We had been eating out on so many nights for the pass few weeks. I had been coming home late from work and got home so exhausted; I couldn’t detour my mind from thinking about what to wear tomorrow jumping into bed with my work clothes on and just doze off to sleep!
Today while fixing ourselves a pitcher of cold drink, I saw a glimpse of something mysterious lurking among my groceries on the kitchen shelf. As I peered closer, I saw it was about four inches long, green in color and unmistakably ALIVE!!!!!
I leaped back. Poised in my Jackie Chan karate fighting stance; I clenched my fists hard; gritted my teeth and glare at The Green Thing. My heart was pounding hard! At any time it could pounce on me, that Nasty Green Thing!
I gulped hard. Something needed to be done immediately. I must eliminate this Nasty Green Thing before it ventures out of the kitchen into the other rooms in the house. God knows once it reached one of those rooms there was no way even a professional eliminator could locate it anymore.
It would make a comfortable habitat out of the junks and rubbish piled high in all of our rooms and it would breed! Then the house would be full of many Nasty Green Things, crawling all over! Oh what horror! Dammit I should have spring clean earlier. The last time we had one was in autumn 1974. Azman was not born yet.
Slowly I reached for the broom stick at the corner. I used my Yoga skills to stretch my slender body from two meters away and slowly… slowly…took my aim. I squint one eye to focus better.
While taking a deep breath, I channel all the energy in the universe into my right arm, it flowed through the broom and Haiiiiyah! I poke, poke, poke on The Nasty Green Thing.
Kelepuk! A chunk of ginger fell onto the floor. It has sprouted about four inches of green living shoot.
I have not cooked longer than I thought.
Aku insaf. This is what I made for dinner.
The lamb look so tender & juicy…yum..(saliva dropping)..
Or is it the great picture..that mislead me..
p/s: my one cents , just boil the green stuff a few mins to avoid o/cook..
nyum nyum!!!
Obeks,
Thats good food alright?! I just so happened to be a good photographer too..
I dont like boiling my greens.Its just too healthy… Thats stir fried. hehe
Nantilah mai lah rumah for dinner.. 🙂
