Maid ink completed

Had a chance to work on a bit more inking ^O^! So it is now 99% completed! Will be trying to do some colouring and fixing up some details when I have a chance to :3

Maid ink in progress

Don’t want to destroy the pencil sketch so end up “inking” in photoshop ^^ using trusty 4 by 6 inch hand me down wacom tablet XD! Still a lot to go, may just take my time to finish it, ^^

Maid sketch in progress

Still quite busy, so drawing is slower than before, but did a sketch which I kinda like, hopefully I’ll get to cleaning it up and coloring it soon :) Find the pose familiar? :P

I’m still undecided if I should ink the pencil sketch with pen and risk destroying the feel which I like, or try to clean up in photoshop — which will probably take longer, like way longer to finish ^^;

Stir-fry Pineapple chicken breast

The original recipe was only pineapple, chicken breast and spring onion, but I ran out of spring onion a few days ago, and had celery and red pepper in the fridge. So I decided to come up with a variation :) Thankfully it worked! (Yatta!)

Had this colourful dish with rice, and saved some for lunch tomorrow for me and hubby :)


About 4-6 serving with rice

Ingredients:
– 1 pair of boneless/skinless chicken breast
– 3 sticks of celery
– 1 small red pepper
– 1 quarter of a small pineapple, skin removed
– 2/3 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce

Red pepper sliced Pineapple slices being pan fried 3 sticks of celery sliced

Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken breast by slicing it thinly and marinate with soya sauce, black ground pepper, cooking wine, corn starch and minced garlic.
(Note: Minced garlic is optional but the end result is more fragrant I find)

2. While the chicken breast slices is being marinated (about 20 minutes or so is good enough), prepare celery, pepper and pineapple by washing and then slicing them thinly and set aside separately.
Tip: You can wash and start to cook rice in a rice cooker before slicing the ingredients, so by the time the dish is done rice is ready as well :)

3. Drizzle a little vegetable oil in a non stick pan on medium heat, and pan fry the pineapple slices until it caramelized a bit, set a side on the serving dish or bowl, do the same for red-pepper after washing the pan quickly, put it together with the cooked fried pineapple slices.

4. Wash the pan with water, wipe dry and put the pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, and pour in the marinated chicken. Stir fry until chicken is just cooked (just when you don’t see any more pink) and put in the sliced celery.

Stir fry for a 1-2 minutes or until celery appears a little softened (try not to over cook) pour in the pineapple and red pepper, mix it together, add the teriyaki sauce and 1/4 of water, simmer about a couple more minutes and it’s done ^O^!

Doodle of cone cat

Our poor cat Meowmeow had a weird injury on his bum which we discovered when it got worse, about a week and half ago, he has to wear the cone (or e-collar) so that he won’t try to lick his 2nd uh hole open again :P

Had this image for a while in my head now, actually the version in my head is more simplified. Also have other versions in my head, like him trying to eat, jump up on the bay window etc etc. Maybe will doodle them when I have a chance to… Doodle is updated in Gallery.

Fresh from the kitchen :)

One of my favourite activities is food related which includes cooking and eating LOL, gonna try having some food related entries :P (unless there’s violent objections!)

The top crust became like this cos I made the crust portion too thin ^^;

Took the crust portion and some of the instructions from here. The bun part, I used my favorite bread machine recipe and let bread machine make the dough :)

The serving for the bun dough was for more than 5 buns of course, so I used the rest for a pizza, which I will talk about a bit more later on ;)
