Happy Cooking

2/23/2013

I never imagined myself in the kitchen cooking some human dish ever in my life. My mom never let me stepped into the kitchen before when she could still cook. That is why I feel stupid when I was still in Dubai 2 years ago, I and my cousin bought some steaks, I told her I am going to make a butter steak. So she let me do my thing in the kitchen and yeah it turned out to be like a patient's bland diet meal in the hospital. She was laughing at me because she said I had to marinade it first before cooking it. WHAT ON EARTH IS MARINADE? Well yeah, I didn't know it and I admit it. But now I know it, I even know now how to do it. My mom has been sick, my cousin who used to cook for me is now living in the US, and my dad? He just know how to open canned goods, fry and eat. I have no choice but to learn and yes, I learned with the help of Mr. Google (hahaha). When I started cooking since December last year, my dad has been the judge. It's funny because it seems like God heard me. I asked him to give me knowledge and guide me in cooking that I wanted to do it for my family and for my husband and kids and their kids in the near future. My mom always tell me, "You should learn how to cook so that your husband to be won't leave you." I even pray before I start doing my thing in the kitchen. I write every dish I cook, so it will be easy for me to do it next time because I have short term memory. What I learned is maybe the first attempt was a mess but don't lose hope to take risk again. Like what the saying says, "Try and try until you succeed!" So far my family and friends haven't said anything bad about my cooking skills. It is not because they love me, they are straight forward people and sometimes harsh. Trust me! XD

Here are some of the dishes I cooked since I started...
