Cooking

As I saw the posts from Angie and BL talking about cooking, I used to cook a lot. Baking, Chinese food, American food and also Seafood were my bests. I used to try a lot of different food in restaurants and I could modify a little bit and cook them at home. A lot of people thought that my mom must be a great cook and I learn from her. HEHE!! Actually it is not the case cause I learnt my cooking here. My mom is a great cook after she married my dad because my dad is the pickiest person in the world about food. Even though I didn’t learn cooking from her, I still called my mom and dad up about cooking sometime (special when I preparing the exotic food such as eel!! HEHE)

For my first and second school years here, I lived in a host family. She is a single American and she always cooks American food (cakes, pasta etc). I loved to stand around when she was baking because the smell was so great (as BL said, no better smell other than banana bread even though I am not a big fans of banana bread). So I started my American cooking at that time. I always believe that cooking is not difficult as long as you can cook for your love one. Just a little bit of observation and creation will help you to make a nice meal. I also think that the chatting during the meals does make the meal even better.

However, I haven’t been cooking a big dinner for a while cause I can’t have a lot of food in these days due to my health problem. I am kind of giving up the heavy cooking lately. I do cook but they are all simple easy meals. Also we have 2 iron chiefs in EF so I just help them for the preparation instead of actually cooking the meals.

Since we are moving, I found a lot of cookbooks that I bought them way back. It brought me back a lot of memories. I miss them a lot. I talked to Anna one day that I want to cook a big dinner for the girls after we move into the new house. Also we will host a big house warming party when everything is settled. She agrees as long as it doesn’t affect my health. I hope my cooking skill will not be rusty at that time la.
