When I got my very 1st bite on it raw in the middle of the forest of Mount Irau, I immediately fall for it. Never in my life did I know it tastes absolutely juicy and sweet. I swear by the trees, and the moss, and the mud. I then bought the sweet corns at one of the stalls at RM10 for 7 cobs. I do not know what should I do with it from the start in order to finish it within a week till I had lunch with Abner this afternoon. We came across an Indian grocery shop with loads of pretty nice potatoes laying on a big wooden tray. I picked about 4 potatoes, 1 onion and a cucumber. Yeah, I'm gonna make potato salad. Plus sweet corn. Mmm... mmm...

So once I got home, I boiled some water in a saucepan and dumped in the washed potatoes. I waited for about 20 minutes to cook, then took them out from the heat and set aside to cool. While waiting, i played with this little-naughty-Meagan. Tik-tok-tik-tok... and I believe it's ready to peel the skins off the potatoes. Using a fork, I pressed and mashed it in a big bowl. Diced and lightly chop-chop the onion and cucumber. Set aside. And now it's time for cutting corn kernels. Hold the stem end of the husked ear of corn and rest the tip on the bottom. Use a sharp knife to cut off corn kernels into a bowl. Mix the diced onion, cucumber and corn kernels with the mashed potato. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Empty a small bottle (130g) of Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise, mix well and refrigerate for few hours. Voila ~ Am keeping it for tomorrow's breakfast.

This week's theme from the 52? weeks of 2009 group is 'Everyday Life' so I was looking for the mundane and although I enjoy cooking it is something I have to do each day.

During the week I try and cook something in one pot that I prepare prior to doing the school run and is ready when we get home, these garlic cloves were part of the Curried Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup we had today, hearty winter cooking :-)

Tip - after you've chopped the garlic rinse your hands in cool water and then rub them on your stainless steel taps, it gets rid of the garlicky smell.
