Every day when it comes to meal time, my feelings are always divided of making something local (in this content I am referring to Swedish meal) or preparing a Malaysian meal.

I am not too much of a fuss when it comes to eating, so I pretty much eat what I can as long as it does not contain any pork or pig based produce. So I don't know why sometimes I take into consideration of what to have for my breakfast, lunch or dinner.

It is always easy to make something simple, like frying a beef burger and boiling spaghetti, or unpacking the pre-packed mixed viggies and fry them wok-style.

Or I could just have bread and a glass of milk, put it in microwave so it is not too cold from being kept in refrigerator, and tear small pieces from the bread to dip it into the warm milk.

Oh isn't that nice..?

Perhaps I will have just that now -- bread and warm milk.
