This seems like the perfect prompt my mood today.
I was in the mood of getting my cooking skills back in order. Missing my cooking therapy and endless mis-en-place, cooking and cleaning after that. Maybe it was a much needed distraction for the entire day. It was either cooking or going out and spending money on buying more provisions than I can eat. Oh yes, retail therapy is also another weakness of mine.
Anyhow, who cares?
Whatever I cook, it's for me anyway for the next few days. Good thing is that I could freeze it and then heat it up for my daily dinner. I prepared:-
- Braised bitter guard with pork meat
- Braised pork with sliced potatoes
- Braised pork with salted vegetables and jelly fish
- Fried chinese sausage with egg
- Chinese herbal soup
- Steamed white rice
Oh yes, it's a lot of dishes to be prepared and made in one day. I actually feel happier at the end of the day though my fingers ache of the washing & cooking. I have enough cooked food to feed not only myself but perhaps a family of three. At least I don't need to think of what to eat for the next few days. It can be frustrating thinking of what to cook for one person; especially when it's only for 1 meal.
