i love cooking (and baking).  perhaps, it’s one of those passion i have deep inside of me that i never did discover when i was back home.  maybe because mom always does the cooking and i never had so much role except helping her with little stuffs when it’s almost done.

now, that i’m far away, i get to discover this hidden passion and perhaps, hidden talent. hehe.

to cut this short, i have learned that i do love cooking and baking.  so, once, i tried cooking japanese chicken curry. and here’s how it looked.  yum. yum. hehe.

i didn’t think i’d take this more seriously.  guess what?  i bought myself a new toy - an oven.  and i am so looking forward to having fun and exciting and delicious moments with my oven. 

and here’s what i made first - Philippine biko.  mom cooks biko really well and i haven’t tried doing it myself when i was back home.  not being around her makes me try it myself. and i am so damn proud of myself having done this thing.  it doesn’t look so good though, but… give me a chance… =)

yesterday, i made carbonara (pasta with white sauce) too for my dear friends who stayed overnight. i did it as i’ve seen on tv.

and this afternoon, we made cookies for tomorrow’s open church.  i had so much fun and i learned a lot.

way to go.  so much to learn.  and perhaps so much time left too.  well, maybe.

well, i’m just so looking forward to cooking and baking more. and more. really, when you’re doing something that you love to do, there’s no pushing yourself into doing it.  you find joy. and there’s always time for it.
