Some accidental secrets are a keeper because the dish turns turned out great. Once I was actually frying some chicken strips but I ran out of cooking oil. The only oil available at my kitchen was crisco. So I melted the lump of oil to fry the chickens instead.

I used to go shopping every weekend. With or without a shopping list in hand, I'll just walk and walk to pass the time away.

He plays with his badminton buddies on Saturdays. After the game, I would hear him talk about the new skills he learned, the moves, the speed, the type of shuttlecock and also the rackets.
