Happy Valentine’s Day!

JW and I decided to go for a picnic today since we’ve never really done that and it’s fun and cute and refreshing and y’know, to avoid overpriced V-Day dinners. Ended up at some field in Clark Quay watching 500 Days of Summer in a Drive-Through carpark and discovered that the egg-salt-pepper sandwiches I made were COMPLETELY UNEDIBLE. Now I know when recipes call for a pinch of salt, they really mean just a pinch.

So for future purposes, I’ve conjured up a fail-proof list of picnic food that anyone, and I mean anyone can make.

Nuggets
Can’t cook or fry anything to save your life? Just dump them in the toaster and toast for 15 minutes!

Mini Pizza
Ditto toaster trick. Just toast for 15 minutes! Sprinkle Cajun or chilli flakes after it’s done. It’ll taste a million times better.

Seaweed Chicken / Sotong balls
and basically any other frozen ready-made unhealthy yet tasty goodies you can lay your hands on in the supermarket. Toast for 15 minutes!

Egg Sandwich
Hard-boil your eggs, peel and smash them up with a fork, add salt and pepper (JUST A PINCH!), spread on bread with butter. Done!

Fruit
Idiot-proof. Just cut and dump in a box. Ditto salad and lettuce.

Cups of Yoghurt / packet drinks / chips / snacks!

All the above products can be found at NTUC! And cheap, too! See, so simple.

On a completely unrelated note, I’ve been compulsively watching Friends and wow, old school American sitcoms are the BEST. While midnight snacking, of course. Speaking of which, Garlic and Otah toast tastes great. I mean separately, of course. Together would just be an absolute fiasco.
