A Time For Cooking?

They say that there is a time for everything. You will never be prepared to do something unless you really want to do it. For me, I believe, the greatest task is cooking. I have attempted a thousand times to cook but I always end up feeling too lazy to do it. I was not even confident enough on how vegetables should be cut, or how certain spices are mixed with a certain dish. Pathetic, I know. I had to do something fast or my future husband wouldn’t be able to eat anything….except for take-outs and fried stuff.

Last week I had to urge to eat sinigang na baboy. I have missed eating this dish for a while and I know the only way to get the perfect sinigang was to let someone cook for me..or I have to cook it by myself. So, having this confidence about cooking I’ve never had before, I asked my flatmate for the recipe. The recipe she gave was simple to follow. I know I would make this easily. I hope. No one was there while I cooked. I just followed the recipe…..and voila! My sinigang was so nice!!!! It was the sinigang I’m craving for! I was so happy. Maybe for some this might sound weird but for me this is an achievement!

From then on, during my off, I decided to cook a dish. This afternoon I cooked some pork adobo and prepared some graham refrigerator dessert. My cooking went well again, and I even let my flat mates taste my adobo. They loved it! I think I’ve found a new hobby, and I am so glad that finally I am ready to face the kitchen. I am ready to love cooking!!!! Next off I’m planning to cook some chicken tinola and another dessert. Hope it will be good again so my cooking will go on!
