Over the years, I have learnt a thing or two, some I have kept and carry until now, others I have already lost or shall I say set aside?

When the husband and I just got married, he spoiled me that I never had to do any cooking. Guess he didn't really like the taste of what I make so he always did them, LOL! I had little to no ounce of creativity and never really approached cooking with reckless abandon, nor I was not confident to try things out.

Things changed however when we moved to our own house and the above photo was one of those things that I learnt to love and do as I experimented in the kitchen. Back then (2017-18) I would scour YouTube for videos on how to's and that's how I made my very first ice cream roll which was quite a success.

But then after sometime, I lost it... I don't even remember when was the last time I baked something in the oven nor created something different from the usual. It did make me wonder why and because I couldn't find a reason, I'm intentionally putting the blame to my hormones, lol!

The good thing is that whilst I lost that newly-acquired "passion" in the kitchen, I did learn another and I call it mini-gardening.

A few years back (still at the other house), I brought out tea cups, mugs and recycled candy cans, planting them with tiny cacti and succulents. Even cut out plastic bottles and containers to grow my yard plants on.

Then I lost it again...

I don't know when I will be able to pick these back up but they certainly were fun memories to me. I haven't done neither of the above here at our second home, but I picked up another, something I enjoy and make time for.

What is it, you might ask...

I'd say it's what I do everyday - having a blast sharing things and memories here on Hive through my write-ups. And I'd like to think that I won't be losing it anytime soon, nor in the years to come... 'coz that would be really sad.

This by the way is my participation to the SilverPrompts for the month.
