ABC Wednesday: Letter J

Japanese Udon noodles are my son's favourite. Once we went to one of the most expensive Japanese Restaurant in the Shangrila hotel in Singapore. The udon noodles he ordered wasn't like his mum's udon noodles and he told the poor waitress that he didn't like it. The manager came to apologise and gave him a complimentary bowl. He ate it but still insisted that it wasn't like his mum's. Should I laugh and feel honored?
These photos are uncooked udon, because his mum is keeping her recipe a secret. LOL. Actually I cook it so often that I didn't think of taking a photo.




I was running late, the cars were moving at a snail pace. In fact they were not moving at all. I was sitting at the bridge wondering if there was an accident. When I eventually got to the end of the bridge some sixty minutes later, I see this technician fiddling with the traffic control signal. I pitied him because it was a cold morning and a gale was blowing. He must be feeling the vibes of the motorists hot under the collar and cursing him for the JAM.

  7. Your noodles look a bit like intestines as well :) Not the least bit interested in the Commonwealth, Olympic or any other kind of games - big waste of money.

  13. just be glad you did not have my husband with you in the traffic jam, he does not do well. i entertain myself by watching cars and people. he fumes and gets red in the face.
    you asked about how to post one in draft after you post. I thnk i know what you mean, if you email me i can tell you more with pictures included. my email is on my profile
    To post a post after antoher one, change the date and time
    in new post, look just above word publish, click on post options, click on schedule and the time date opens, change the date or the time and click publish. sometime i do a post and then want to put one under it, and i just change the time to a few minutes less than the one already posted. if this is not what you meant email me.

  14. Out of all the noodles, I love udon the best! My favorite is the Sanuki udon ;D

    I think your son has great taste, nothing is better than a mothers dish!

  15. Ah, there's always a jam when someone's tinkering!

    Your son is probably right. Restaurant food rarely is as good as home made.
