We live in a world of BS. Funnily enough, people buy BS. WE buy BS and things always look good on the other side – thanks to BS. That’s why I love the above funny quote. It’s a good perspective on BS.
Wishing you a blessed and BS-free week!

Fabulous Friday Flavour: Easy Peach Strudel
Category: Fabulous Friday Flavours
The thought of peaches had occupied my mind loads in the past few weeks. And after finding that I still have phyllo dough, yoghurt and whipped cream in my fridge that were about to expire, the electrons in my brains sent a shock to my nervous system – telling me that I needed to use them for something with peaches.
Fresh peaches are pretty hard to find here in Thailand, and the ones that are sold in the supermarkets are usually prohibitively expensive that they are not even worth a glance! So I made do with can peaches and decided to make-up my own peach strudel recipe after scouring through the many basic recipes of strudels. I still need to work on the art of folding the phyllos nicely, but it was hard given the delicate texture and the fact that the creamy fillings made the folding a lot harder!
So, here we go and I hope you like them as much as we do. All of us just couldn’t get enough of it!

Sunday Humour: The Nice and Normal
Category: Entertainment
So true, isn’t it? Especially those who tend to be overtly nice and like anything and everything about you; even when you know yourself that you completely looked like crap that day and the compliments of how the necklace you have just radiated your gorgeousness kept coming in. And it’s always the same person who delivered that to you. Sounds familiar? I usually run a million miles away! OK, maybe there are some that are truly and genuinely nice and normal, and of course, I’m generalising.
That’s why I love my crazy, loopy friends. They are the best there is. It helps that I’m not quite right in the head too, and next to them, I’m usually the normal one. Not a bad trade-off, I’d say!
Here’s a thought for the week: Watch for the “nice and normal”. Have a wonderful week!
