Every weekday, we will go back to my mum's place for dinner.
Last Monday, my parents went for their 7-day holiday and I had decided to cook for my family. I never prepare dinner before and this year will be my first.
As I've said before here, I dread cooking. That's why for all these years, I had never stepped into the kitchen. Every weekend, either hubby cooks or we have our meals outside.
This year, is a different year for me as it's my year and I want it to be special. 2 days before my mum flew, I asked her how to prepare soup and she gave me some tips and ingredients to cook.
I also asked hubby for step-by-step on how to cook fried rice.
On the first day of the Mar holiday, I was quite nervous when the cooking time was near. I didn't have to prepare much as most of it were cut/prepared by hubby. All I need was to cook.
I told myself, I must do it. Whether it's undercooked, overcooked, too salty, too bland etc, I have done my best.
The end result for Monday's dinner looked like this.
The kids gave me 9/10 while the gourmet king gave me 7/10 due to the egg not being golden brown and the soup not enough taste.
Overall, their encouragements made me felt good. Finally, I was able to cook !! I felt a sense of achievement !!!
For the rest of the week, I had prepared fried rice and fried marconi. The more I cook, the more familiar I am with how much oil, salt, soy sauce etc to use. I felt good, really really good.
On Friday, it was supposed to be a break for me but the kids wanted to taste my fried rice again. So that day was the first time I cut the ingredients myself, finally.
Woohoo! I managed to overcome the obstacle and did it!
I felt so proud of myself. ;p
After cooking for 4 days, I know that from now onwards, I will cook more often for my family. Also, now hubby cannot say I don't know how to cook. Haha~!
Last but not least, the kids were also happy that their mummy finally knows how to cook!
