As I walked into my office this morning, I caught sight of a box and had to literally do a double-take just to be sure that I had not made any mistake while trying to read the prints in 5 seconds as I sauntered past it:
I thought “solve global warming” was a very bold and ambitious statement to make. Ironic, even. Talk about making a sweeping statement.
Global warming is a big problem. No. Make that huge fucking problem. Just 5 days ago, the news reported that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been recorded at their highest level in human history. (Article from BBC here) Scientists are saying that we now have reach to the point of no return…which means that using Double A paper ain’t going to SOLVE global warming.
Like I said, it seemed like a sweeping statement. But I am also aware that it may have been done with the best of intention…which, in this case, a little bit misplaced with the choice of word used.
I am not sure if global warming can ever be solved in my opinion, but we certainly can minimize the impact and decelerate the rate of global warming by first stop using paper altogether to reduce our carbon footprint.

Here is one of my “do-over” oven dishes for when:
- I’m feeling lazy or knackered
- I run out of idea what to cook
- Silver Bullet couldn’t figure out what he wants to eat
- I feel like throwing a bunch of ingredients together and see how it turns out
And this is what I came up with recently:
Looks yummy? Well, it is! Here’s the recipe:
Roasted Honey-Pepper Chicken
2015-07-13 17:17:43
- 6-8 pieces of chicken breast
- 1 onion, sliced thinly
- 1/2 inch ginger, pounded roughly
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tspn salt
- 2-3 tbsp ground black pepper
- 1 tspn cumin powder
- springs of rosemary
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Combine pounded ginger, dark soy sauce, honey, salt, black pepper, rosemary and cumin and rub it all over the chicken. Leave it to marinade for min. 15 minutes.
- Prepare aluminum foil – put in the marinated chicken and spread the sliced onions on top of the chicken.
- Crimp the aluminum foil together end-to-end loosely. Put in the oven for 30 minutes
- To make the skin slightly brown and crispier, open up the aluminium foil a little bit and roast a little more for 5-10 minutes. (Leave it too long or the chicken will get dry)
- Keep the aluminum foil loosely crimped together to keep it moist
- The chicken is great to serve with rice or just salad

“When you start feeling the springs in the heels of your feet, it’s good”
– Ann Grubbs ‘n Critters –
There’s no way else I could describe it as I’m literally only echoing the vibes that has lingered within me since Friday night as the sudden surge of energy ignite the fire in my soul.
2 days later, I think that it is time and it still feels right.
I could feel the springs on my feet and when I said it out loud in my head, it turned out to be quite an awesome sounding quote.
