Do you believe it if I were to tell you that my Fujioh cooker hood fell from the cabinet it was attached to last night? BELIEVE ME !!!
Ma, Leonard & Erin was at NTUC while I was surfing before my Pilates class when I heard I VERY LOUD THUMP at about 7.50pm. Went to the kitchen to inspect & to my horror, the cooker hood was lying upside down. It was a little dented & the plastics on the side of it were smashed to pieces. The cooker hob & solid surface were untouched though.
It was a blessing that Leonard was surprisingly early for dinner last night. Else, Ma, Erin & I would be in the kitchen during that period & I'm sure we'll all be in hospital after the incident !
Had a hard time cleaning the kitchen after frying these fishes so no more fried food till the new cooker hood is installed.
Still has wanton filling hence used it to practice the wrapping method as shown on fengyingrecipe's blog but still can't get it right *arghhhhhh*
