So I have been trying my luck at cooking ever since I’ve been home bound and I think it was fun, I hate the part where I have to wash the dishes after though. lol Nothing major really just frying and oh I made Mango Float yesterday afternoon and just earlier today I had Bena and Diva sample a huge slice. Hope they liked it. Hehehe
- Scrambled Eggs -
- Corned Beef with Eggs
- Sardines with Eggs -
Apart from Math and swimming, cooking and everything that goes with it is also one of my many weakest links lol. I had a conversation once with a friend who asked who’s doing all the cooking now that I live alone since mom died. Her eyes went as round as saucers when I told her that in case she has forgotten I lived in the downtown area and there are several fast food chains nearby, one of which happens to be a favorite of mine, Chow King. Her reaction was actually funny and of course if I am lucky I might be able to coerce a friend or two from work to dine with me at a Japanese restaurant or at Big Mao.
I never attempted to learn how to cook that I admit … its just that I don’t get along well with kitchen utensils. Nyahahaha … anyways now that I am unemployed [now feeling the signs poverty creeping in] I encouraged myself to start cooking [if you call frying hotdogs and eggs cooking lol]. So yesterday I cooked corned beef with eggs and onions and by my standards [which is really close to nil] it went rather well. It was edible so I guess that went well.
I have made a promise to myself that from now on I’ll try to avoid fast foods and so long as am at home I’ll cook my own meal. Good luck to me …. many more burnt rice to come. Nyahahaha
My last entry was dated May 9, 2010 tsk tsk tsk been gone for a while hehehe … so let’s see what has happened since then.
- the election [w/c I chose not to partake ... as I am politically illeterate]
- Bena’s “farewell” lunch
- Mother’s Day [ Mommie Cherry's pasta was super delicious]
- school, school, school
I started this December 2007 and after say 6 sessions I stopped, why? let’s just say it was full moon and head started going bananas. So close to 3 years after … I picked up where I left off and heaven forbid for another round of full moon madness. lol.
September is fast approaching … and I can hardly wait I just hope they’d allow me to go, at 1/4 of the things that I need to paper is already done … weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Him: It’s been close to 3 years since I last saw you. I hope you still remember the basics.
Me: *just grinned foolishly*
Him: Can you at least make a sentence?
Me: Wo xihuan ni.
Him: Hen Hao.
Me: Xie Xie
Those who know me personally would ask, “Has the world turned upside down?” if they found out that I tried my hands in the kitchen in attempts of “cooking” something edible. I have spent the last two years since mom died eating out coz am a disaster in the kitchen and when there are times when am too lazy to go out to eat then it’s either instant noodles or good ol coffee. [Not good for the health, ... oh well, I should marry a chef!]
- It’s fried bolinao [baudnon] with lots of onions and tomatoes -
I haven’t eaten this viand for 3 years … this reminded of two things:
1st: the summer of 2001 where I spent training to become a CAT officer. Everyone had to bring their own lunch and the first time I brought this everyone liked it so we made a deal that I’ll ask my mom to prepare one every week. We all share our food back then and it was fun.
2nd: it reminds me of mom, I love this dish for what its worth and would always grab the opportunity to ask her to prepare it whenever possible. The way she mix sugar and vinegar then spread it all over the fried bolinao then top them with lots and lots of tomatoes and onions is just … amazing.
So today, I went on VGH as usual and went to the grocers, came home and cooked … and for the first time in my 24 years I made something edible. Not burnt or half done. Just cooked.
I miss my mom *sigh*
