For the first time, I cooked dinner myself. Just me. My mom went out of town for the weekend and instead of heating all those ready-to-eat-microwaveable-food, I decided to cook. :D I usually do some frying or some microwave-ing.. but never cook, cook. LOL. I wanted to surprise my family, consequently seem a little more productive than they think I am. And I ended up, cooking.

I made Beef with Chinese Broccoli and Chicken Satay. I looked up recipes in a Thai Cookbook. The beef w/ broccoli dish tasted great accdg. to my dad (believe me he wouldn't say such thing just to make me feel better, he'd go as far as opening a can of pork and beans if my dish sucked).. however, he said it wasn't really appealing to the eyes. I guess I put too much cornstarch that the sauce thickened. Not bad for a first dish. The chicken satay was for my brother since he liked food that had curry on them. He said it was perfect. He said he wouldn't have had it any other way.... and that, my friends, marks the beginning of my new hobby - COOKING. I'm inspired by those words.. and surprisingly, I enjoyed preparing ingredients, cooking, and having people appreciate it. Awesome.

...the best way to a man's heart eh?

We'll see. ♥
