Yey! Quality time indeed. He craved for "Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa" kaya naman iyon ang niluto naming dalawa for dinner.
We had a great time together. Magkasama kaming nag-grocery, naghanda ng ingredients, nagluto ng ulam, at higit sa lahat ay sabay kaming naghapunan.
To be honest, cooking is not my hobby. I even don't know how to cook "lutong bahay" dishes. Nasanay akong magluto ng mga instant food like noodles, pancit canton, processed food, etc. But being with my partner in the same roof, I need to learn how to cook and must be willing to do it to make the most out of it!
Booyah! Finally we got the chance to cook Ginataang Sitaw at Kalaba for the first time! Itadakimasu~ π½
