My new interest... sustainable?

Cooking is my new found interest... eating has definitely been my interest probaby since the day I learned to chew. Love food, love cakes, love chocolate! So... I guess cooking has always been a side interest. Guess this may not apply to all. Don't looking at the yummilicious food on blogs or magazines made you wish you could cook it so that you don't have to travel a million miles just to eat it (that is if traveling a million miles is possible). Or imagine the fun from cooking for friends and family! I think when real people who cook read that sentence, they will nod their head and go.. "Yeap! Definitely newbie!" =p

First phase of cooking hit me when I move to Tokyo briefly in 2008. Living alone for the first time on my own, I was determined to start cooking. Not too successful. The apartment I rented had no kitchen although my landlord was kind enough to provide me the basics. I did however go to cooking classes though. Individual cooking lessons for cheesecake, omurice, mango pudding and red bean paste bun... hmmm.. how many did I replicate outside the school? ONE! Omurice! Before I know what hit me, I was out of Tokyo. Sad :(

But.. guess if one is destined to be a cook, the spirit of cooking will always find it's way back. And TADA - I met DODO! DODO can cook... and he can cook very well. Impressed and inspired at the same time... but for a lazy person like me, inspiration takes time... and about a year later, I think I am finally acting on it.

Started with Basil Fried Pork with rice and a sunny side up for dinner yesterday (DODO says it was ok) and Thai Pork Porridge which was too bland for me... to barley water drink and fried lard in preparation for my Nasi Goreng with Fried Chicken tomorrow. Sounds impressive right? I am impressed myself too... No pictures sadly cause I am always too hungry and gooble my food down before I remember to take photos... maybe tomorrow. Hmm... maybe....
