He might do something more with his day than just watch the tube. Often, he likes to cook. For the last couple of days, he has made salad.
He cuts up ham into strips, and fries it.
Sometimes he makes spring rolls, then chops them up, and adds them to the hydroponic lettuce. He asks me to buy nuts from the 7-11 convenience store, which he sprinkles on top to round it off.
Maiyuu also enjoys making the dressing, using a combination of vinegar and red wine.
I would like to provide more detail, but when I quizzed Maiyuu about what he puts in his salad, for the purpose of writing this blog post, he told me it was a trade secret.
'You'll have to buy my recipe,' he said.
If he gets bored with salad, he can try other things. He has made beef curry a few times this week. And for the last two nights, he experimented making instant chocolate cake.
Both attempts at making the cake have failed, as precise measurements are needed.
Sometimes, at the last minute, he throws in a little extra butter, oil, or whatever, as he likes to improvise.
Some recipes don't like an improvising chef, so the result is not always a success. The other night, the chocolate caught fire in the microwave. The cake came out as hard as a rock.
When he gets tired of cooking, he falls back on those trusty Thai standbys: watching television, and sleep.
Maiyuu does not go out much at night any more. He rarely takes telephone calls from friends. The other afternoon, his friend Duck from downstairs knocked on the door.
Maiyuu took a look through the peephole at who was outside, and decided not to answer.
He has also declared that this year he probably won't join the Songkran water-throwing festivities, as he would rather spend his time at home with me. Normally, he goes out with Duck and his friends.
I don't know know what has turned my boyfriend into such a home-dweller.
He is wearing his hair long at the back. It is so long, it is curling around his neck. I have urged him not to cut his hair, as I like stroking it.
Maiyuu has resisted the urge to cut it, even though it is getting so long it is annoying him.
Maybe that's it: my boyfriend has become a semi-recluse because I have asked him to wear a fem hair cut.
Re. cooking: baking is not really an art, it's more of a science. You can't change the rules that much without things going wrong.
ReplyDeleteRe. boyfriend: maybe he's hiding while letting his hair grow long in anticipation of becoming a ladyboy.
