I'm sick... as sick as a girl can be... therefore here I am in my room and not in school..there goes my aim not to skip any class this sem.
You know what will be nice when you are sick... nice soup with bread...and I'm not talking about chicken soup. I want those uppity soup I always see on TV where they have all this nice sounding name and a good baked bread to go with. Fresh flowers would be nice too.
But no... I have to settle with good ol'boring chicken soup...chicken malay soup that is..with white loaf bread.How normal! I want nice looking,nice sounding, appetising food.Sigh.
This is what you get when you are sick,with tastebud almost gone and watching Travel and Living on cable... It doesn't help that the yummy David Rocco is enticing me with all things Italian(him included)...It's like my tastebud is pleading me for some ass-kicking food.
You know what. I think everyone should eat like the Italians. Have you see their food? NOt only it's robust with great flavours like all the herbs and cheeses...they are really into all natural stuff. I don't like veggie ..in fact I don't eat veggies but looking at David Rocco's Dolce Vitta..pass me that green stuffs anytime.. coupled with virgin oil or balsamic vinegrette...thrown in handfuls of parmesano or mozarella..fresh one that is..not those grated in pre-packed packages..Man! The Italians kids...even they know how to apprecite good food. I've seen both David Rocco and Jamie Oliver raved about how the kids there understand and knows good Italian food and they are not lying.They do! I tell you, even the baby food Rocco did for this cute baby in one of the episodes looks mighty good.Mind you...have you seen ever babies food made of carrots,virgin oil and parmesano... I tell you...so young yet exposed to so many good flavours.
Man...I'm really craving for that soup now...with a good sourdough bread or any nice baked bread drizzled with olive oil and generous swipes of toasted garlic.
