I've started this little picture blog in the hope that I'll keep posting! It's basically an outlet to practice my writing/photography and hopefully, everyone reading this won't get too bored of it :)
A) Formula 1 Practice
This year (I'm not entirely sure about the years before) the Friday Practice Sessions for The 2010 Sepang F1 GP was free! So the family made a trip there and we watched the practice session :) We were a little late cause the girls had to come home from school and get ready, but we got there about half an hour after it started - 2.30pm. The stands were mostly empty so we were able to move around quite a bit and take photos along the length of the K1/K2 grandstands.
I guess most people would find it boring, but we had an awesome time :) The roar of the engines was amazing. I went to the toilet (which was outside the grandstands) and the noise was shaking the bathroom doors! Now imagine being seated about 8 feet behind the tyre walls...
These are the shots I'm 100% sure I took because I loved taking the cars as they came down the starting straight and turned into the first corner.
B) Yummyyummyummy
On a whim the other day, I decided to put my slightly-neglected miso paste to good use with one of my new favourite vegetables: eggplants :D
I fried them in tempura batter with a little oil and made some tomato-ginger-miso sauce by frying up some onions and ginger in some veggie oil (and some sesame oil) then adding tomatoes and miso paste (dissolved in some water). I used soy sauce (no salt) and some pepper to season it and thickened it with the leftover tempura batter. The one in the picture above was attempt #2 at making it. I didn't have any tomatoes so I used ketchup (which didn't do as good a job).
It was soooo gooodddd :D And I'm not just saying that 'cause I made it! I really do love it.
I'm going to try and upload as often as possible (and putting our camera to good use!) so stay tuned for episode 2 :)
