Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 4
Wednesday 20th May 2020 There were a number of challenges that we faced while trying to prepare this dish. Firstly, some of the ingredients were difficult to find and secondly, you may remember in our last entry, that we were down to one ring on our hob!

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 3
Sunday 10th May 2020 Today was my turn in the kitchen. We had an exciting event happen the other day, one of the rings on our hob was on and tripped the switch. So now we are down to one working ring. Luckily, we are called “One Wok Two Noobs” so we only need one ring- let’s hope it stays working until the new cooker comes!

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 2
Thursday 7th May 2020 Today was Tadgers turn on cooking- I know I said last entry that it was a team effort but I joked about the compromising to make it work for me. We actually decided that some dishes we can work together on and others e can take turns in doing. Tonight, on the cards was “Flash-fried cabbage with dried chillies and sweetened soy”, not something we would usually choose to cook so an interesting one to try.

Chinese Cooking Challenge- Day 1
Day 1 has gone well. At around half past three we had an internal debate with ourselves; “can’t we start tomorrow instead”. We would be able to put off going to the shop for an extra day, we were so close to caving in but yesterday I promised you Singapore noodles and we didn’t want to let you down. So, we put on our shoes and trudged to the shop.

The Chinese Food Challenge
We’ve got to a stage in lockdown where days merge into each other. Hopes and dreams of becoming the next Mo Farah have fallen flat due to knee and hip injuries, we rejoice at a rainy day because we don’t have to feel bad about staying in. Last Thursday was officially my last day working for the Brain Tumour Charity. Up until now, I have still had a small routine- get up around half eight, open my laptop, check emails whilst having breakfast and work for around eight hours, with an occasional zoom meeting to break up the day. The other half who would like to be known as Tadger, has taken up the fine job of being head chef since his unfortunate furlough a few weeks previously. We’ve enjoyed risottos, pasta dishes, soups and even roast duck on Easter Sunday!
