) Seowie Foosh~... Tak Berhingus~... Kamal Azriii, Kau Berambus~... Yeah Yeah Yeahhhh~...
Me & Kamal: ......... (pondering on one of the great mysteries of life that is Seowie)
