i am feeling a huge bubble of guilt welling up.

went shopping yesterday and today. total haul? 5 tops, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 2 bras. total bill: $295. gulp. (and i haven't even gotten any shoes yet)

everybody! pls share your new year shopping list to make me feel better. on second thoughts, don't if you haven't bought much.

on the upside, i finally gave my first paycheck treat yesterday! my family was the only one occupying the whole restaurant so that felt good. i was carrying my power clutch (the big white one that makes me feel important) and for the first time i settled the bill for the table! gosh i didn't know it could be so much fun giving a treat heee.

and today i tried cooking tuna pasta in soured cream and it went well! but i skimped on the cream after reading that it contains about 17g saturated fat per 100g cream. so the dish was a bit dry. i also found out that you definitely must cook pasta in salted water. and put generous amounts of salt. it makes your pasta much much more flavourful. i added 4 heaped teaspoons for 275g pasta. last sunday's Lifestyle article was accurate too in helping me make the perfect hard boiled eggs.

i realised that weekends are more enjoyable after you start work.
