once again, i am suffering from a sore throat. *great*

how many times in 5 months did i suffer from this throat poking disease.
as far as i recalled, i drank LOADS OF WATER.

i am currently FRUSTRATED.

my mum told me like last week that prob Lannie and Bawen, my childhood friends are gonna come here to visit me on Friday. well we WERE gonna celebrate something together.

but unfortunately, the weekend in Saudi arabia starts from Weds to Friday so which means, they have to go to sch on a saturday.

and so, they couldnt make it.

yes, it would be awesome if they made a last minute plan. GUYS, PLEASE VISIT ME.

first part done.

what did i do today?

i finished 2 pages of my storyboard, revised business studies, swim, and COOK.

yes rachel cooked.

my mum couldnt figure out what she wanted to cook and so i went to the freezer, defrost a dozen of chicken wings. and started marinating.

RACHEL'S GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE
  • 3 tablespoons of Chinese barbeque sauce or just an ordinary bbq sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar. ( to make the chicken skin look golden, i like it when its goldenish brownish)

step 1: defrost chicken wings. for about 4 mins in the microwave (dont defrost it too long, it might get too soft)

step 2: marinate chicken wings. add bbq sauce, add salt and sugar. place the chicken wings and the ingredients in a zipper bag. or u could mix it in a bowl. but it might be uneven.

step 3: shake it! and keep shaking it! =D so the chicken wings are marinated evenly.

step 4: leave it for abt 20 mins

mum made a last minute decision. so we went swimming. i left the chicken wings in the fridge. and the longer iits marinated, the nicer it tastes. but its up to u.....how long u wana marinate it.

step 5: take a flat baking tray. cover it with aluminium foil. brush cooking oil on it, so that the chicken doesnt stick on it. preheat oven 385 F

step 6: arrange chicken wings nicely.

step 7: keep remaining sauce.

step 8: wait for half an hour, then flip the chicken wings up to grill the other surface. brush chicken wings with remaining sauce.

step 9: slightly open the oven door, to broil the chicken wing. ( this makes the skin look goldenish brown)

step 10: wait for another 10 mins

AND VOILA! UR GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS.

this comes in handy when ur mum's not at home.

i wanted to take a picture of my chicken wings, but then i forgot . i was too lazy and hungry

oh u could take like half a ginger . and shred it. to add the fragrance hehehe.

and and u know, the oil that comes out from the chicken, u can use it for gravy. just add barbeque sauce and add cornflour. THER U GO. gravy. brown gravy as seen on mashed potatoes.

try it;) and let me know, what u think ok? its simple, and quick. it takes 45 minutes for ur rice to be cooked, while waiting why dnt u prepare rachel's grilled chicken wings to?;) it takes about an hour. =)

i ate it with mashed potatoes.

just simply boil 2 potatoes, then when its soft, smash it, add butter, and add a little bit of milk. pour some gravy on top. there you go. just like in the restaurants =)
