Actually oven can do many many things.

- bake whipped potato topped with triple cheese

- Bake rice topped with triple cheese

- bake rice(base) top with whipped potato topped with triple cheese

- roast potato skin topped with bacon finished with sour cream

- roast portabella mushroom with capsicum & bread crumps

- roast pork (get a big piece of pork belly, maybe 1kg, rub with only salt, (sea salt better), mid heat, 1 - 2 hr (agar agar, see how done). Shiok shiok, all fats gone

- home made pizza (not 100% home made lar, get those ready base, just put any topping U like)

- bake egg plan, capsicum,

- Cakes

- etc etc etc....

Once you have it, there are many things you can do. Small oven can be a little bit more challenging.

hahaahah.... never watch those cooking channels. all are food that i tasted and like, then i do my own trial and error. for the portabello mushroom, i like to BBQ it with cheese on top. when the cheese melted into the mushroom, hmmm.... once bite, all the mushroom juice are flowing out and with a hint of melted cheese... so yummy.....

i don't eat capsicum so i won't try your recipe. hehehe....

oh, you love cheese too :sport-smiley-004: :sport-smiley-004:

You can try BBQ with mixing different type of cheese.

The common ones I like are Old Cheddar, Mozzarella, Parmesan. It gives a rich old cheddar test with Mozzarella that stretches and Parmesan that gives that little crisp on top :dribble: :dribble: :dribble:

Oh, do you cook macaroni cheese ? I tried a few times, can't seems to make it right. Wrong taste, wrong texture. :bangwall::furious::bangwall::furious:

SPECIAL PROJECT

As i mentioned previously, that there will be a special project going on at end of May. But it was delayed till today.

What is it that is so special? For me, its really special because mediacorp using my place for one of their 9pm serial drama that are going to air in Sep 2012. :dancingqueen::sport-smiley-004::sport-smiley-004:

So today, a few actors and actresses came over to my place with the whole crew consists of director, camera man, make up artist, assistant director, lighting crew, sound crew etc etc.... :jawdrop:

This means that my home will be featured on tv! Even my bedroom too cos there is a scene where the couple is making out on my bed :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: but i think my fav would be where the focus was on my door.... and even my water filter.

It was funny watching them act.... although i thought my fav actor will be around, but he isn't.

I don't dare to take too many photos so a few for you to see here. Hopefully the next time, i will take a few more photos and post it here. :yamseng:

Should be paid quite a bit. Shouldn't be free. If things get spoilt can claim for damages :sport-smiley-004:. Really, not joking one!

No lah, doesn't get paid a lot. Just a token as I have to take leave for them to come by. But it's fun to see how they film in my place. Hopefully it would look good on tv. Haha
