Day 04 | What kind of food do I cook


The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.



Cooking has been my enemy for years. I despise cooking because of all the heat and the mess and the effort that I have to commit. I'd rather wait by the table (or mostly, by the TV) and wait for the food to be served. But recently, Rob has talked me into trying out cooking. Before, i could only cook noodles. And most of the time, they turn out either overcooked or undercooked , never just right. The first REAL food that I cooked is "FRIED RICE". With Rob's assistance, the fried rice turned out great! IT TASTED GREAT! :) I've been doing it over and over since.

Bacon that goes with fried rice!
Rob obviously enjoyed his food. 


The second and so far, last thing that I've tried cooking is a CALAMARES (fried squid). My mom wasn't around and I wanted to have a decent dinner. So I thought of something I could cook. It was Easter Sunday and I thought it's just appropriate to have seafood. So I googled the recipe for Calamares and went to the market. My mom came just in time to tell me that I have put too much calamansi in the squid and so I washed it again. The first batch was bland and my mom had to fix it. And oh! Another mishap is that I sliced the squid too small so it turned out like this.. But it did taste good. I kid you not.

These are so far the kinds of foods which I can cook!
