Its been a long and busy week, filled with work and studies. This week was the start of the special semester. Taking a language class is indeed no joke, to learn something so totally foreign within the span of 6 weeks seems even more impossible. With 3 lessons a week, 3/4hrs per lesson, and each lesson extremely stress inducing as the teacher(aachaan) will call upon each person and ask as question in thai and you have to answer back. The lessons are early in the morning too, which means that my brain has not started functioning fully yet. Thus the classes have been pretty torturous so far as i have yet to grasp the language and the pace is super duper fast.

On top of that, I have been facilitating too. Long hours spent tottering about on heels, with my feet aching at the end of the day and the next day having to wake up early for class. So yup, this was indeed a very long and draining week, but in a way, I kind of enjoyed being kept so busy. And today was a rest day, and for some reason, my energy just disappeared and I spent the whole day at home feeling pmsy, and being super unproductive even though I was supposed to revise my thai, and to go gym. So feeling the need for comfort food, and mum being out, I cooked and baked and the whole process was simply therapeutic..hahah..with lovely results.. Pumpkin soup with hot, crusty baguette, macaroni and cheese and melt in the mouth chocolate cake. I really love pumpkin soup, not only because of its lovely colour(full of antioxidants), its also very healthy and thick and creamy, and very very yummy. It is relatively simple to make, with pumpkin, carrot, onion, garlic, chicken broth and some milk. Once again, I didnt follow a specific recipe, and just went by agaration.

The mac and cheese was the instant kind and all I had to do was add butter and milk, so it was super duper easy, but it was just s0 so









I did not take a picture of the chocolate cake as it did not turn out as fantastic as I thought and looked rather ugly. It was a little on the sweet side, but I loved the texture though, really melt in the mouth and moist and chocolately and very easy to make too. I melted 200g of dark chocolate and 200g of butter in a microwave oven until everything was melted. Stirred 250g of sugar into it, added 5 eggs in, one at a time, and added 1 tbsp of flour into the mixture. Pour the mixture into 8 inch baking pan and bake for about 20mins until the centre is still a little wobbly. Fantastically easy and extremely decadent, it did hit the spot for my chocolate craving, which I had avoided after the chocolate buffet. I do feel so much better now..hahah
