| | Masak-ing (cooking) Ever since staying with Jamie, I have started cooking. Surprisingly, it isnt as bad or as tedious as I once thought it to be. Instead, I find myself enjoying it. Sure I'm not the best cook, infact I do it right 1 out or 3 times , but can you blame me? Amateur chief please. I must say, dessert is where I crash & burn. I follow the recipe, and still it comes out horrible. Even the already packed one's you can buy from Safeway/Coles turn out : 1. Hard as rock. 2. Not fully cooked. 3. Burnt. Only once, when I made Chocolate Souffl?did it turn out right(ish). It raised the way a Souffl?is supposed to, but taste, well, I say, I should've added more chocolate. And brownies, BROWNIES, easiest ever, cake thing you can make, I manage to screw up. Bit of chocolate/cocoa powder, egg, butter, flour, milk, self rasing flour, mix together, pour in pan, put in oven. Easy right? Too bad mine turned yuck. 
Can you believe this was supposed to be Chocolate pudding. Mind you, I followed the recipe. But not everything I make is a total disaster. I remember back in y.10 or y.11 I use to cook with Minji every time we stayed each over at each others house. And me & Shalen, we made killer "Kimchi sushi". Sure, dont sound so great, but it was (so we say). And Jamie enjoys my cooking (unless he's really doesn't, and is just saying he does just to be nice, which I will chop him to bits if that were the case)  Chicken wing in Beer Batter with Mayo.

All in all, although I am a horrendous cook at times, I still enjoy it. I especially love the way how some restaurants plate their dishes, and at times, make it look way too pretty to be eaten. |
