things to do # 1

i just realised that i have never eaten an eggs benedict.

something so simple, so common....something that i have read and heard of a million times over (authors are prone to exaggerate, that's their prerogative) and can be easily ordered anywhere. yet i have never eaten it.

sometimes, in life, you are so engrossed with the big picture that you overlook the small little things. things that you take for granted, simple things that bring you pleasure. setting a small little goal..... achieving it will be easy yet so satisfying. something to look forward to in your days.

i'm making it something that i must do before the end of this year.

to eat an eggs benedict.



now.....if only i know where i can get to eat a yummilicious one.

i'm drooling just looking at the photo.

dear jonzz: errrr.....you didn't read properly ah? i'm putting it on the list of things to do before the end of this year....haven't eaten it before :-(

dear wuching: how to make yourself if you have never tasted it before. don't know whether it's correct or wrong....

dear cocka: good suggestion!! i think i will find a day to do that!

dear may: ya, yrs was the 2nd time i saw it on the blogosphere last week...which triggered this post. cannot agree/disagree with you because i haven't tried it :-( will let you know soon.

dear e: like i said to wuching, can't cook it if i've never tried it. don't know how a good eggs benedict is supposed to taste like. something may be missing and i may not even know it. follow cocka's suggestion better; go eat at jarrods & rawlings. see u there.....

yes cravings... you still get them ah?

dear monty: not cravings like those pregnancy cravings....cos i don't know how it taste like, so i can't picture the taste in my mouth and crave for it. more like curiousity...

I've never eaten one. Is THAT was it looks like? mm..no wonder. I've just lost my appetite. It looks gross, like some alien is growing out of the poor little muffin.

I can reach a food goal - eat a hershey's kiss, then a little mint, then a chocolate bar, then to a bigger chocolate bar. tada!

dear annie: i'm surprised u haven't tried one...considering that it is a western creation....i think. does it look gross? then agn, i love cheese and bacon. what's monty doing in the muffin??! yuckkkkky!! monty, get out of my food NOW!

why go from small to big when you can have big big big all the way?? hahaha. let's start with a triangle bar of toblerone, then a bar of hazel nut with chocolate, then a bar of crunchie *drool* and finish off with a box of ferrero rocher. yummmmm...i love talking food.
