When your effort goes appreciated, it's a wonderful feeling. And hearing it from Grams and Sis and Mom and Dad, the appreciation and satisfaction doubled and even tripled! =)When there's no limit to what time to cook, what time to eat, the preparation of dinner at your own pacing is really relaxing. Still, of course there're the phases to follow, but I'm getting use to the fact that I'm gonna cook dinner for my family with whatever ingredients. And it's ALOT less stress when you stick with what you know and stop doing experiments with food.Of cos so far experiments had been rather successful: Mango Salsa! That was really successful! Gonna just put in the mango, tomatoes, lime juice, sugar, chilli and coriandar or pasley, and take away the cucumber...And also gonna lighten up the lime juice to just 1. 3 was totally extreme. It was an experiment! The lime juice was a failed one...made the whole salsa too sour. Not my fault =X Hehes!When I stick with what I know, with the amt of availability of ingredients, and I work at my own pacing, the food turned out nice and the amt are just right. And getting external help from my sis made the whole cooking and washing up easier and faster. And listening to mp3 while doing the cleaning up all by yourself makes the job seemed less like an obligation but as a process of enjoyment and not a chore. Even if it's part of the household chore.& today I realized 3 things:
1. We're really getting use to Krus' absence just as Krus is coming home this Sat :\It's just like a cycle. Every day at this particular time I'll prepare for dinner and cook it and clean (when I'm cooking that evening). However, I still very much miss her. Esp like today when I'm extremely tired and fell asleep til about 5.30pm. Gosh, I really wished she were back and preparing dinner so I could sleep longer... Lolz! =p 2. I truly love cooking ^_^I totally love cooking, and today when I saw the flames I was ecstatic! My sis was adding water into the pan while I fry the carrots and garlic, and cos the fire was big, when she added the water, I moved the pan so the sides touches the flame and "WOOSH!" red flames flared up beneath the pan. All I did was to shift the pan a little and there was the 'flame effect', like those u see in movies. TOTALLY COOL!!!!!! 3. Somehow I'm addicted to sink-washing. =.=lllAfter doing the dishes, somehow or rather, I kinda like to wash the sink. As if it's like a switch in me telling me to wash it. Automatically. And I only feel like taking a break after I'm done with the sink when it's clean and washed. Weird...... *shrug*Lucky I don't have to do it every single day. Can't imagine how Krus managed it. As much as I love to cook and clean the kitchen after dinner, I still can't see myself doing it every single day. Thankfully it's my holidays now, so I can still do the entire househole.
