Steamed chicken rice

Did quite a bit of housework this morning..first it was preparing my bfast..and when neighbour came to bring Poppy out for a walk, I decided to debone and marinate the chicken for tonight's dinner before she comes back and I've to shower her. Then chopped up chicken into small pieces and add to her dog food for her "dinner". After she came back, showered her. T came by a few times today and only went down to "report" to him that she has gone for walk and I showered her the first time he came. The other times I was sitting comfortably on my bed doing my research so didn't bother to "entertain" him. One of the times he came he shouted out to me to check if I was around -,-||| Does it make a diff?! Also left chopping board and knife on kitchen top again.

Anyway, got to video call with my niece today but no nice Hiii today..only smiled when she saw me. She's still blabbering in her language..cute! Hehe..

Did more reading and data extraction for my thesis for the rest of the afternoon. Tedious! Quite looking forward to tmr. Going to leave hse quite early (from usual) to have my haircut then meeting 2 other classmates for lunch at Zagora Moroccan food (the others can't make it!). Weather is supposedly to warm up by this end of week reaching 18deg or news said low 20s?! That should be the feel of summer..so I can gauge then. Today and tmr is ard 13deg.

Cooked steamed mushroom chicken rice tonight! Quite an adventure..cos I have to use bowl to cook rice in microwave oven then thought I can use the same bowl to steam with chicken but it was too high so touches the lid. So I use chopsticks to hold it but it didn't seem to be steaming! So had an idea to do the method I do my Emperor chicken so used aluminium foil to wrap the rice. TADA! It worked..haha..

before cooking

Verdict: Not as fragrant as my mum's..partly cos I didn't use dried mushrooms and chicken had to be deboned (cos no chopper here)..haha! And of course, mum cooks best mah! But not bad for a first attempt! Rice wasn't soggy!!!
