i just spent the last hour grinding chilli
poof
yes
i spent one whole hour on it
now, there is a monster container of chilli with shallots, belachan, some ginger and sth else which i forgot to put in which thankfully can be added later on
if not i would have to re-grind the chilli all over again
and my hands are already numb from the blender cuz it is one of hte older models for which you have to press down before the thing works
but it is the only blender my mum would use
poof

and i have yellow finger nails now
credit to the weird ginger that is orange in colour
rahhh
not to mention the stinging, burning sensation that chilli always causes on my skin
all thesem just for good chili
sometimes, i think ready-made chilli off the shelf may not be so bad after all
nahh
i doubt it
the price to pay for good food
