So… This post about me cooking will temporary end here for the time being until… Hmm… We’ll see…
Left: French beans stir fried with garlic.
Right: Honey chicken, the honey sauce is actually from packet, premix sauce ;p. I also included deep fried wanton in it since the wonton was tasteless, I didn’t season the meat in there hahaha… Failure ;p Not exactly what I expected the taste should be.
Left: Pizza, lots of cheese and other toppings(mushrooms, beef, pineapple cubes, and yellow capsicum).
right: Chicken and egg corn soup. Just dumped everything in, soup base was just chicken stock.
Left: Siao bai chai with oyster sauce, my bro cooked this, I just supervised. Was overcooked.
Right: Beef balls with pineapple stir fried with Korean honey ginger tea(it’s actually jam like texture, available in a jar which can be used for marinating and also just mixing it with water to drink).
Left: Baked Spaghetti.
Right: My brother experimenting with this, I’m not sure of the name of the vegetable. He cooked it with curry ;p Was tasteless, too little curry powder.
Left: Trying to get rid of the wonton skin. I pan fried the wonton. The filling was chicken meat and then poured Prego Marinara Sauce and sprinkled with cheese ;p Weird combination hahaha…
Right: The leftover wonton skin, this time it’s just wonton skin. Made tomyam wonton soup, threw in various types of balls(don’t remember the other 2 types, only remember there’s beef balls) we bought and plain wonton skin.
Basically that’s my culinary adventure for the passed 16 or 17 days, sometimes we went out to eat, too lazy to cook and clean ;p
Quite a number of the dishes were experiments(obviously). Most of the time, we’re trying to get rid of whatever left in the fridge before stocking up new batch of ingredients, there were only two of us some more. So just made do with whatever we found.
It would certainly seem as though diamond drop earrings are still in style and will stay that way for some time. America Ferrara wore a pair of stunning 2.5 carat diamond pendant earrings and she was not the only one either. Other stars who donned diamond drop earrings included Audra McDonald and Anastasia Griffith. Candace Bergen might have been off the screen for awhile but she also made an appearance wearing a similar pair of diamond earrings set in platinum as well.
Colored diamond earrings were also out in full swing as well. Chandra Wilson donned a pair of fancy cut diamond drop earrings in yellow. Emilie de Raven was caught wearing a pair of diamond earrings that were also set with cognac diamonds as well. Both pairs of earrings would certainly seem to indicate the colored diamonds, particularly in the hues of browns and yellows, are going to remain popular for some time.
The sizes of the earrings also tended to vary on the red carpets this year as well. A number of stars wore drop diamond earrings, although there were some who went with diamond hoops as well. Jean Smart wore a pair of diamond chandelier earrings while Kyra Sedgwick wore a pair of pyramid diamond earrings set in platinum. Lauren Conrad went with something a bit different and wore a pair of diamond stud earrings.
Bracelets were also out in force on the red carpet this year. One of the hottest trends that have been seen in the last few months and are expected to last throughout the early part of next year is chunky or cuff bracelets. Several celebrities were seen wearing just this style of bracelet on the red carpet this year, many of which were set with diamonds and other gemstones. Ashley Jensen was just one celebrity who chose to wear a cuff bracelet. The particular bracelet that she wore was set with sixty carats worth of diamonds. Rumor has it that the bracelet was valued at nearly half a million dollars. Of course, that was nothing compared to the diamond cuff bracelet that Katrina Bowden wore. Her bracelet had more than 65 carats worth of diamonds and had a reported worth of $545,000.
Statement necklaces were also on hand this year. America Ferrera made news when she wore a 19th century diamond necklace with a flower pendant. Diamonds by the yard necklaces were sported by both Candice Bergen as well as Heidi Klum. Collar necklaces also appeared to be quite popular as well. Nicollette Sheridan was seen wearing just this style of necklace.
