I'm a domestic goddess..

..or so I think.

Since I haven't posted up any recent food pics, here's what's been cooking in my kitchen.
Hmm Mmmm

Not only can I now multi-task my cleaning chores (cleaning the bathroom, toilet, vacuuming, sweeping, wiping down tatami mats, laundry, ironing) but I can now proudly say that I've managed to grow baby tomatoes. Yay for me!

In Spring I threw some old tomatoes into a pot and hey presto - now I have so many seedlings it looks like a suspicious crop farm on my balcony. However the intense summer has killed off a few.

You know you've been domesticated when you make extra effort to remember to water your plants everyday. Just the feeling of getting dirt under my fingernails and the satisfaction of watching something grow and flourish under my care (I wonder if this is the same with kids) keeps me coming back and tending to my little garden. My mint and basil are still alive *touch wood* and I can't wait for enough tomatoes to make a salad.

Although I seem to be breeding flies in my soil..what the?!? Exactly! I haven't a clue why? Help! I have to keep watering my plants or they start drooping but I think the water is providing perfect festering moisture for the bugs. Eeeks!
