cooking and nails

yesterday i was asked to cook dinner, which was decided that it would be springrolls with rice. somehow people here have the impression i can cook rice well? XD how much rice have i cooked in my life, i wonder XD. especially with my motto of 'if there's too much water its porridge!'

didnt use the wok this time because its an electric wok. Those dont generate enough heat for frying, so i used a pot on the stove instead. Works very well!
have i mentioned that frying is my biggest cooking phobia? especially when you place it in the oil and it POPS like crazy! thankfully i didnt get splattered on this time. WHEW. and i'm really happy how the spring rolls turned out. Very crispy and good!

disclaimer: the springrolls are NOT made by me XD they were bought by mary from someone else who made them
then i spent almost 2.5 hours doing mary's nails O.o .

that includes a little drying time in between and some time she spent on doing her cuticles i guess. honestly when i look at the work i cant imagine how it can take so long, since acrylic dries really fast.

at least the results are cute XD mary made a request to have her 'angel girls' on her nails, so thats what i came up with haha. had to mix paint around to get a blondish shade for hilde's hair hehe!
the snowman is my favourite though!
and finally a pic of my own nails , done earlier in the day. magic words heard when doing my nails... was of mary asking alex to vacuum instead since i have wet nails. HOHOHOHOHO! merry xmas!

we're heading again to elnesvagen to do more xmas shopping, i'll see if hubby wants to take a pic with me!
